But he just hadn't been raised in the culture and didn't want to spend 5 or 10 minutes explaining to the reported just exactly how he was whatever portion of whatever tribe(s)? Would it have mattered if he was asked by the group putting on the Pow Wow to dance... and that the Head Man Dancer (from a noted Native American family involved in Pow Wow's around much of the Midwest) commented to the young man that he danced well?<br /><br />Yes, I was there. I know the people involved, Native and non. You don't, and I find your prejudice, your stereotyping appalling. <br /><br />Maybe activity in the Boy Scouts aroused an interest in HIS native heritage? You presume if it is Boy Scouts, it is bad, corrupt, demeaning to the whole Native American community.<br /><br />Look at your own tendency to pre-judge; your own stereotyping; before you accuse others.<br /><br />-j-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
