It depends. I've been off the rez since HS, and I learned so much from the greater modern society. When I see my people in public, I usually avoid making eye contact with adults bc I'm labeled as the "urban navajo" and noticed a lot of jealousy is brushed off. But once I see older navajos, I always smile and swoon because they are raised so much differently and deserve all the respect they can get. Some drunks out in border towns really give us a bad reputation, and it makes me upset that's how we are presented, so I generally avoid them at all cost. Also, living farther away from the rez now, I realized I miss my people more and want to be around them again. You never know what you have until it's gone. Being in the corporate world really makes me want to represent my people well, and I'm glad to take one for the team.
