Your post is incredibly enlightening and honest. Being of Native American ancestry myself, I am grateful for your words and views. One cannot just "take up" the culture as if it has been ingrained since birth...a way of life. Even I cannot make these claims or "live this life". It may be in my blood, but I was NOT born to it. I don't have the years of "living it" to fully comprehend. <br /><br />"Playing Indian"...what a fitting phrase.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07723368404911817023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786474119988979465.post-32672021499490682442011-06-24T08:53:46.917-04:002011-06-24T08:53:46.917-04:00Awesome post, I couldn't agree more on both th...Awesome post, I couldn't agree more on both that James Ray is a psycho and I'm glad he will no longer be in the capacity to hurt others and also on the bastardizing use of Native American traditions.
