In Minnesota it's about fishing, white people assume natives are overfishing, they're jealous of native fishing rights. I think all Native Minnesotans regardless of tribe have some sort of prejudice against white people, I'll be honest, I do, I don't represent Indians, most of my friends are white, all of them are a little racist. I just try to love and accept, but it does bother me deep down that it may be that unless you come from a multicultural background, you are more likely to be racist. So I don't see my values reflected by my peers. Some people who are white aren't racist, like Bernie, but I guess he's Jewish so he's not really white. Honestly a lot of white people i know are really uncomfortable with the fact that I'm part indian. Idk why. So for the Blackfoot region, it's probably just xenophobia for whatever factors, or something having to do with environmental protection. I know some people don't like all the protesting the haudenosaunee have done in Canada and the Pacific Northwest region protests against land use. Why are people racist to begin with? I think that's your real question. I'm slightly racist against Germans, and it's because of my experiences and world war 2. However, almost all of my friends are German. It does frustrate me when they're a little bit biased or ignorant or racist on some level, but at the end of the day we are friends and that's the way I will always want it to be. I'm writing this to expose the truth of prejudice.
