So your unkle was in a boarding school 50-60 years ago and you can't go on with your life?? My family was repressed by the english for 100's of years ( I am Irish) and I am pretty sure I got over it.

I work with a guy who is native american. 100% SHO/BANNOCK. His name is Gary. We call him Gary, not "Gary the native american". He is a pretty good guy and I know that being singled out as special or different insults him.

Whats your answer??? you must have something in mind ?? What would you like to see happen ?? Do you think Native Americans should have even more rights ??

With that I will stop posting on this thread. I don't want to get kicked off this board because I really enjoy reading it and I get a lot of good information from it. Like a few much smarter guys said right at the start.. this horse has been beat to death. I do hope you get over your "culture shock and reverberations" and the what not.
