"If they weren't Indians," Oedipa asked, "what were they?"
 

“In light of the recent bombings in London, it is 
crucial that  police, fire and emergency medical 
personnel take notice of their  surroundings, and 
be aware of ’vagrants’ who seem out of place or  
unfamiliar,” said  the message, distributed via 
e-mail to some  federal employees in Washington by
the U.S. Attorney’s office.
 
"It is based on a State Department report that was
issued last week. The  State Department had no 
immediate comment Monday.
 
"The warning is similar to one issued by the FBI 
before July 4,  2004  that said terrorists may 
attempt surveillance disguised as  homeless people, 
shoe shiners, street vendors or street sweepers."

It was mixed in so with the Indians," he tried to remember, 
"the dream.  The Indians who wore black feathers, the Indians 
who weren't Indians. My  grandfather told me. The feathers 
were white, but those false Indians were  supposed to burn 
bones and stir the boneblack with their feathers to get  them 
black. It  made them invisible in the night, because they 
came  at night. That was how the old man, bless him, knew 
they weren't Indians. No  Indian ever attacked at night. If he  
got killed his soul would wander  in the dark forever. Heathen.
