Anonymous asked:
do you think there is a stigma against some tribes to another? like feuds between say Navajos and Hopis or between the Shoshoni groups? what tribe are you and do you see anything like that happening with your tribe or surrounding tribes/groups/bands?

Honestly yes, I think there is still some tension between tribes. The Navajo’s and the Hopi’s is a perfect example because they continued to have land disputes into the 90s. So personally, I feel that there is still old tension between tribes out there, but it is dying out. I don’t notice anything like that in my tribe. But things like that mainly lie within my parents or grandparents generations.

I think my generation is just so effected by our history, and the shrinking numbers in our community, that we just look for other Natives, no matter what band or tribe, to feel that we’re not alone. To know that there’s more people like us out there, though some times they be few and far between. So we tend to let things like that go more, than the ones who came before us, because we just look for other Natives to identify with and befriend.
