Thanks, I didn't take the time to get all the info regarding her upbringing, so thanks for correcting me.

How to respond to or interpret those facts is up to the communities affected.

True. As a white dude I don't think my opinion is of any value on the subject. Seeing as her tribe doesn't seem to care, I'd tend to agree with them.
