[Woodcarver] ??? on American Indians

[Steve Lankerd Sr]

Hi,
About hair braiding...  I live on the only Native American reservation in
the state of Alaska.  Out of all of the native men here with long hair, I've
only seen 2 that braid their hair and they do it with 3 strands.
You can't get any more authentic than these guys....  :)

Best Regards,

Steve
