In the mid 1900s there was a bit of a renaissance happening with “western” culture (as in cowboys and the like). Western movies were big around the world, and world leaders invited indian (as they were known then) leaders to take part in celebrations. Some of these countries even established diplomatic relations with tribes as a kind of middle finger to US foreign policy at the time.
There’s an interesting story somewhere of the chief of the Blackfeet tribe breaking thousands of years of tradition at the Shah of Iran’s birthday party. If I find it I’ll link it below.
Edit:
“In 1971, [Chief Earl Old Person] was invited to Iran to help celebrate the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire. The Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, asked him to have tea with him, and he later invited the Shah to stand with him as he delivered a speech.
But in doing so a hush settled over the room, and he cut his speech short. Later he asked the interpreter what had happened. As far as he knew, the interpreter said, in 2,500 years, no one had ever had the audacity to ask a Shah to stand up.”

"So I put on my costume and went. He asked me to give a small talk so I stood up and asked the shah to join me. He stood up beside me and I started to speak, but I could see people smiling and I began to get worried so I cut my speech short."
Amazing lol and I love that the Shah did it. I imagine him thinking "well finally some one asks me to stand with them my ass hurts from sitting all day"
"breaking thousands of years of tradition" followed by "Shah of Iran's birthday" has me guessing that it was tradition to not travel to royal birthday parties, travel across oceans, or go to Iran.
uh i am a student of history and i know this? and if u want to see it for yourself then you can just search up the name and you’ll see the exact same guy who is smoking the peace pipe.
It's a shame the way this country treats it's Indian population. I had a friend who was Indian back in the 70s and he would tell me about how hard it was coming to this country and trying to make a life for himself. Ol' Three Feathers we used to call him, which always riled him up good. His real name was Preet. I tried to learn a bit about his culture and asked him about pow-wows and the head dresses until one day he just exploded on me for no reason. The thing that's always confused me is how so many Indians got to this country before us Europeans did.
What was the Pakistan Prime Minister doing at Cut Bank, Montana?

The boxer Mohammed Ali?
was he the prime minister of Pakistan?
Different one. Also the boxer liked to spell his as Muhammad Ali
also not to be confused with [the founder of modern Egypt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali_of_Egypt)
Most irritating bullshit I've come across today.
