In my experience, the notion of someone from a different area dictating to others how things should be ran on lands they are not originally from is typically rejected in NDN Country. Though there are likely some exceptions we can all come up with to this situation, I feel it is generally true that locals have priority over discussions on relevant matters. I also feel that if you live somewhere other than your ancestral lands, it would behoove you to learn of and respect the customs of the local area and, of course, recognize whose land you're on.

However, I'm curious what Natives here think of this as this pertains to other Natives who live away from their traditional homelands and live in areas that they/their family/their people are not originally from, particularly if they didn't grow up on their traditional lands/Rez and have been relocated due to any number of factors (historic removal, forced relocation, voluntary relocation, poverty, adoption, marriage, etc.). Do the circumstances of their presence in the territory of another Tribe(s) matter insofar as their acceptance into the community? Are they still to be considered an outsider? To what degree does their ties to locality (or lack thereof) preclude them from having a voice in local/regional discussions and affairs?

I know answers will differ between Tribes/persons/regions, but I'm interested in what the individuals here think about this.
