“Mr. President, Chief Bucktooth Dr. Robert of the Haudenosaunee.”

“Chief. Please sit.”

“Thanks for seeing me on short notice, Mr. President.”

“My staff said this concerned the Treaty of Canandaigua. We had to look it up: signed by George Washington himself.”

“Yes. Why so many of my people have ‘Washington’ in their names.”

“Ambassador She Washes Ton was here recently. Chief, the problem?”

“We found a typo in the treaty.”

“A typo? The treaty’s in the Smithsonian. How?”

“Digital copy. To the point, we should’ve gotten Michigan. George shafted us in 1794.”

“Now what?”

“We want Sleeping Bear Dunes.”

“Done.”
