🔥 Day 3 — Native Allies: Contradiction or Convergence? 🔥 If Indigenous didn’t build Cahokia, why align with outsiders erasing us? That’s the question. Everywhere you look, you see the contradiction: ⚡️ Modern “Natives” today are highly mixed with European and Asian bloodlines—some with blonde hair and blue eyes—yet they’re never questioned. Mexicans, as mestizos (mostly European + Indigenous mix), are embraced as “Native” too. But Foundational Black Americans, with Indigenous, African, European, and even Asian strands, are told we’re not “pure”? Make it make sense. ⚡️ Courts already proved it. In 2017 a federal court forced the Cherokee Nation to recognize Black Freedmen descendants, and in 2021 they deleted “by blood” from their constitution. Yet Siberian-lineage Natives on TikTok still call us “Afro-Indigenous” like melanin is a disqualifier. Why aren’t they called “Asian-Indigenous” if their roots trace back to Siberia? ⚡️ DNA receipts don’t lie. Harvard’s David Reich Lab shows SNP markers connecting many FBAs to Amazonian, Mayan, and Papuan signals. That’s ancient DNA alignment, not theory. Add to that family ties like mine to the Choctaw Nation in Mississippi, and the proof is undeniable: we are Indigenous, not outsiders. ⚡️ And while teepees get spotlighted, the mounds and pyramids of our ancestors—Cahokia, Mississippi mound builders, copper-colored civilizations—are erased. Meanwhile, “pretendian” gets thrown at us, when the real cosplay is alliances with Africans, Latinos, and even settlers who don’t recognize you either. This isn’t about hate—it’s about truth. 🗣 We aren’t “Afro-Indigenous.” We are Indigenous. The courts said it. The DNA said it. The mounds said it. The maps said it. 💭 So here’s the real question: why are you so scared to admit it? ⸻ 📚 Sources & References: • Cherokee Nation v.
