My kids are treaty native. My ex was native. I learned my lesson, but still paying for it. When she wanted to make me suffer, and prevent me from being a father, she used the race card. Other then being born on a reserve, she never lived there. In fact she was raised by a good Ukrainian family. But as I have been told by many people, you can take the native from the reserve, but you can't take the reserve from the native. In her case, that is somewhat true. She is not a substance abuser, but she definitely has an entitlement complex, which is often the case with many from the reserve.
I may sound like a racist with this post, but as my lawyer pointed out to the courts, I am far from a racist, since I married a native woman, and I wanted to continue to raise my children. I have never talked badly about their culture, but am very good at pointing out what their culture is, not what it has become. Too many natives have forgot that.
