a can of worms for me. i am native american, was adopted by white folks, there are many positives and negatives with me.....on one hand: i didn't get to grow up "native" learning my culture, language, ways of life, spearing, netting,..................on the other: both my parents were teachers and taught me the "proper" way to speak...." john and i went................." the two most important words ( i think ) " please" and " thank you "..............opening doors for women......being respectful of your elders and other people in positions of authority.......of course some times they had to beat it into me....but i learned.....slowly i learned my culture...have gone spearing and netting.....so i guess i don't have too much to complain about.....but i do wish i grew up native.....and yes, there's still time. that is all i have to say.
