Well said. My grandmother who belongs to the Six Nation Confederacy, Mohawk descent, taught to me to 'respect'all people.
She had a saying that has had a profound affect on my life and that is, "Never ridicule or make fun of other people. She said if you do, you'll be sorry." In around about way she said, 'What goes around, comes around.'
As a non-Christian, she said what Paul said at Romans 12:17, "Return evil for evil to no one..Do not avenge yourselves....for it is written: Vengeance is mine: I shall repay, says Jehovah."
I realize that the friends did not mock the Native peoples. Don't worry about me, I have a tough skin.
I'm glad to know that some of the friends recognize that there are still Native People around. Anyways I saw the smoke signals.
Keep the faith,
DK
