Indigenous Identity Discussion Full Interview

[@loganisabigboy6931]

Don’t discriminate against mixed natives. I’m mixed indigenous and I was born brown like my father but I have friends and family who are also mixed but have a lighter skin tone and people call them posers. If they can prove they’re indigenous then they’re indigenous

[@ojicree1987]

pretendian.

[@EEE-vl4hy]

People on the comments are so ignorant. Indigenous people come in all shades. Educate yourselves. Judging other by skin tone is a colonizer concept.

[@Milkdejean]

A colonizer mindset is white people tricking other into believing being Native American isn’t a race and denying mestizo’s right to claim their culture but allowing white likes these and yourself

@@Milkdejean I see you cousin. Keep on keepin on, don't go by hispanic/latino labels, inform others, and research/connect with your tribe(s).

Even though I was a registered member of my band since birth I was separated due to family in Residential School and tried for decades to have contact with my Nation, they did not ever respond. It's funding. It's greed. I lived in another town my entire life and that Indigenous Community did not include me either. When you are ghosted by your own people, sometimes you are forced to figure it out your own way. We need much healing in resolve to those Indigenous who have been displaced and are suffering. I still love your content and what you guys are doing. It has inspired me and taught me much. We all have much learning and growing to do as Indigenous people. BTW, I be part of a welcoming home ceremony soon. My HC's are good people and at 45 years old I am going home.

That white guy stop claiming Native

[@CrowdPleeza]

What is a Native American supposed to look like nowadays? Many Native Americans aren't full blooded. So yes you'll find those with white mixtures and Black mixtures like the Shinnecock tribe of New York.

@@CrowdPleeza you are saying that even if you are mixed, you still can identify as indigenous??? Wtf?

[@CrowdPleeza]

@@bassemalfred2920 I've seen many people who identify as Native American who look part white.

[@andrewgreen5574]

@@bassemalfred2920 in the U.S. 70% of the native population is mixed, and as indigenous groups buck the blood quantum system, indigeneity is becoming more about tribal relatedness and culture. Even then, some tribes have adoption processes, where non-natives are adopted into the tribe. The Mohawks specifically have had a long history of this.

Of what land are either of you indigenous to?

@Jesse- Caldwell are you the people in the video? If not then why are you getting so triggered?

[@SuperParamorefan567]

@Jesse- Caldwell are you special pretendian?

[@SuperParamorefan567]

@Jesse- Caldwell and you're literally threatening me and the other commenter over youtube comments. You're raising your blood pressure and gonna have an aneurysm. Calm down.

[@EEE-vl4hy]

And if y’all don’t know who these people are GET EDUCATED. These people are notable indigenous peoples in First Nations communities.

[@SuperParamorefan567]

No, imagine these people with pale skin and blue/green eyes look like the very people that call us "prairie n word" "squaw" and "go back to your country" even though we're from here. Mostly or all of these peoples ancestors did atrocities to mine. They don't face racism strictly for the color of their skin or features. They need to speak about being mixed and let the platform for indigenous people to speak who are way more marginalized then they could ever be.

[@townluck8578]

Stop claiming to be native damn European

[@goblin3784]

@@SuperParamorefan567 being native isnt about being oppressed

[@SuperParamorefan567]

@@goblin3784 yeah it actually it. Indigenous people have been the most marginalized people in history aside from black people

[@CrowdPleeza]

Is the word Indian used often in Canada? Or is that used more in the U.S?

[@goblin3784]

to my knowledge its more of a u.s thing, i think in canada indigenous people are called first nations or metis if theyre mixed

[@SuperParamorefan567]

These people are literally white

[@Milkdejean]

@Jesse- Caldwell according to their skin complexion and facial features they don’t even look like mestizo who are half and half

[@Milkdejean]

@Jesse- Caldwell I’m a mestizo myself. That’s what I’m basing this off of.

[@Milkdejean]

@Jesse- Caldwell what the hell are you talking about? I live in the us. I know a white person when I see one, and you’re one of them; you’re not indigenous either just like the people in the video

[@SuperParamorefan567]

@Jesse- Caldwell shut the fuck up fool

[@MasiukA]

They are literally mixed and white-passing. Time to realize indigeneity is culture and peoplehood, not "race".
