- A problme or a thing that I have noticed, atleast here in Nome is the problme
- of Cultural as well as Genetic degredation (maybe not the right word),
- basically that alot of local Eskimos seem to want to become "white", dress
- white, look white and date whites.. Also they try to not speak their native
- tongue(s)..To worship white gods. Also do "white man" drugs (alcohol, coke,
- marijuana(?). Also they have children with whites (Im speaking of women)...
- Its an interesting thing to see.. Im guilty of helping at times, I like women.
- Im mostly white (15/16th if I can believe my dad)..
-
- Seems like kids here need to havea reason to keep their culture, other than
- the subsistance value and for membership in the local native corps..
