Looking for a post
Joyce Fetteroll
Does anyone remember someone described how her husband, who was Native
American, coached her on what to expect when she met his relatives for
the first time? He described their customs for her. And the point was
that he wasn't teaching or telling her what to do but giving her the
information she could draw on to make courteous choices.
I'm pretty sure it was here on Always Learning but I could be wrong.
Anyway I seem to have exhausted the keywords that I can think of that
might relate to it.

I remember writing about customs in India and people coaching those who would be meeting parents and grandparents. Not sure whether it was here on at famiyRUNning or facebook.
Might it have been that confusion of "indian"?

I do remember. Someone from Laguna Pueblo, maybe? A family that was at Good Vibrations in San Diego, perhaps.
Maybe search for pueblo.

Unschooling.info which is how you saw it.
Here's the post incase I piqued anyone's curiosity:

My husband is part Laguna Pueblo Indian (New Mexico). Before the
first time I
met my husband's extended family, my husband explained the customs and
"different" things I'd see. He wasn't trying to play "teacher", he
wanted to me
to be prepared so that my visit would be pleasant.
I had a wonderful visit with his family and after we left I asked lots
of
questions. Each time I went back, I had a better understanding of
what was
going on and his family was very accepting of me.
I keep that experience in mind when I introduce Megan to new things.
What are
the customs? What will most of the other people be doing? Most
schooled kids
are trained very early how to sit quietly in a group. Megan started
taking
Taekwondo lessons right before her seventh birthday. Remembering to
raise her
hand to talk took a week or so because it was new for her.
