Apparently, there's some sort of checklist to being an authentic Indian or in this case a Meskwaki Indian.

- Thou must speak the Meskwaki language.
*I know the basics, but I prefer to speak it with an Irish accent. I don’t know why I do. Perhaps, I think it makes me appear jolly. A jolly good Indian.
- Thou must be a traditional person.
I never see you at the clan feasts therefore you are not Meskwaki enough. *I don’t like what goes on at those feasts … using it the wrong way. No, thanks. I’m not going to be a part of that. Not for me.
