Kilted Indian?

[Robert Lamb]

Friday night I was at McMenamins "Grand Lodge" here in Forest Grove, to take in some live music.
I was sitting at a small table by my self drinking coffee and enjoying the sounds. Anyway this fellow come up and says "I just wanted to shake the hand with a real man in a kilt". We talked a bit and I asked him "Where is your kilts"? "He was in shorts. He said he was an American Indian (he even showed me his card) and Jewish"
I "said that does not mean anything, you don't need to be Chinese to eat chinese food". He he had thought about it so I told him The first kilt L wore I rented it from a costume rental outfit in Hillsboro.
I gave him on of my cards, He thanked me and he went on his way.
I don'tthink he will ever wear a kilt but who knows.

That's cool. We've got a kilted indian in our group out here in Arizona. I completely agree with you though, you don't need to be of any national heritage to wear a kilt. I like your analogy that "you don't need to be chinese to eat chinese food". Cheers!

I'm a native Texan, but I've always got a kick out of the bumper stickers saying, "I wasn't born in Texas---but I got here as fast as I could." Same same with kilts, I'd venture.

That is a way to start it. Who knows, maybe we'll see the fellow here some day soon. I know we have a few half-blooded & mixed blood American Indians, and a Jew or 2

And on that note, I wonder what kind of mix we really have here. I'll bet were the muttliest rabble on the internet

I resemble that remark In my genealogical research I have uncovered: Irish, English, Scots, Welsh, Cherokee, German (specifically Bavarian), Dutch, Jewish, French, and possibly Swedish. And there are still a lot of gaps to be filled yet!

Here here, mutts for the win! English, Irish, Scottish, German, Austrian, Dutch, and a few others. But I really just consider myself 100% Canadian (and a kilted one at that).

I'm a Scot with English, French & Greek mixed in ... O do not forget the Italian.

I remember reading that during the French and Indian Wars, the Indians of the Iroquois Confederacy regarded the soldiers of the Black Watch as 'distant cousins' - probably because the Gaelic culture has many common 'markers' with theirs.

I have a Sikh customer who is considering a kilt in the Singh tartan!

..and remember that 'mutts' are the most robust bloodlines! (Someone once described the 'pureblood' Habsburgs as 'a pack of stuttering bleeders'!

My earliest ancestors arrived in America before it was the USA. Other nationalities have been braided in at various points, but you can imagine what a muddle of nationalites there are in my family tree.
