What an unexpected find! As a Jew who was engaged to a Chiricahua, I was amazed by how many of our values and beliefs paralleled. I always had indigenous friends. My first best friend 45 years ago was Didi Lonewolf...and she was suddenly taken from me due to the horrors still existing in the 1970s. To this day, both the fetishizing and the ignorance of these nations astound me. Two of my closest friends are both Jewish and Native American. They honor both parts of their heritage. One is not mutually exclusive to the other...though if you are observant Jew, there are things that take precidence over the native culture. It's beautiful to see both walk hand in hand.
