Living here in MOntana I have yet to see those signs some oe want to tell me where the found this info?
i have the chancee to see both sides or 3 sides as a white as a sibling to a Native american and as third party. My brother is full Blooded Courdaline(spelling bad) from Idaho its a companation Flathead and Salish Kootni . He was raised in our home for this example as a white , when he found his bio parents he had been regerstered with the tribe and was afull blood. He decided to live on the res with his kids. As in all cultures they live and think differently, one think (which was not hard for my brother to accept) was the family bed all sleeping together until kids are 6-7 years old.
They thing that bothered him and still does is the lack of parenting skills its just let them run and when it bothers some one they disapline the child. Way wrong as to our familys thinking. Also no really punishments when doing wrong, My nephew got caught with pot at school, they suspended him for3 days(great he hates school any way)some punishment. My brother insisted they give him some kingd of community service if nothing else.(that turned out to be good cuz he found a job the liked and was hired on permently. ) But Its nothing to find 8-9 kids flaked out on his floor in the morning parents having no clue where they are. And worst of all don't seem to care.
My brother and his bio dad and Brothers new girl freind white with a 1/2 blood daughter are working to get parenting in to schools and the clinic where she works.
A;so trying to set up a fund for the kids to save for colleges and incuring them to apply them selves in school to improve their lives.
It's nothing to see a 7 year old getting $50 of his government check for a weekend at the arcade in the casino as mom and dad gamble theres away. Very disturbing .
I am proud of my brother fortrying to help his people find their way again.
