Wow, I really appreciate you offering such a different perspective (never been to Alaska!). I have some Navaho relatives on and off reservations in the Southwest, so I'm somewhat familiar with the dynamic your talking about specifically, but, yes, generally, you get what you're looking for in life. Maybe similar to you, I walk as comfortably in the black world as the white and the most important thing, to me, is to assume the best about people, until proven otherwise. I've been rewarded 1000 times over with that perspective, and never hurt by it, so far as I know.
