Native Americans fear Harry and Meghan are using holy water

I only support this "holy" logic when the idea if holiness has roots in ecological wellbeing. Otherwise, water is nobody's private property, be it wealthy individuals or religious communities.

yes just 70% of our body. Water should be sacred. 

It's not sacred, it's actually in abundance.

So...the ish with your take is that in the US, native Americans have been deeply deeply wronged by the US. This is their land first and foremost. It’s not for us to decide whether or not use of a cultural artifact is appropriate as non-Indigenous people.

Like, how deeply insulting is it to basically ravage your society and culture and then go “it’s just water to me.” That’s colonizer mentality and genocidal.

It's not for them to decide who gets to use water. 

Sure they have been wronged, they have been killed and ravaged. That still doesn't grant them the authority to decide who can use water.

Your argument is that they have the right to it because they happened to be born there? Literally nothing that they did made the water appear there. It's not theirs or anyone's to claim, everyone has the right to it. It would be equally as wrong to deny them or anyone else access to this "holy" water.

Some people's religion/culture worships the moon. Is the moon theirs to claim?
