Given that many Native Americans harken from NE Siberia, have you run
these Props by the relative populations there? Your blanket wishes
cover only a single bed; what happen's when you throw this over a
king-size?
Proposal #6

Native Americans must be given the right to decide the cultural
context of their traditional cultures.

And those Native American artists who meld their cultural milieu with
that of "other cultures" (you assume boundedness in a multilayered,
interleaved world), must they get the copyrights from both cultures,
or only their own?
