I had a beautiful woman approach me in the college gymnasium and exclaim, 'You have the most beautiful red skin.' I took a friend to see Dances with Wolves and was told, 'Your people have a beautiful culture.' . . . I made many lifelong friends at college, and they supported but also challenged me with questions like, 'Why should Indians have reservations?'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat have you always wanted to know about Indians? Do you think you should already know the answers—or suspect that your questions may be offensive?
