Germans and Indians

I'm linking to this more for my own memories sake than anything else due to a conversation I had about a German museum conservator with fond memories of Cowboys and Indians and Thieves and Policemen and the subsequent search for this article which I read last year. In any case, it's somewhat interesting. So is this.

Alex Biber's day job is designing semiconductor technology. Away from work, he becomes Beaver, a Cheyenne warrior.

Biber the engineer drives on the autobahn and wears blue jeans. Beaver the brave wears hand-tanned buckskin and rides a horse, commanding the steed in an ancient language once used by Plains Indians. Biber, his wife and two daughters live in a 91-year-old farmhouse, but the family vacations in tepee villages in humid Central European forests.
