Great post. I have a friend who works with highly educated “Native Americans” as part of her job. A more self-absorbed, easily-insulted group of men and women you could not imagine. When she showed them a little drum she had bought on a reservation somewhere in the West, they wanted her fired. She had - in some oblique, unknown way - insulted them yet again!
The little drum sits over her fireplace. Every time we see it my husband, her husband and I take the mickey out of her.

A corollary to this is lib animal activists getting their knickers in a twist every time someone is killed by a wild animal in the actual wild. Supposedly we’re in “their” territory, and deserve whatever we get. For the record, man has always been in “their” territory, and then we’ve made it “our” territory. Whatever territory we can adapt to living in is our territory and not just some wild animal’s.
