[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 185299, member: 35"] I became so excited when I read this that it is hard to know where to begin my reply. I will just jump in. It is probably a steep learning curve to understand how diverse the US really is. Reactions abroad admit to the country as "West" "secular" "materialist" "violent" "sexualized" and inclined toward "war-making." But even living in the states a lifetime does not guarantee anyone will fully appreciate the diversity here ... because the 50 states are in some ways nations within nations, and cultures unto themselves. On my first visit to Arizona I walked around in a daze. it seemed I had just opened my eyes and was in a place unlike any other state in the union.. a country unto itself. Without going into detail about this, all I want to say is that Arizona still refers to itself as the Arizona Republic. It is different there and proud to be different. It is made up of Anglos, immigrant Mexicans, ethnic Mexicans whose families have lived there from the times of the conquistadors, immigrant populations from Asia brand new, a huge influx of city dwellers from all over the US to the Tempe area, at least 3 Apache tribal peoples, Navaho, Zuni and Hopi and other pueblo peoples, and several other smaller native American groups. That is the cultural mix within which this debate is raging. Now imagine what the language and religious combinations must be like. The Navajo tribal reservation is as large as all the New England States and part of New York state. Though English and Navajo are spoken, so is Spanish. Some Navajo are Christian, and some are Mormon, and many adhere to their ancestral religion (which is eerily like Sikhism). There is a brisk traffic in preachers in old pick-up trucks raising tents and trying to bring who they can to the "church." All of the US states are just as complicated, but none are like Arizona. It is a country unto itself. So now having described the republic - may she prosper - some brief reactions. The tug of war is exhausting. For some R & R ? I would recommend a very well-run camp site on the Navajo Reservation ... in Arizona. BTW .. No alcohol is permitted. Neither is littering. Swearing and fighting can get you a visit by the tribal police. p/s Navajo creation does not begin with the "Great Spirit." A first cause is notably absent. A pine tree, insects and Coyote were there with the First People, even before First Man and First Woman appeared. Most native american creation stories do not begin with a Great Spirit. You only hear that in cowboy westerns. The Great Spirit is by and large a "western" thought. [/QUOTE]
