Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

My ethnicity is so muddied that I couldn't even trace my ancestors beyond Texas(I know, I know). The only background I know for sure is Choctaw Native American, German, and a little Prussian.

Turkey is the means by which Americans ceremoniously ruin their own health in the name of false piety.

My wife is well into 'native american spiritualism'. I bet shes got it all wrong.

Every time she goes out she drips in silver and turquoise jewlry which all had to be made in North america by native americans, costs a fortune it does.

If she is native american, I'd say that there is nothing more natural than to be interested in the native religious practices of her own people.
I personally am very interested in our pre-muslim religion, although I couldn't profess to be a practicioner, as it simply is not a religion that you can practice as a solitary practicioner.

It isn't the name we gave to our own country.
It actually is a name that the italians gave to us. The name Turkey comes from "Turchia" which in turn comes from "Turchmenia".
If I'll ever be in a position to change the name of our country, I'll rename it "Far Turkistan".

Considering that the term "Native American" covers a huge range of diverse cultures, I'd say that it's a safe bet.

Cherokee "spiritualism" isn't the same as Potawatami "spiritualism" isn't the same as Miwok "spiritualism"...

My language probably sounds like that to you.

I kinda feel sad when I hear about them tho.
I don't know, but we Turks feel some sort of a connection with the native Americans to some extent.
