  • A work in progress

    What is best for Native American cultures at this point?  This type of decision should come from within the tribes.  Outsiders can only wish ideas upon them.  What is a tribe or individually wanting to do?  Do they want to be a part of the larger society or do they want to withdraw into their own areas as sovereign nations. 

    I believe that a person/tribe can maintain traditional ways of being as well as living with in the modern technological environment.  Who wants to give up the modern conveniences that we have gotten used to and rely upon.  However, does modernization own us or do we make use of it in thoughtful ways?  Do we show others by the way we incorporate our traditions and beliefs into our daily life, that which is good that everyone can share in?

     

    Lost my train of thought.  I will be back to this soon.
