That would be like asking you what the settlers of the original colonies are like. Native Americans are as wide and varied, in belief, culture and conduct as your own peoples. Several Natives will fall into a few classifications, some are considered derogatory in nature, such as: * Pret-Indians, or Apples: normally used to denote someone claiming to be "Native American" but showing no signs of the cultural differences between the two. NOTE: These are very derogatory terms. * Modern Traditionalists: Those who try to maintain traditional teachings in concert with the modern world. * Traditionalists (AKA: Blanketasses, Derogatory) People who refuse to have anything to do with white society; at least at some level.
