Answer:
she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.
Explanation:
The young boy's mother told the Canadian border guard that they are coming from and going to a place called "Standoff" because she felt that she and her family belonged to neither American or Canadian side.
The mother simply wanted to be "Blackfoot" and felt that her identity should not rest on American or Canadian Blackfoot. The mothers used the place "Standoff" because that's where she felt like she belonged, a place which neither America or Canada owned, when asked about her citizenship.
Answer:
Not all people who believe in life after death would call themselves religious.
For example, some people believe in the concept of reincarnation who are not necessarily Buddhist, Hindu or Sikh. Others feel natural justice requires good to be rewarded and evil to be punished, but they do not hold one of the traditional faiths that promise an afterlife.
For some people, near-death experiences (NDEs), a sense of déjà vu or witnessing ghosts (perhaps through a medium) convince them there is life beyond death.
