First Minority VP?

For John, BLUF:  Strange, isn't it, that in a a time the Klan was still active we could see an American Indian as Vice President.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

This item by Blogger Don Surber (self described as The Scorekeeper) is not news to me but might be to many.  He writes of "[US Vice President] Charles Curtis, the Indian who became vice president"

But, it was a different time.  A time of assimilation.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
