<< Does anyone have any suggestions concerning gifts for German adults? > Greetings Listers, When visiting in Germany, I had taken along a map of my American state of North Dakota. The German families I was with were very interested in pictures of our Native American Indians, the separate lands they live on and the fact that our Indian Tribes now operate Gambling Casinos and even have money. A picture of a present day Indian Pow Wow seemed to make them think we were still living in the very Wild West as they might see in old TV Western movies complete with feather head dress, bows and arrows, and still on the war path. As a thank you, I sent them a USA Sacagawea $1.00 coin with a bit of Indian history. One fellow then said he was a coin collector and very pleased to receive this for his collection. There is presently an exhibit of our North Dakota Indian Artifacts at the Linden Museum in Stuttgart. There are large crowds and much interest in viewing these. Germany just doesn't have many [any] Native American Indians to match ours in America...... Mary Lynn Axtman

Yes, our relatives were fascinated with American Indians, also. Good idea.
