Quintessentially and Peacefully.

So, there is the story of the Pueblo Indian that was beaten to death by a Catholic priest.  The Indian received the message of Christ and said his people had a similar understanding as outlined in Genesis 1 and 2 and also John 1.  The Indian returned to say he thanked God for a bountiful crop. It was bountiful and the Priest beat him to say he must not thank God but do the forms; the cross over his heart and his head.  It was a sad day in spite of the  bountiful crop.  Somebody thinks that native people are to kill themselves for white or Catholic approval.  But, there is no such identity as "white" without genetic hybridization or mixed race dna.  If I was "white" in the reality of genetic hybridization, I would rather say I am American even if I was a white native since all of the Western hemisphere is nartive and if you don't acknowledge this, the world suffers global wars.  The domestic quiet of the 1970's in America was occasioned by this realization of a quintessentially native identity regardless of complexion.
