There’s white groups that know it’s them against us like the Mayflower society and other right white family “Euroyate” and they go by blood quantum just like the worst racist red folks on the reservations but who has the power, the white “ blood percenters “ or ppl who need to go by that for raw land rights and resource control for manufacturing going back to the treaties. What we’re reds supposed to do when big ole white treaty man slaps down a fully racist blood percentage on the tipi floor and says sign it or fight us for it? I think it’s smarter to go along with white racist colonizers when they can kill ya for your land rather than fight a suicidal battle just to look good in the history books and that’s how we survived. I think we were the only race to not be fully conquered by the white man after holding them off the longest of all the natives and then like our last war chief little crow said “the u.s. fights itself in the south with millions of troops and freed slaves so if you attack for your land back they’ll only send cannons and completely outnumber you until you’re like rabbits being hunted in the high moon!” Today we’re not any more racist than anyone else and it’s harder to prove native Americans are racist towards any other race in the first place simply because in order to call natives racist first the race and history of the person calling us out has to come into question which is too much for most people and they don’t wana get into it, derailing their own claim lol. But anyway I think we should tell people we’re not conquered it’s only in white folks minds who wrote the history books and we’re doing all we can to get through mainstream media the hows n whys we still own this land. We can totally prove who owns what because the worlds accepted land laws all point to original treaty signers and it’s just a hop, skip and a anthropological jump to doing your genealogy to trace your lineal decendancy back to one of north Americas treaties for land and resource cuts from class action lawsuits as we continue to group up in solidarity to beat those pilgrim proud declaration folks in the game of “who really owns America”. I’ve had the privilege of growing up traveling to a lot of native nations and white countries around the world as well as being part of one in South Dakota called lake traverse in 78 later renamed sisseton wahpeton. W we’re all human beings but we have this duty to untie histories mysteries as they pertain to our identities, lives, lifestyles and future gens. Speaking of gens… Thanks Jen! I appreciate your goal, trajectory and passion to rock the real sauce and y’all should be mainstream!maybe one day right? Thanks all.

HOLD UP Jen! Before we go forward with what you just said ,Mexican, US red skinned indigenous and US black skinned indigenous need a family meeting because the indigenous community is hot divided mess. Black skinned indigenous were ROBBED of their indigenous language, culture and identity starting 1795 US census, Mexican Indigenous lost their rights to the USA starting in 1821 , US red skinned indigenous to get the US white racist government off their back in the 1800s went along with what the . US government said who was true blood indigenous person in the USA , and who could get indigenous reparations. Now in 2023, We have some Latinos and red skinned indigenous claiming their indigenous roots and some complaining when black skinned indigenous clam their black indigenous ancestors roots. I have a grandparents born before 1865 that I will never know their true tribe name and indigenous name. They were indigenous from Mexico and USA. They were racial misclassified . I am not African Americans. I am black indigenous from USA. Latino want to be the face of US indigenous but you need to add some black people faces too. We can’t go forward without SAYING and seeing red, Latino and black indigenous all on a stage together. everybody especially white people claiming to be indigenous but black people can’t .
