“Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians but Were Afraid to Ask” could have been named “Everything You You didn’t Realize You Needed to Know About Indians”, but it’s clear that volition is important. I encourage you to ask the question ‘What should I know’ as well as ‘What do I think I know that may be incorrect’.

There are so many things that I learned from this book that I am saddened to admit I didn’t know before, despite the years spent in and around the territory of the Misi-zaaga'igani Anishinaabeg (Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe) in Northern Minnesota and the Mikinaakwajiw-ininiwag (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians) in North Central North Dakota. In fact, I believe that it is this familiarity that led to never asking more questions.

Just curious. Language people might know this.

"Wooden paper "

Paper = thin sheets of fibrous pulp, usually wood.

These are very thin planks, never pulped. So is it correct to label this "wooden paper"?

A public transport terminology question: What do you call a kind of (usually bus) route feature where the line turns onto some side street, serves one or more stops along it, turns around, goes back along the same street, and then continues onwards on some 'main' road?
(And seriously, this feels obscure enough that I'd like answers in literally any language)
I know two Polish terms for it - "zajazd" and the clearer and perhaps more professional "wjazd kieszeniowy" - but nothing that could possibly be recognized by anyone not from Poland, which might be an issue with regard to documenting a thing I'm working on.
Attached is an example of what I'm talking about from a Brno line map I had lying around:
