many *Indians* who make a life for themselves and family out-side The Rez
(off reservation)..here in the stolen land calling itself "canada"...MIGHT
be considered by SOME...as being "sell-outs"
However..your qusetions falls within a defined category which makes this
Indian ask.."why would you ask?"

It's just that many blacks criticize black celebrities whom they think
are "performing white." They call it "selling out."
E.g., the legendary rock 'n' roll artist Chuck Berry.
Ol' Chuck cries about it .... all the way to the bank.
Then I won't be able to see your response.

The "guy at Iwo Jima" was a Pima named Ira Hayes, now buried at
Arlington Nat'l Cemetery.

If your interest is sincere, there is a wonderful book called "Flags
of Our Fathers" by James Bradley that talks exactly about the people,
and their stories, "behind the immortal photograph."

My original post simply asked whether Indians who succeed in the
mainstream world, especially mainstream pop culture, are viewed by
Indians in general as "selling out." Before your time, Kay Starr was
a white bread pop artist who was very big, and would have been even
bigger except that rock 'n' roll came along.
My point to you is that all the men who fought against the Axis were
heroes, not just the American Indians.

While my Father and two of his brothers was over in Europe fighting for *our
rights* to freedom and liberty here..the canadian government of the day,
took our small reservation and moved The People to another
reservation..telling them..that when hostile activities ceased ..*they*
could have their land back.
We were informed a year and a half ago..that *hostile activities have ceased
in Europe*..but it would take another twenty or so years to clean up the
mess left behind by the occupying forces of canada.
My Father is my Hero...and so are his two brothers...

I cannot tell you anything in general about what NDNs think. There are
traditionalists in my family, as well as highly-assimilated people.
Among my family, people who enjoy success by their own standards are
generally admired, whether in the greater "whitebread" world or
elsewhere.
