Sorry if this isn't my place but I'm not sure how they can claim that biracial and White passing Natives are appropriating. Like, do they not know of the history of sexual violence perpetrated against Native American women...?

If they don’t know about the sexual violence, then I hope they do their research. Being biracial doesn’t mean the individual is appropriating their own culture. I am biracial and was raised in a Native culture but because I am White passing and because someone is mad they are going to try to claim that I am not Native. I have heard that tired claim before.
If it is your culture, and you are performing appropriately it isn’t appropriation.
