People are just curious and a bit stupid at times. It seems foreign to many, almost mythical. I have a few friends with native blood, it is somewhat common in my area. I have one friend who is full Klamath and has a story that she paints into amazing pieces of art. She wants to tell her story and I am happy to listen. Having a degree in Anthropology, I am very curious as to the modern cultural behaviors that exist within the tribes and how they fit into the modern American society. So I ask questions. However, I usually let them bring it up before I start probing. I am aware that many don't feel very connected to that aspect of their heritage. But if they do, I would love to hear stories. But I am tired of the casino debate, so let's not talk about that.
4/4 Havasuapi from Arizona. I was never brought up with the tribe so I dont know their culture but I do speek the language very good I grew up in the city and dont know much about my tribe but my mom made sure I learned the language :) I've got my own kids now 7 kids!! :) And they dont know the language I guess I just never tought them.
Is it normal to think that most people dont like Native American??

You should teach them. Or you could teach me something. How would you say, "all is well" in Havasuapi?
