Asexualgirl, if I may and no disrespect, there is a way that we talk and converse with the younger members of our families as we pass on what knowledge that we have obtained through our many years, but that in no mean keeps them from asking questions or keeping silent, it's quite the opposite, we encourage the questions because that's the only way you can learn, that is to ask questions and we as the elders try to answer those questions the best that we can and we are always open to new ideas, so you see in that respect the learning goes both ways. Now I can't speak for all native cultures but this is the way I was taught and this is the way that I teach.
Thanks for the answer. They was some sioux-dakota-lakota-nakota people.
Is that "way to talk" cultural secred or are you interest to tell something about it?

The common talk amongst the members of the different families is not sacred, it is the language of the people and to somebody who is from outside they may not understand what is being said. The sacred talk comes from the Spiritual Elders, those that communicate with the Creator and preside over the sacred ceremonies and that kind of talk even some members of the family don't understand. Now I must tell you that different tribal nations have their own language, there are some similarities from one nation to the next, but unless you really understand at least one of those languages it would be very difficult for you to understand the other's. You know it might be interesting for you to learn one of those languages and it's really not that hard, you just have to take the time to do it.
