One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had while working in Indian Health is learning how fiercely patriotic the Native Americans can be. Every chapter house, or conference center owned by any tribe invariably has an area dedicated to members who have or are currently serving in the military. They love the United States, this is their land, and they can’t imagine not defending it. The over-arching attitude is that they let US — the white man — help them defend it. After years of working with the government, its so refreshing and encouraging to attend Native American gatherings where attendees are not afraid to open meetings with the pledge, and also with prayer. I love it.
