Some people assume Jason Thunderbird prays to eagles. Others are convinced he worships rocks. They seem disappointed, he said, when they learn he spends Sunday mornings reciting liturgical texts from a church pew.

Native American spiritual practices are the source of countless misconceptions, he said. Mainstream society has long viewed American Indians as disciples of Mother Earth, but "all the stereotypical stuff you saw on John Wayne is not real."

"I'm a follower of Jesus Christ," he told Minnesota Public Radio (http://bit.ly/1j5TVIY). "That's kinda what it boils down to, you know."

For America's indigenous people, late 19th century Christianity meant forced assimilation and cultural domination.

I despise Christianity for its insistent determination to destroy other cultures.

You do know that everyone in modern western soceity totally benfits from the destruction of all of the cultures that came before them right? If you didn't know that, now you do. It's not like there was a priviso in all of the preceeding cultures to perserve our culture. That being the case you do understand that the perservation of other people's culture is almost uniquely a western concept? All other cultures look to assimilate. With that in mind doesn't it make you look alittle more douchey for condemning the soceity (and how it got here) that allows (provides you the freedom) you to condemn it?
