Hello NAFPS forum Members.
I've been browsing through the forum for a few weeks now and found you through Pow Wow.com
Thank you so much for you work, research and personal insights. This is truly a serious topic which is handled here with a great deal of respect.
The humor is classic and intelligent too. I've laughed and smiled just as much as I have felt inspired and sometimes shocked.
I'm giddy to have learned the term "Facepalm" (See introductions)
I'm very glad an open forum like this exists.
A bit about me...
I am an American, born in Chicago, married to a Portuguese, and I live in Germany now. (Yes, all in one incarnation even  ;)
I studied Architecture and Anthropology in Iowa and have been working and living in a few places in between.
I joined the forum out of real concern for the growing plague of fakes in Germany (posing mostly as Native Americans).
I hope to post a new topic and new info soon on an old and known fake.
I would appreciate some input on the matter first, and invite an experienced member, preferably a woman, to a dialogue
(no offense guys-I'm new here and I'd just like to get to know the girls first). Thanks.
