Because I’ve heard Biden refer to those last two tribes in every speech he gives.
Native American Groups Allege Met Museum’s Curator Is ‘Pretendian’
New York Post | May 28, 2024 | Isabel VincentNative American campaigners are raising questions about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s first-ever curator of Native American art — claiming she does not belong to a federally recognized tribe in the US, The Post has learned.
Patricia Marroquin Norby was hired with great fanfare in 2020, after what the museum said was “a long and competitive search,” as its “inaugural Associate Curator of Native American Art” in its American Wing. For years, Marroquin Norby, 53, described herself — including in legal filings — as “Apache,” “Eastern Apache” and “Nde” as well as “Purepacha/Tarascan” . . .
Wait — did they use English to describe the job title and salary, etc.? Isn’t that counter-productive?
“A long and competitive search,” hmm? Let me guess who she wasn’t competing against.
Well she did win them over at the job interview when she kept saying..” Hi how are ya..hi how are ya..hi how are ya..”
So there are some things you can’t identify as in the modern world.
Who knew.
I’m like 1/16, or something, Southwestern Chiracahua Apache. They say my great great grandfather was Chief Sit-On-Your-Ass. He was laid back but stern…mainly just laid back with the squaws.
Obviously, Hillary Little-Server-Wiper wasn’t in the running…
….neither was Chef Faux-Who-Haunts-Us, from the Halloween tribe up in Massachusetts.
Anyhow, Post-turtle In A Pant Suit*, ain’t running (she/it ain’t going nowhere).

I think after the soldiers marched them all onto the various reservations there was probably some mixing and matching. Nowadays trying to identify the specific tribe would be like trying to identify the specific breed of an alley cat.
