- Pocahontas: A white person, who thinks themselves to be an Indian, although they are not tribally enrolled, nor have any demonstrable Indian blood or tribal adoption; supposedly a Harvard law school has a quota of Pocahontas's though whether this quota, if it even exists, is a glass ceiling or glass floor is open for debate.
- Navajo Code Talker: An Indian, usually but not necessarily a Navajo, who talks about "flying turkeys" who are all set for a "crash landing" and will end up in a "birdcage"; possibly in English, if they are feeling so inclined. See also: Counting Coups. See also: hero.
- Counting Coups: The Indian practice, among some tribes, of quietly putting a notch in their rifle for all the people they chose not to kill, but could have and maybe even should have.
- Indian: A term for some to be indignant about. Any of the various native nations on turtle island (q.v.) or any member thereof whether by blood or adoption. Possibly a corruption of the term Indigenous? Usually thought to be due to Columbus's navigation error. See also: redskin/red's kin.
- Redskin: A paleface suffering from a bad bout of nuclear radiation.
- Red's kin: Polite term for a half-breed, quarter-breed, octaroon, or any other mixed blood person; not to be confused with "red kin", which is a rude term for a shabby commie relative.

“In deep cold cavernous spaces
where shadows pair with shades
where old books dream the dreams
of times when they were trees
where coal doth bear the diamond
one knows not light nor day
there ’tis where every spirit reigns
who one would call a shadow-king”
--Colophonius Regenschein (see also: "the devil is beating his wife again")
If you read this far you should buy the book and satisfy the rest of your curiousity while laughing about the human condition. "Go on, sign here."

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
