I’m 1/8 native american, and I was treated with great hostility by Navajos. Not certain re: rationale, but Blackfoot and Navajos seem very nasty.

That's the half-breed thing rearing it's head... Regarding Christianity, I have pretty good relations with Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Salish-Kootenai, and Gros Ventre peoples, and at least here, there are no troubles... Though my adherence to mainstream Christianity is somewhat eclectic, to be fair.

A bud of mine is a Standing Rock Lakota, and barely escaped with his hide from Navajos a while back. The idea that Indians are all one big happy oppressed minority, calling each other 'Bro' and holding hands in solidarity has always baffled me. Inter-tribal clobberin' going on, always has been, always will be. On the other hand, I have yet to visit a res. anywhere in North or South Dakota at least, where I wasn't treated like I owned the place. Especially Pine Ridge. And I'm as white-ass as they come.

The important thing here is the MSM weasel word Some in the title. That can mean 'one or so'. If it instead said 'most' or even 'a plurality', then I'd double check. 'Some' can be used to validate or condemn anything and everything, with little or no evidence.

I’m 100% native. I was born in Florida!
