There's a long running (century old) joke among First Nations people about everyone having their own personal anthropologist. It's a way to ease the pain of having scientists poke and prod into every little aspect of Natives personal lives and culture. When everything is taken from you, your women are sterilized (or just plain go missing), and every aspect of your life is examined & analyzed.. you tend to not trust white men, the government, or scientists. And you are generally correct, science is incompatable with First Nations culture & society. Though that is changing somewhat with all the people who were forceably (& coerced) into moving away from the reservations to the city. There are also more young Natives going to college now. Though those young educated Natives are not going to go back home and teach their 90 y/o matriarch to trust the white man..
