Gordon,
Hopefully, you will be better received than I. Once, in a meeting with the Taos Pueblo council, we were discussing their love for their ancestral lands. I related a personal feeling of loss for Scotland and its mountains since my forefathers were exiled at the end of the '45. They looked at me with some disdain and were mildly insulted that I would try to draw a parallel between their history and mine! To be fair, we were opening what was known to be a fairly controversial meeting and I was trying to find some common ground to start. Even though Taos Pueblo is well-known for their usually polite nature, they were having none of my drivel!
