I joked that I wasn't aware that I was disappointing folks and would be sure to keep that in mind for future visits.
So, Bubba, shake things up a little. Consider wearing some pants around town and see what folks say!

When referring to those who are descended from peoples native to North America, when I do not know the tribe I default to the term "Native American" with the intention of distinguishing then from people who hail from India.
I have the tiniest smidgeon of Native American blood in me, no more than 1/16th. This entitles me to nothing, but still it pleases me in an odd way. The author Sherman Alexi has termed folks like me as "thimble indians" in reference to the thimble full of Native American blood that we have surging through our bodies. He means it with derision, but I find it pretty funny!
