question:
I'm vacationing to the Boston area for a week and am interested in Native American history and culture. There's plenty of historic colonial landmarks and museums, but I can't seem to find the equivalent for tribes. (Where) do they exist?

I'm not looking for a specific tribe. I'll have a car, so anywhere from Connecticut to Maine would be possible.

From what I know about history, New England was settled before reservations were set up, and most natives died of disease or were assimilated into European culture. This leads me to believe that tribes don't have much presence, anymore.

Addendum: I'm from California, so I'm familiar with Indian casinos, but a quick search of Indian museums in California shows some around all the major metro areas. I can also find websites of tribes in California that advertise public cultural events. I expected to find similar things in New England. My motivation for asking is primarily for professional development: the content standards for 5th grade social studies includes pre-colonial American history, and this may be my only opportunity to visit this area.

answer:
Native American history in New England


question:
On Friday I booked a flight with AirBerlin and paid with PayPal. The ticket was issued correctly (I received the booking and ticket numbers and an invoice) but they payment has been stuck in Pending state in PayPal since then (I paid with a prepaid card from my bank linked to my PayPal account).

Today I called the airline to make sure everything was okay and they told me they received the money, to not worry and to wait for PayPal to refresh the status of the payment.

So I called PayPal and they told me the amount had only been authorized but the payment had never been completed.

Called again the airline with the info from PayPal but they said the same thing as the first time.

Also PayPal told me it could take up to a month before the authorized amount is unblocked from my card.

I'm worried that if nothing changes when the authorization expires and the money is unfrozen the booking will be cancelled and at that point a ticket might cost a lot more.

Has anyone been in this situation before? What do you suggest? 

answer:
Flight booked but card not charged


question:
When I take a US Taxi, I'm noticing more and more that the drivers either text or call on hand-held phones while driving, both of which make me feel unsafe. Say, as unsafe as seeing an open beer can in the cup holder.

I'm familiar with statistics that pretty conclusively show that calling and texting while driving distracts you enough to make you unsafe, arguably more unsafe than driving intoxicated. To that end, I'd like to ask the driver to put the phone down for the duration of the trip, the same way I would ask my friends or parents to keep their phones put away with me as a passenger. But I'm also aware that taxi drivers do this for a living and probably know way more than I do about safe driving habits.

Is it reasonable for me expect the driver not to use their phone while driving? And if so, is it acceptable for me to request that the driver hold off on using it while I'm in the car with them?

answer:

Is it acceptable to request a taxi driver stop using their phone while driving?
