I feel completly lost. I found some Indian friends who took me to their rez and I felt well...sorta out of place. They where very nice to me and treated me well.
The strange thing is that I have more questions leaving then when I was there. My biggest question is how do you keep a low key if you are white visiting an Indian reservation?

how about you just do what you do when you visit anyone? sure there's this big cultural difference. so? enjoy the company of friendship and just let things be. you may learn a lot.

It's wonderful if you can break the barrier in any culture, learn some of their language, stay away from the drunks and try to understand their wonderful beliefs, which are so peaceful when it comes to personal life.
I think I would love to spend time with an old Indian somewhere out in the desert, if he could trust me enough to tell me stories, which they still remember.
Two of my favourite films are - Little Big Man with Dustin Hoffman and Dances with Wolves with Kevin Costner.
But, then again, maybe I'm just an incurable romantic and white can never really meet red?

ask them about themselves, and ask about their family traditions, for example what they eat during special occasions, when and how they hold celebrations, and favorite pass times they enjoy.
