  1. I have only one thing to dispute and that's the emotional reaction. Many of our Native people who were raised on the reservations may not display the classic emotional reactions that the majority society has. Some of us are raised to hide emotions, especially the boarding school generation.
    When my sister was murdered by her acquaintances while out partying, my dad did not react. He stayed calm. To this day, he has not lost this veneer. Yes, of course he was grieving.
    He did cry later on.
    The initial stages were of shock and denial, and that's probably what the foster parents felt when the two kids were discovered dead and injured, but they reacted for themselves and the blood that is staining their hands. Even if the crime was committed by someone else, the culture of silence surrounding murder in general needs to go away. I know what it's like to be the one receiving bad news.
    Just saying that not all emotional reactions are typical.
    That's all I have to say. Aho.
