Why might Indigenous peoples refuse to let others into their ceremony? How is this reflective of today’s society?

When Miig shares more about the history that brought them to where they are with the group, he tells them that the Native Americans were were interred in “schools” where government representatives “leach the dreams from where our ancestors hid them, in the honeycombs of slushy marrow buried in our bones” (Location 1136). As such, we see the way in which the government attempted to rob them of their heritage, traditions, and most of all their dreams. The schools took away their heritage, thus, the Indigenous people refuse to allow access to the rituals of their heritage that remain.
