Like some of the others I also am proud of my Indian (Creek) heritage. Unfortunately, one cannot always tell of their feelings of pride for the ridicule that is bound to be handed out from those who think otherwise. It was the same for me when I proudly served in the Navy 1971-1976 and couldn't where my uniform in the states because of the hatred our citizens (not all) held for the armed forces.
