asked:

I will be going to be going to university next year and I have a great interest native cultures in the united states. As a black person I have learned that black people and native people have had a lot of similar experiences in our histories. the university I am going to has a native american club but I am not sure if it would be invading for me to try and join. I know that sometimes it's great to have a space of just your own. could you please give me some insight from from your perspective.

Honestly, I feel out of place answering this because I am not in that club and cannot speak for every Native, ever. You may want to ask the club :)

I am in a Native American club on my campus and we welcome Natives and non-Natives and I never heard any “they aren’t one of us” remarks. But, again, that’s just my experience. The only advice I can give is to ask someone in the club about exclusivity.
