Blog 17

By the end of the conversation, the person conversing with the Native American may have learned a lot about them. He may have learned that Native Americans aren't just some stereotypical people who live in tepees and dance for rain. They are people, just like everyone else, especially in the modern world. The stranger could, however, have done a better job at inquiring the Native American. He could have not for one spontaneously asked if he was Chinese. He could also not have made so many assumptions and come off as unintelligent in the way he awkwardly went off in some areas, like nature and mother earth. He could have not begun to brag about how he or the people he knew were Indian or tried to relate himself to the Native Americans. He could have simply asked questions about culture, food, customs, and what it's like modern day.
