French Table Manners
I am interested in French table manners. In the US, we put our napkin on our lap and eat with one hand while the other we keep on our lap. We don't put our elbows on the table and it is rude to lick your fingers or eat with your fingers. (Unless it's finger food like fried chicken or corn on the cob. But you still shouldn't lick your fingers!) Is this similar to French table manners? Manners are getting to be more relaxed in the US and many people don't even know how to use their utensils properly; they put their elbows on the table and leave their napkin next to their plate. It is sad to see manners slip away like that. Are table manners very important in France?

Re:Learning american native culture and tradition
Hello,
You would like to learn about the history of America and the people? I am American and I can tell you a little about the people here. Most people are a mixture of nationalities. For example, my mother is Sicilian. My Grand Parents are both from Sicily, Italy. Most everyone you meet has a different cultural background but it is usually from several generations back. Most people say they are a mixture. There are not very many natural blonds here. Most people have medium to dark hair. There are a lot of people coming from Mexico and Spanish is becoming widely used. It is almost the second unofficial language. Also, there are a lot of Chinese. They are thinking of offering it as a language in elementary schools. Although, as a rule, American schools do not force children to learn other languages. That is something Americans want for their children but the government doesn't inforce it.
True Native Americans are all over the US on reservations. They can choose to live there or live anywhere they want. They receive benefits if they are actual Native Americans. It is sad that there are not very many pure Native Americans anymore. (They used to be called American Indians)In the US, many reservations make their money by opening casinos. As far as I know they are not subject to the same tax as other Americans.
This will end my history lesson for today. I hope you enjoyed it and learned something.
