I concur. I lived for 2-3 years on a rental property in the Seneca reservation in Salamanca, NY, as a wee lad when my parents were in between houses, and although I don't remember much, I remember not liking the town at all. I still cringe whenever I drive through. It has really gone downhill in just my short lifetime (21 yrs.).

Reading your story made an interesting counterpoint to some of my own experiences growing up in Durango, situated between two Ute reservations. I've never had a problem with a Ute over my kilt. Navajos from the reservations down in New Mexico and Arizona were another story. I'm glad to hear that you tend to have such good experiences where you're at Ron, but I've found that in general, Navajos are very nervous about anything that disturbs the status Quo.

I suppose there is bound to be the very occasional person who frowns on the idea of men in kilts - I think cultural differences play a big part. When I stayed in a Glasgow hotel last year one of the east european waiters expressed surprise that I intended to go outside the hotel in a kilt in winter time as he said it must feel very cold.
