| Native Lore: How much Indian are you really? Check your "earwax" |  Okay, we've heard it all now. Those strange statements arising from
discussions of how you can tell if someone is Native American.
Although no one will admit it in public, we go off to the privacy of
our own home and see if we have the traits "they" are talking about,
even if we are obviously Indian. One that I heard in college was that
Native Americans and Asians have Shovel-shaped incisors. That is, that
your two front teeth on the top are concaved on their backside, where
non-Indians' are smooth and resemble the front of the tooth - in other
words they are curved in like the shape of a shovel. (You're touching
your teeth with your tongue right now, aren't you?)

| Native Lore: Ice man |
The Ice Man
The old people tell us that once when the people were burning the woods in the fall, the blaze set fire to a poplar tree, which continued to burn until the fire went down into the roots and burned a great hole in the ground. It burned and burned, and the hole grew constantly larger, until the people became frightened and were afraid it would burn the whole world. They tried to put out the fire, but it had gone too deep, and they did not know what to do.

| Native Lore: COYOTE AND THE MONSTER OF KAMIAH | This Nez Perce story tells how Coyote made the different people, including the Nez Perce, and how certain animals came to look as they do today. Without Coyote's cleverness in outwitting the monster, the people and animals today would still be imprisoned in the Mon ster's belly.
