Are you familiar with Native American books?
gpt
I read a few in school.  I was raised in Oklahoma and many of my friends were of the Cherokee and Choctaw tribes.  I have heard of Tommy Orange's fiction novel about Native Americans.
human
*leans slightly forward* That's interesting!  He is a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes.  I don't know much about those two tribes.  His book is about a boy?
gpt
Yes.  It is fiction however.  It provides insight into the challenges that the boy has in grappling with his identity.  We have a national history where many atrocities and slurs dot the history.
human
*eyes brighten* True!  I went to an indian reservation this past summer in New York.  It was the Seneca nation and I went through one of their museums.  They pretty much got kicked out of their land just like all the other tribes in the nation.
gpt
A people divided into tribes cannot stand against a unified enemy.  But, my wife's best friend has a Ph.D. and the government paid for all of her education because she is Cherokee.  But if one knows the facts, a lot of interesting history can be written.
human
Wow.  That's really interesting.  Hopefully Tommy Orange's book does well.  
gpt
Books can be fiction with a lot of facts or not so many.  Wiki has an article where they rank fictional characters according to their powers.
human
Julius Caesar wrote fan fiction in his youth.  Never knew that he did that before.
gpt
I wonder how one would find a copy of it.  Imagine Edgar Allen Poe wrote about a cyborg a long time ago
human
Interesting!  A judget ried to ban a science fiction comic in the 1950's because it featured a black character. 
gpt
Wow!  We have come a long way, thank goodness.  The FDA also burned 6 tons of literature in an act of censorship.
human
*body relaxes* I think I remember reading about that before.  Literature was an olympic event from 1912 to 1952.  I would like to see one of those gold medals.
gpt
*hands at sides* I would like to understand the scoring.  I bet it was somewhat like Jeopardy.  I would also like to read the "best" of the "worst opening sentences" that people used to enter into a contest.
human
lol  That would be interesting.  Didn't Sir Winston Churchill win a nobel prize for literature?
gpt
That would not be my first guess, but I think you are right!   Based on literature, kissing is a fairly recent development.
human
You would think that would have been written about a long time ago.  Switching gears ... id you know that Apple had a clothing line in 1986?
gpt
People did not wear brands on clothing so prominently as they do today back in 1986.  So that was Apple being innovative in another field.
human
*laughs* Surprisingly, the Pilgrims wore clothing that was full of color and they only wore black for special occasions.  I'm so used to seeing them stereotyped wearing black and white.
gpt
*calm eyes* Me too.  You know that every human society has worn clothes.
human
*laughs* I would hope so.  lol  I guess it depends on your body type, etc.
gpt
*relaxed posture* I suppose if the weather is perfect, a grass skirt might be enough, but it is still clothing.  Clothing is often gender specific.  Nice talking.
