It is just that people outside Europe (including Amerinds) and Europeans themselves consider themselves as a “white race”.

But the original – Mesolithic Europeans weren’t:

There is this thing – it is not racism as such, but what should one call it … “white dignity”, or “red dignity” - which keeps blacks at arm’s length.
Amerinds, the ones I have known, who made 'Straya' their home had this too, which I still cannot understand.

A Tribe Called Red - "R.E.D." – in this regard – to me is an ‘odd note’ – but a very welcome one. Makes me respect them more:

I imagine what you refer to as dignity is more of a survival technique.
Or "Collective identity".
I also imagine that it may have to do with stereotyping.
It maybe as simple as black or darkness is scary or evil and gets a bad rap.
Where white gets a good or holy, purity stereotype.

I am only guessing. I really don't know.

Yeah, I think you described “white dignity”.
Since I don’t have it, I can’t really understand it. It just feels a bit like a ‘fence’, one is not to go outside of.

But “red dignity” – when obviously there is interest, commonality and understanding on deeper levels.
Perhaps they know, they would be ‘owned’… ‘adopted’ in a heartbeat, which would set up an expectation to become involved and they know this involvement only too well from their own tribal communities - how it can get …..

This young man would be bonded for life … next too I would imagine ...

I don't worry about skin pigment "melanin" so much.
I analyze Love and fear in people and myself.
One being a uniter and the other a divider.

Ran across this article and thought it might interest you.
It may not and that is fine, but it is HERE for reference.

Here is a sentence to entice you or not.Since it is not a quick read.

It is the initiations by Spirit that make a shaman not initiations by humans.

Didn't know Ireland had a sweat-lodge tradition!

Here some similar structures from Saamiland:
