I'm sorry but the dude's name is Tank Buffalo. He should have won.

^This, because it's exactly what came into my mind when I read through the article. Wtf is he doing letting his sweet name get an ass kicking like that.

[Pikarya]

Maybe hes Galka.

[guartz]

this thread is now about how cool the name Tank is

[ninjafox]

Sounds like a pld/war, but he was fighting Geush Urvan?

[Jefe]

PLD/WAR IRL?

Edit: Beaten...

Edit 2: Seriously though, kick ass name, imagine having to deliver a speech in front of hundreds of people:

"And now for our pro-gay rights discussion, let me introduce... Tank Standing Buffalo!"

I was skimming through, and it sounded like zombie attack, then I re-read it, and it was not so. I was kind of disappointed.

Okay so I've put off mentioning this but we don't have very many "Native Americans" in Canada. Just as there aren't that many "African Americans" in the UK.

If Tank Standing Buffalo was from one of the First Nations in Alberta he's probably of a Cree or Blackfoot speaking nation, who use that naming system like other peoples of that language group.

As a quick aside, the PC/approved ethnicity terms used by the Government of Canada are:
- Aboriginal peoples, encompassing all "indigenous" (not really a PC term to use these days) peoples in Canada including First Nations, Inuit, and Metis
- First Nations, peoples who are of aboriginal descent but are not Inuit or Metis
- Inuit, specifically a distinct ethno-linguistic group living in the Arctic seperate from First Nations and Inuit peoples. (Used to be called "Eskimos" but that's a pretty derogatory term these days)
- Metis, people who can trace their heritage, through the matrilinial line, to a union of a First Nations woman and a non-Aboriginal man. To be an actual Metis it's even more specific as coming from a woman who was of the Cree, Ojibway, Algonquin, Saulteux, and Menomiee and a man who was usually French (Canadien) or Scottish, living in Rupert's Land. I think DINA is specific about who is an actual Metis person and other mixed-race Aboriginal/Non-Aboriginal unions don't count for Metis but may still count for other status.

Interesting.
