““The expression "Red Man" was used to describe the Indian by the white traders. It came from the fact that some of the Indian tribes painted themselves with red oxide. Actually, the color of Indian skin varies from very light yellow or olive color, to very dark brown. Their eyes vary in color from black, brown, or hazel to gray or even blue; their hair from straight, coarse black to soft brown. Some Indians are tall and straight with high cheek bones, while others are short, round, and squat.””
