This guy kinda seems like a wuss. Clingman's dome is no everest.
"I was hiking and it felt like a group of Indians could've walked right by me," he said, recalling the history of the trail and the area it covers. "You really have to go there in person to really understand it." Who calls Native Americans indians any more??? C'mon it's 2007 here, let's not carry on the ignorance of our ancestors, OK?
there's nothing deragatory about indian
People from the country of india have a child born as an american citizen. That child is a native American Indian. "Indian" in regards to the natives who inhabited this country before the Europeans, is based on the misconception that when columbus landed here he landed in India. Make sense. By the way, I don't want to start an arguement, I just want to end the ignorance of the world. Don't be so mean...... and your capitalization sucks showing that you are probably under-educated mountain folk.

If you want to American, be one.
If you want to be a ...........American, go somewhere else.
I'm about sick of these ..........a**holes.
The term American Indian, as LW notes, is also used quite frequently besides Native Americans. Additionally, the term Indian is still in use and even used by Native Americans.
The name Columbus should also be capitalized if capitalization is considered important.
Beyond all that, this news piece was a bit ho hum. I do remember the climb up to Clingman's as sweaty, but I did push through it. I thought the author's one or two 12 mile days to be a bit atypical.
