OK, this Native American wanted a better life for his son than growing up on the rez and getting drunk every night.
So he sent him to a trade school where he learned to be an electrician.
The Indian was proud of his boy so he took him and his certificate as a qualified electrician to see the chief and show them off.
The chief read the certificate, grunted and finally said,
“Hey, this is great! I’m wondering—I go to the outhouse at night and I’m stumbling around. One night I almost fell in. Do you think you could fix it up with a light?”
And the young brave said, no problem.
Word traveled, and he became known as the first Indian to wire a head for reservations.
