[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 495043, member: 11791"] This isn't "stupidity" anymore - its culture clash. I have deep respect for First Nations cultures, but... their whole mindset toward property is so far removed from common culture that there is bound to be a clash. And when Tony says that you don't understand "family" and "siblings"? Again, its a culture clash. Its not because he grew up with siblings and you didn't... its because he grew up with First Nations culture about these things, and you didn't. The whole baseline of what the world is and how it works and the meaning of "stuff" (from land and houses, to food and family keepsakes...) is different. For all of us, as we get older, we revert more to our "source" culture(s). I know that as husband gets older, he will get less Canadian and more European... and I'll become even more Canadian. Its such a tough situation. No words of wisdom about what to do... that has to come from you. [/QUOTE]
