And they call it heritage . . .

[ThistleDown]

Creek Chief Waldo Mackintosh was descended of an illegitimate son of William Mackintosh of Borlum. Waldo visited Scotland in full Creek garb but did not mix his heritages, at least in his dress, while he was in Scotland.

Yes, may have been him. It's long ago to remember faces, but whoever it was he was certainly wearing the kilt and an Indian headdress.

As an aside it was actually a good highland games/pipe band competition!

Quite amusing. Clearly a pair of boots like those would call for a truly outstanding pair of kilt hose. Big faux pas.

It occurs that perchance "they" call it heritage because it is heritage - theirs. And are we not all the conflation of our roots?

Or maybe it's just that we don't see this often enough done well, or at least better. After all as someone posted on another
current thread, "Familiarity tends to control the psychology of what we like.". I don't know how to import a quote from another
thread to this one, but in this context that poster might prefer to remain anonymous.
