Native Americans have and still are stereotyped in many ways. These stereotypes have been largely perpetuated by Hollywood and sports teams. Probably the most glaring of stereotypes is the way Indians are supposed to look. Indians range from blond and blueeyed to black haired and brown eyes and everything in between. Some are short, some tribes are very tall. Most actually have pale skin but can have very dark skin. The variables are as numerous as there are tribes.

Housing is another stereotype. Tribes lived with what was most feasible for their area. Today they live as any other American.

Traditions and beliefs vary per tribe or even clan.

Some that I read in the past 10 minutes:

We all speak the same language: "Native American"

Anyone can be Native American, they just want to know how to "join"

All white names can be translated into "Native American"

Some others I've heard is:

"HOW!"

Do you still live in a tepee?

Indians have a lot of casino money
