Written by Ilene Warren
After last week's column (in which I referred to the possibility of an Indian perched in my family tree) I rediscovered some relatives — or they rediscovered me. Someone on the Dunlap side scoffed, "Whoever heard of a
Scotch Indian?" If he meant a thrifty Indian or one on the rocks,
such Indians do exist; however, if he meant nationality, that is
another story. Anyway, the old Indian fighter to whom I referred
was on the Parrott side of the family tree. Great-grandma Ake's mother was part Indian — t least it has been strongly suggested hat she was. Frankly, I hope it's true for the Indian has a glorious past, his present is pretty good and the future looks even better!
