A Native American and a Jew
A Native American comes back to the Reservation to visit with his
parents after spending some time in New York City .
He announces to his father that he’s fallen in love with a nice Jewish
girl and they plan to wed.
His father is mortified and says “You’re betraying your heritage and
you’ll break your mother’s heart that you’re not marrying a nice
Indian girl. ?You know how Jews are– they’ll feel the same way as we
do and you’ll be ostracized in both camps.”
The son reassures his father, “Don’t worry. ?They must have accepted
the situation because they have already given their daughter a Native American
name.”
“Really?” says the father. ?”What’s the name?”
The son answers, “Sitting Shiva.”
