Fake education, fake salary, now fake Native Americans? (5)
Some, like us buckskinners, emulate the Indians of the past. We adopt clothing styles, ways of living and beliefs. We do it because we value the contributions the Indians made to this country. And like the ideals and simplicity and family values they have.
But, we do not pretend to be Indians. We are adoptees of aspects of their culture because we see value in it. The fact that someone who lacks a drop of native blood, of ANY race or culture, pretends to be a member is either trying to get attention, votes, stipend or something.
There are aspects of many cultures and such that offer something a persons own doesn't. To meet their needs they adopt into another. Wishing is not achieving, just like the alphabet group is doing.
So a person thinks they have no value and if they say untruths, they gain value as a member of some group. Sad.

I have been under the impression that "Native Americans" aren't pretending to be Amerinds but are foreigners pretending to be in the US who don't know enough English to know "native American" doesn't mean born here.
That’s the reason it’s call scammers

In the 1980's I attended a Seneca Gatchee held by Twyla Nitsch ( spelling) a Medicine woman and college professor. We were invited after the Medicine wheel christening ceremony at Lillydale NY.
Hundreds or people, it was also a Dowser get together. But the Germans really caught me off guard. I'm not sure if they married into the clan or were actually part blooded.

But worst was the fake Native Americans.
They can't name tribe or clan.
