All Native Peoples unite. From the Americas to the Caribbean and beyond. Full blood, half-blood or less. What matters is love and respect for the culture.

We n' de ya ho

Sadly I Don't Have Any Native Blood In Me (I Might have some blood but at a very low % of blood) But I Do love The Native Culture and the people. They are my inspiration to wake up everyday and when I die I hope I will be in Nature for Eternity.

@cherokeeprincess52 U.S. governmental protection has nothing to with your heart. It has to do with retention of the treaties that provide health and educational services to the Indian people, as well as federal protection of Indian lands, (And, by the way, Indian people and our governments are protected in the Constitution. It says nothing about "Native Americans." Native American is a term of political correctness and convenience.

The day we look pass our diffences and skin color that will the day of the beginning of peace.
