44. Your ethnocentrism is astounding!

You belong to a culture that dictates forward-thinking. That's fine, as long as your culture doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

American Indian culture emphasizes the past. That is why this is an issue to them, and a valid issue. It may be "nonsense" to you, but it is NOT to them. They are concerned with "the dead and buried," and their traditional values reflect that. Who are you to tell them that that is "nonsense?"
