Have a niece that was adopted. She is full blood Sioux my Sister got her when just was only a couple of months old. When this neice was in her 20's she took a trip with my Mom across country visiting friends and relatives. Understand they both really enjoyed the trip together.

The one thing Mom had a problem with was the niece kept relieving herself in public and not using rest rooms. She would have Mom pull over to the side of the road just anywhere. She told Mom that that is how Indians took care of things and had been doing it that way for ages. Mom tried to explain that practice was great for the past, but in present times there were a lot more people, it was unsanitary and would spread diseases.

Think all Mom managed to do was change her habits when she was around Mom.
