Community and family are important aspects in people's life because they shape that person into who they are. If you take these away, they are left with a sense of emptiness and they go through their life trying to find something that fills that hole. Life is already difficult enough for most people, having them have a strong base they can rely on helps them through tough times. When I go through tough times I talk to my friends because they understand me. Having the same interests and backgrounds can bring people together.
We have started to lose our indigenous identity and become more like other races. Not just only the whites but from cultures around the world.. In essence we are copying a copy because as tribes of North America, the people that came here take from other cultures. But they prioritized money and power over anything else. We should be trying to encourage the teachings of our tribes so that we don’t become extinct. Other places around the world already think that we don’t exist so we have to make sure that doesn’t become reality.I’m also guilty of not learning my culture and over the years of going to school here I've realised how important it is. I always feel weird saying I’m Native American because of my skin color and lack of knowledge about my tribe.
