would me dancing around in cammy loin cloth be accepted as native american pride?

If in doubt, do without.

I'm 3/4 Ojibwe tribe, 1/4 French Canadian.  I've never been registered, though I've been requested to do so.\nMy reason...I want to teach my daughter to make her own way in this world, not to rely on any government entity, solely based on her heritage.\nOur wars were fought, and lost.  To the victor go the spoils.\n\nThat being said, when my daughter and I attend baseball games, and they sing the National Anthem, I still get tears in my eyes, because I can feel how Francis Scott Key felt when he penned those immortal words.\nI take pride in America.  I wouldn't live anywhere else on this planet.\n\nAmerican Indians can still practice their tribe's religious beliefs without accepting government money.  Isn't that what "independence" is supposed to be all about?\n\np.s. If you still want to register, check with your local Bureau of Indian Affairs Office.

I am getting married in three weeks, and I would not be offended. I think as long as you do not wear solid white you would be fine. And it's the lower half and would certainly not be that obvious. I would assume also, that the bride would have more going on that day, than to really notice what color your skirt is.

I think it is wonderful your friend wants to wear a sari for a Christmas dinner. Not only is it completely appropriate, but could even be perceived by some to be charming (think about a Scottish man wearing a traditional kilt - this is viewed as charming my many). It is vital that we remember to appreciate cultural traditions for peoples who now live in America. What better time to do this than at the holidays!

Yes, you should. And while you're at it you should protest against those dirty perverts who dress using mixed fabrics

As long as you add a smile and not a veil and handkerchief to you outfit I don't think anybody will be offended.  I think it is worse when people pick something that total clashed with the wedding colors.  Red was the color at our wedding and my Mother in law wore a teal green dress that was hideous.  I'm sure your happiness with out shine anything you have on!

Doesn't bother me one bit. Just thought you were making a fashion statement, looks fine to me. Why would anybody think you are being disrespectful or whatever, to me you should be able to wear what you want and when you want to, that is what freedom is all about is it not?

I would think that it would be illegal to do that to you.  It is a form of discrimination.  I would definately contact an attorney, and at least see what they have to say.  Then if you have many crossdressing friends, I would have a huge gathering at that very resturant, and order the cheapest thing on the menu and drink only water.  I know that, this doesn't exactly advance our cause of being accepted in society, but it sure would be fun.  Unfortunattely there are bigots out there, and we have to deal with them cause we are different, but that doesn't make us any less human.  I wish you luck in whatever you decide, you have more courage than many of us.

You have a hole in your bucket.  Native American philosophy worships and respects the earth, beauty, life, and death, but you wouldn't accept it because it isn't EXACTLY what you believe.  You have presented no meaningful criteria.  I like all that stuff too, and it is more beautiful and amazing without being a product of a personality.

Congratulations!  Study on your Native Indian status.  YOU have rights to all kinds of things that most Americans only dream of and rightly so.\n\nTake Care

If it were possible.. I'd be carved out of amber. I love the different hues and oddities in it- rich but natural.I'd be placed at the highest point in EL YUNQUE-the rainforest in Puerto Rico.My expression would be proud yet humbled before god, compassionate and yet a hint of sadness for my People as we have lost our way through integration and lost our land through colonization.I'd be wearing next to nothing -a sort of slip that TAINO indian women wore.

I Agree with you all the way! This is your home Now. You came here! Your heritage is cool.  Just remember where you are NOW!

It depends on the beliefs that you follow.  You could contact a church to do it.  Or if you do not go to church, you might consult a Native American to come in and do it for you, if there are any Native Americans in your area.

No there is nothing wrong with it. Its just who you are. Just like rockers show and dress like they lke rock and the same with rappers. If thats what you like than wear it. Plus no one will truly know unless you show them how gay you are and then they might even aproach you

I absolutely think it is necessary and possible. Not that it would make things feel any better, but I think it is deserved. The least the US Federal Government could do is acknowledge their wrong-doing in this area, and try to help mend the current hardships that Native Americans are facing. Many of my ancestors were Native Americans, and I feel like they are forgotten about. We hear so much about slavery and making things right for the black man (not that it is undeserved) but what about Native Americans? I think it is time.

Probably not, unless that is the sort of clothes everyone else is wearing.  I'd stick with something a little quieter and more conservative.
