The article states that mixing with "non-American Indians" brought English into the culture. Did the writer mean "non-Indian Americans"? I cannot imagine what non-American Indians might be in this context. Hence, I cannot see the logic of the present statement. Trevor H. (UK) 12:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Trevor, "non-Indian Americans" would strike me more as referring as: "all those persons not belonging to the ethnic group of Americans originally from or with an ancestry based in India." I see your logic, though. It's a matter of governing, right? You're taking it as non-American] Indians] rather than [non-[American Indians. I think that the latter interpretation would be the more common because [American Indians] is a valid single phrase when in conjunct (rather than [American][Indian] without American][Indian, at least in US English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bunsushi (talk • contribs) 13:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
