First of all, this is not meant to be racist in ANY way, I SWEAR !!! I'm about half Native American, part Scottish & part French, so if I was racist, I'd have to hate myself !
It seems to me that Native Americans and African Americans are similar, in that a big part of their native cultures and beliefs involve music & dancing. Cermonies, holidays, etc.
So my question is, just about anyone can name a famous African American singer, dancer, or actor, but there are relatively few Native American singers or dancers that are well known outside of their communities. I'm curious, why ?
Is it because Native Americans condsider these things sacred & don't care to share them with the outside world ? Would they consider that "selling out" ?
I really would like to know. Obviously, I'm mainly looking for answers from Native Americans.
