These days we call them "Native Americans" or "indigenous people". It's not necessarily politically correct, I prefer to think of it as being respectful.

Martin Revson, brother of one of the founders of Revlon, dies at 105. http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/2016/05/27/martin-revson-pine-plains-co-founder-revlon-dies-105/85036204/

 

Article suggests he was a co-founder, I'm not so sure, but what is of more interest was that he was implicated in the quiz show scandal involving the $64,000 Dollar Question in the 1950s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950s_quiz_show_scandals Further interest is that Patty Duke who was a contestant on a companion show admitted to having been coached.

These days saw a lot of centenarians passing away. Strange, considering they've been alive for over a century!

A unique on the DDP when there's a qo. Meantime, any opportunity to post this gem:

Not terribly relevant for DDP purposes but this says he's 104 not 102.

He had an Aichy Braichy Heart.
