I love how people are doing the meme about how their great grandpa was Indigenous so they can do x and y in your replies. One of my mother's grandparents is South American Indigenous but I don't talk about it because she died when my mother was very small and I have like 0 ties to any tribes.

I really don't think it means anything at this point for me.

i genuinely don't believe in any type of BQ regulation or policing because being displaced from your culture is like a symptom of Indigeny but i also see reconnection as a responsibility and not a bragging right. lots a people int on that tip

I'm a reconnecting Cherokee and the way I think of it is that it's work I'm doing to recover the connections that my family lost because of colonization. It's not easy, but I want my kids (if I ever have any lol) to grow up with strong ties to the community and an understanding of their culture

exactly, and i think we'd all be better off if more of us admitted "actually i grew up disconnected and traumatized as hell" cause thats what colonization has done.

it occurs to me that the displacement and scattering of Native people was intended to rob us of our power
