Native American Regalia: Common Assumptions Unpacked

By Steven Reed


The native American culture is one that needs to be embraced throughout the world. Although there are some that have their concerns, in this day and age, things are so modern that there should never be an opportunity to hold grudges and miss out on the beauty. These are some of those native American regalia.

One of the reasons why so many people are against getting to know the ethos is mainly because the people are known to be lazy. Not just lazy as in laying around but it is sometimes as though there is no motive. So, they would rather repeat a class a few times than to study and pass it the first time. They are regularly failing classes.

They receive benefits that no one else does. This is the most untrue statement to make. Yes, they do receive benefits but so does everyone else. Single mothers, veterans, pensioners and others also do. This also goes way back into a time where the governments made arrangements to offer them education and more, in return for their land. This has nothing to do with the people.

If you enter the home of any of them, you will be surrounded by ornaments and spiritual items. But everyone has this. If in your home, you have a picture of the God that you believe in, it is exactly the same thing. Keep in mind that many people also took over their parent s homes and learned from them about what is important which is why they are happy to keep this visible but it is not on every single step.

Telling stories is something that they are known for. Some may be true and some are ancient fairy tales that they were told by their parents and grandparents. Regardless, this is actually quite beautiful, especially since in this day and age, kids are taught to watch movies on an iPad rather than going back to the basics and having their parents tell them a story.

The need to have a drink now and then is there for every single ethos, unless of course, you don t drink in general. This community is known to have a bit more than usual and perhaps this is true, but you won t find anything out of the ordinary. They are not drinking with every meal day in and day out and you won t be faced with drunken people when you come across them.

Being different is something that others tend to shun because they don t know how to do the same. They stick to what they believe in and it doesn t matter what others say about them.

With a little research, you can learn a lot more about them as well as what you can do to not offend them but rather, become more knowledgeable. The one mistake that many makes are that they tend to speak in a past tense. They always reference what has happened back then instead of focusing in the now.
