[pigeonshyt]

What a load of crock! they show the indian sistah, as a brown indian and the chief as red. i smell a rat...

How can you grow up not knowing who you are? That makes no sense at all. I guess she meant that she didn't knew her biological ancestry but that is not the same as knowing who you are.

Anyone from North Cental South America are Native Americans. Don't let the Imaginary Lines seperate us

[666Kazekage666]

take a word of advice from the muslims, mormons, chinese, indians(dot) and my people the mexicans not to distant relatives of your people. if native americans remain in such tiny numbers they will always be a marginalized minority.

Breed like rabits as many kids as you can have, grow a sufficient voting pool, to be able to elect some people into power.

Natives are evolving. . . very few chose to evolve out of fear. Change is scary but it means a better life for a group of us who socialize. Protect but dont discriminate yourself our of fear. Glad to know a fellow native can find this influencial'.

cool vid - I'm not aware of how many Native people are in LA but there seems like a lot

[cisabMD]

i'm native american and people think im from south america or mixed with black and there is nothing wrong because all mixtures are beautiful but dont give me stares and comments because i dont look like pocahontas or fit the stereotype that i must speak proper and have long black silky hair or my nose isnt the correct way...just a little experience of what i have faced, anyways everyone take care and hold your heads up high!!

[chynacrawford07]

@cisabMD my great great grandma is full blood and my great great grandpa is half what percent of native do u suppose i am

[cisabMD]

@chynacrawford07 well i know here its what your dad is but if your grandfather is half... you'd be considered half where I am but if you have more than a 4th you can be considered native...I have no idea what state you live in but you can pass for native..

[chynacrawford07]

@cisabMD yeah idk if my dad has native but i know that my grandmothers grandparents were native and they are from north carolina

[cisabMD]

@chynacrawford07 ooo really?? well there is a branch of the ottawa tribe there...they live in hollister,N.C. then of course the eastern band of Cherokee, im sure you can trace it back, but i know cherokee is willing to help you they have a lot of resources available or isf you have anyone who knows more about your grandmother and her parents you should probably ask them..they can probably pinpoint you in the right direction of what tribe your ancestors most liklely descended from. Best of luck

[chynacrawford07]

[ThunderIzking]

[TheAnimalDen]

@ThunderIzking Natives show a lot by being drunk in public.i'm not hating or anything but,it's true their are a lot of other kinds of people that are drunk in public

but natives seem to get it a lot more then other types of people.
