  1. My guess is that Native Americans would have a thing or two to say about this hotel.
    I find it quite interesting, though. Did you stay there?

    1. Yes, we did. Rooms are small, but clean and newly decorated. Not expensive.

  2. Looks nice. Am I right to assume that Alex Johnson was not a Native American?

    1. Alex Johnson was not Native American, but he was adopted into the tribe and honored by them. He had his portrait painted wearing a Chief's head dress. These days we see that portrait as not in the best taste.
