#native American Pride

The warrior you're looking at, is Sergeant , Billy Walks About, one of the most decorated Warriors in the Vietnam War. Sergeant Walks About was awarded 1 distinguished service cross, 5 silver stars, 10 bronze Stars, and 6 purple hearts. Native tribes send more of their young men and women into battle more than any other race in the United States.

Indigenous folks, ex-christians & anyone who's knowledgeable on social issues, I have two questions that have bothered me for a long while and I believe y'all might know how to answer them.

The question: I read a webcomic about community A living on an island along with another community B with different culture & beliefs from them. Community A believes that their culture & religion are the correct ones and that members of community B are dooming themselves to eternal damnation (in a religious sense) if they don't adopt the beliefs & practices of community A.

I saw someone talking about the comic in its comment section, saying that one of the characters who's a member of community B is selfish for not adopting the burial practices from community A's religion, because according to that someone, not burying their loved one like community A believes is correct is " potentially dooming their loved one to eternal damnation".

If you're indigenous, has rhetoric / talking points like this been used against your own religious / cultural practices? Could you give any concrete examples?

If you have religious trauma / are ex christian of any kind, have people used talking points like this to guilt trip, to frighten, or to shame you into obeying religious rules? (People belonging to other religions than christianity are welcome to give their perspectives as well!)

seen lots of post about Thanksgiving and I wanna make a little online “table” of sorts. I would like to invite black women/men who fought for good, the LGBTQIA+ community, the people with disabilities, the neurodivergent community, Native Americans, Muslims, and everyone not yet mentioned who isn’t a terf, homophobe, racist, MAGA supporter, and/or cult member.

So, if you would like to, add yourself to the table!
