Very few of us are Native Westerners because as you say 'our fathers sought the American Dream'. For me it was grandparents and they came from England to Canada. But it matters not where they came from or to. It matters that we are all part of the "Melting Pot" that is North America.
I'm so glad you stood up for your heritage. I knew nothing bad of your culture but my view could have been coloured by AG's post.
