Many in the States claim Native American anscestory... Much like claiming Scot or Irish blood.... I guess in a society which has no real culture of it's own, people reach back to what they believe is their culture from the past...
Hi Peacekeeper,

I think it's because we as Americans are actually multicultural and tend to embrace traditions and people from all over the world. Don't make it out be a bad thing.
