Native American Culture

      This link refers to the Native Americans in today's culture. Many Native Americans today do not practice the many rituals that the Native Americans did back when they strived in our country. I think that it is sad that these tribes lost their roots. I feel that it is a shame that so many tribes got basically forced out of their culture, but even though I do not believe in the things they believe in I think it is important for them to know where they came from. I do agree that people without Native American ancestry should not try to pretend that they do. It is one thing to respect the culture and even have the same beliefs, but I do understand how some legitimate Native Americans could get upset and feel that they are being disrespected by some of these "wannabes".
