Tue. 1/24 11a: An online opinion piece by a Native writer states that Natives who are comfortable with oppression and have embraced assimilation suffer from one of two diseases; apathy or egoism. She states that Indians either don't put forth the effort to preserve their culture or they are "Super Native" and have a twisted definition of tradition and respect. 

Do you consider yourself an apathoid or an egothoid?
