Describe a group you self-identify with. does this sense of identity provide you with a sense of pride, or does it distance you from other groups?

Just as an example of many groups I may identify with, I definitely feel an attraction to the First Nations people in Canada and elsewhere. I think it is because of their long and interesting history in the Americas and the ones who first learned to live in is this sometimes inhospitable environment. Also, and related to this is their close ties to the natural world and respectful relationship to the land and water and their spirituality and belief in ceremony which I think is a way of showing respect and appreciation for ones surroundings.
