[QUOTE="FiveStar, post: 1327065, member: 603998"] Maybe the people who actually study and teach Native American history, or people who live within the culture growing up with customs, traditions, folklore, etc? Then they can give us correct portrayals, depictions, stories and glimpses into Native American culture, not the whitewashed view we're used to? For example, they could explain why the words "Pow wow the Indian boy" could be/is offensive (or not). Or, they can tell you if/how they feel insulted (or not) when they hear students say "this is the Indian song" to a beat that is supposed to be, but may not be representative or respective of their culture. Again, I don't care either way, but the answers to all these questions are not hard to find. [/QUOTE]
