re: #53 Alouette

So what? I don’t care if they called themselves the tribe of Mr. Clean clones. The fact is that they, and their ancestors, LIVED there for thousands of years. This notion that you have to have an identifiable culture that you can place alongside Mayan and Chinese and French culture in order to deserve the right to occupy a particular spot of land is crazy. You can pick any small spot on the globe and have trouble finding that (particularly for a people who had primarily been part of other people’s empires for a very long time).
