I don't know much about Native American culture, being Australian I do know more about our own "native" culture though.
It's great you're looking at another culture but remember this; with any culture there are good and bad things. Don't be blinded by a fascination with the exotic elements, the new and different. Look at it all critically, especially if you can look at it without basing your judgement on your own culture. I love parts of Chinese and Japanese culture, but I am well aware of key fundamental flaws in both.
As for your rolemodel comment it's true. People take people like music pop-stars, celebrities and sports stars as models when the truth is they aren't fit to fill that position. To be a good role model requires a lot of maturity and patience.
It's good to hear from you again. I wonder where you go to! (I am fully aware of how hypocritical this is given my own posting habits)
First time I heard from you on here, glad to see your still among the living :)
I heard you on the money issues, heck don't feel bad. I got laid off of my previous job just because of this rotten economy, so i'm on unemployment and all the jobs I want I have responded to but no reply. Though I was able to obtain unemployment and funny that it paids better then my job. I don't want to live off of it (though it will fund my way to Baltimore) Just keep your head up i'm sure your bound to pull through it.
P.S. good luck with the culture thing. It's sound pretty cool what you are doing and all. I know you been pursuring it since I first met you, and you always been awesome, just sucks we live states apart, anyways you need anything man, you know where to find me! Peace!
