Re:Now, do these Native American/American Aborigine/Amerindian/Indians have hair on their feet? I can only quote the master on this..These are hypothetical Indians! (see way above, himself reminded me!)
as to what these hypothetical indians have or don't have.. i think you'll have to make up your own hypothetical indians..., hypothetically speaking!

These are hypothetical Indians!

If they're so hypothetical why can't I hypothesize them with transparent moccasins?

What sort of cosmetics would you use to apply make up to these hypothetical Indians, of troy?
Rouge, I suppose, wouldn't be much good, although scarlet nail varnish might look good on the Blackfeet.
It'd be no good giving them powder unless you gave them shot as well.

Mind you, back in the 50s, my sister-in-law used to refer to their cosmetics as "War Paint," so I s'pose the whole thing ain't so silly.

i have no idea what your hypothetical indians wear, or for that matter, what Milo's or Faldages indians wear, but my indians for sure would wear natural earth tones, from 'indian paint pots' -- naturally occuring balls of red and ocher clay, that can be found at clay outcroppings..

my hypothetical indians would be excellent at finding them.. they would supplement their cosmetics with natural carbon (lamp black), and dyes made from berries..

Hold on, Faldage - surely TEd was just trying to imitate someone with a lisp putting on a German accent? And any one (who is anyone!) can make a typo by missing a space!
