The term „conflicting loyalties“ means that you are insecure in a certain situation, how to behave towards a specific person oder group of persons.
In connection with Juniors situation at the basketball game against a team from his reservation, it can be said that here, Junior is confronted with this conflict.
On the one hand, there are his family-members, his team and his coach. And on the other hand, there are all the people from the reservation (Reservat) and in a certain way his family too. The fact that he has betrayed his people because he has changed on a school outide the reservation and filled with white people - and that as an Indian -,they all turn their backs on him and call „Arnold sucks“ when he enters the gym.
He does not know how to behave towards the people from the reservation in presence of his team and his coach. He stand between two worlds.
On the one hand, he does not want to give up his place in the team because it makes fun, his team-mates accept him and because his father is proud that he has done it.
But on the other hand, he does not want to make his family bad because he plays in a white basketball team and he shows this in public, even though they stand behind him and support him.
He does not know how to react because he does not want to hurt a side in any way.
