Caitlin Nelson - Indian Tribes Documentary

Watching this documentary made me feel really frustrated towards the people in it. I understand the debate over the fact that the land is not always going to be solely for the Native American, to an extent. But the people in the documentary were completely rude and selfish. They didn't even try to see it from anyone else's point of view but their own. just because the different tribes forms of church weren't like our traditional ones, doesnt mean it isnt religion. It was so frustrating seeing how narrow minded people are capable of being, as if something that doesn't fit into their box of how things should be, automatically is unimportant, wrong and stupid. I had a roommate very much like the people of these documentaries, a strict christian who saw things her way and her way only and had no love in her heart for people outside of her own faith. I think thats why this documentary fired me up so much, i reminded me of her. Close mindedness is such a bad thing, so much harm is done by those who are unwilling to see things from other points of view, who are so unwilling to open up their eyes to how beautifully unique so many cultures are - how they richen our lives.
