Not that different after all...

So today I am playing blocks with one of the Indian boys and we decide to build animals out of the blocks. I expect him to want to build animals like: Buffalo or Elk or Coyote. Instead, he was like: Giraffe, Elephant, etc. There were two things "Indian" about him: His longer hair and his shirt that said "Indian Pride." But in terms of mannerisms or language, I noticed nothing else. Some others said that the girls in the group were more passive, especially toward the boys, but I wonder 5-10 white kids in Suburbia if the same gender patterns would exist. A few boys were a "handful" but I think that exists in every culture...
