I don't object to honesty. I object to blatant, disgusting bigotry, and the advocacy of genocide against an entire race of people.

Honesty is fine. Better that bigots come right out and say what's on their minds. Then no one is guessing.

Familiarize yourself with Edward Sheriff Curtis, Floyd, then come back and tell me Twain's Indian sounds anything like the culture documented in photographs by this remarkable man - whom I dare say immersed himself in American Indian culture far more than Mark Twain ever could have.

I have yet to view a Curtis photograph of a scrawny, dirty Indian holding his pants up with one hand, wearing a belt made of sardine cans.

P.S. Did you know the Iroquois developed their own constitution that influenced the content of ours?

You should be used to this sort of commentary on FR. I sure am.
