It should be named something more appropriate. Maybe Caucasian Suburban Sprawl resort.
Just because you don't see a teepee or eagle head dress does not mean native americans are not here. My blonde hair/blue eyed daughter does not look half Indian. American Indian Center of Chicago is on Wilson in Chicago and has a gallery in Schaumburg. Illinois and Chicago are Indian names.. so is Schaumburg. Opppsss.. ok maybe not Schaumburg.
