It’s disrespectful to real mixed native Americans.

You can’t always tell someone’s background just by looking at them. A lot of people don’t realize that many Native Americans, especially darker-skinned Natives, were treated differently because of racism and colonization. Historically, tribes like the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole — known as the Five Civilized Tribes — owned enslaved Africans before the Civil War. After slavery, many Black people who were also connected to these tribes were called “Freedmen.” Some Black Natives lost their tribal recognition over time because the government and tribes often favored lighter-skinned Natives or people who could fit European ideas of what a Native person should look like. The U.S. government also forced Native people into records based on race instead of identity. On documents like census rolls and the Dawes Rolls, many mixed Black and Native people were labeled only as “Black” or “Freedmen,” even if they had Native ancestry. That erased a lot of Native identity on paper, but it didn’t erase people’s families or history. That’s why many Black Americans today have Native ancestry. African people, Native people, and other groups were mixed together over generations because of slavery, displacement, and survival. DNA studies have shown that many African Americans do carry Indigenous ancestry, even if it’s a smaller percentage. So yes, I’m Black American, but that doesn’t cancel out my Native heritage. My grandparents know who they are and where our family comes from, and they had no reason to lie about our history. I look black but there my grandparents from my mama side

Thank you for this! I’m so over these blacks saying they were the first Americans! I asked why they don’t embrace their own race. And said us natives have been through a lot. One said “well what have you been through!?” If you don’t know then you’re not a real native.

And it’s always Cherokee which makes it harder for white presenting Cherokees to proudly take part in the community because now we all look like we’re faking. I sometimes feel like I need to show my tribal ID in order to proudly talk about the culture I actually grew up around, went to a native boarding school, am registered in Cherokee Nation, volunteer my time towards the tribe etc. there are only two legitimate Cherokee communities that you can be registered in which is Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma or Eastern Band in North Carolina. Any other “registration” is a scam

please be careful not to make a safe space for natives who use pretendian hunting to be antiblack. it ain't cool and not about pretendians at that point. Also, prayers for Powatan's original burial land outside of Richmond, VA, they trying to build a development over it.

All indigenous people on planet earth are darkskin people. Light Skin/Pale skin is the result of gene mutation 1000s of years after the dark skin people. If you have light skin you are not indigenous anywhere on earth.
