I acknowledge your opinions and thoughts, PitBull.

Customs and traditions are a hard thing to understand if we don't have the capacity for understanding. Less than 100 years have passed since my tribal people were persecuted by the colonials, and westernised. Religion was forced upon the Natives as a way of bringing the heathens into line.

But that was in the past, as with many atrocities that can be attributed to all countries.....America, Sth Africa, China, Serbia.

I continue to look for the positives, because for me, if I live in the past, then it makes it so hard for me to look to the future.

Again, I appreciate your thoughts.
