I know, I just think it's weird. Firstly, you'd think the government, of all groups, would want to have a more politically correct title. And I find it odd that Native people refer to themselves as Indian, seeing as their not and never have been Indians. Not my place to say, obviously, I just find it strange.

Anyways, this is pretty OT. I think it's cool these Indian people are coming to play, hopefully they can have a decent showing. I would guess they're from the more northern, mountainous parts of India.
