Hello everyone! i just wanted to put it out there that this blog is not abandoned; I have been off of it for a while because my father has been in the hospital and will not be alive for much longer. This blog requires me to do a lot of thinking, writing, and research, and I didn’t want to give anyone a half-attempted prompt. I am here. I cannot devote as much time to this site as I had before but I will not be leaving it. Hey, maybe I could use another mod? Food for thought. I am wishing you all a happy, safe, and amazing new year!
Hello, I'm 1/16th Cherokee. I know it's not much, but in your opinion, would it be acceptable if I associated myself or embraced the culture? The culture has always interested me ever since I was young. I'm white, but I do have some facial features.

All Natives have undergone the process of assimilation to one extent or another. We have to get away from colonial dogma. One aspect of colonialism is the concept of blood quantum. Blood quantum was specifically invented by the Federal government with the intent of forcing Tribes into extinction.
If you belong to a Tribe, that’s who you are. You aren’t 1/16th of a person. It’s fine for you to embrace your heritage if you know it to be so, but if you do, please embrace it all. Learn their ways and assist fellow Tribal members and the Native community at large. Don’t simply use your bloodline to vouch for appropriation or mascotry. We see this all too often. We dislike it when people claim tribal heritage (often times Cherokee for some reason) but only when its beneficial for them and its used against tribal interests.
Racism is many things. It is a system of domination and exploitation based on the idea of race. Racism has been around a long time and is alive and well today. It is perhaps the single most influential social force shaping American life. It is woven into the economic, political, and social fabric of our country. Here’s a simple way to define racism: prejudice plus power.

Too often we learn another language so we feel confident about asking for help, rather than wanting to learn another language to hear someone ask for help.

violence against women is not perpetrated by the mentally ill; it is perpetrated by men who have been culturally coddled by a society that has yet to bear responsibility for neglecting to teach them that they are not owed one damned thing on god’s green earth from women.

America created the Taliban and ISIS and destroyed so many countries and robbed so many lives and all these countries took a step back instead of forward and are the way they are today because of them yet we are seen as the terrorists and we are seen as barbaric
