We are informed that in Indian country, the term twink generally
refers to blondes into generic `Native American spirituality'. Signs
include Indian jewelry with MADE IN THAILAND stamped on it, crystals,

grandmas, a love of Dances with Wolves, and a fear of AIM and the
NCAI. The twink nature is everywhere.
