I for one have a very difficult time imagining Native American culture
modernized, even in a real tense (I have no Amerindian blood in me), the
most vivid images I can conjure of native american culture are like some
sick cowboys and indians movie. As for the totems, I have gathered from
postings here that there are a wide variety of views, most of which are
probably based more on SR liturature than any basis in fact at all (myself
included).
