This book amazing
life changing book
You know what’s really fucked up? That a known Klansmen speech writer can reinvent himself, falsify his Cherokee lineage and culture and white people (and famous POC like Oprah) just go about making him a million dollar liar because his writing fits into their idea of what a Native American should be. It’s like the worst case of the blood myth…Even the Cherokee words that are in this book are not even real Cherokee words….It’s required reading in some parts of the US. I just can’t phathom.
This is why Cherokees have such a bad name with other Natives. Our identity often gets hi-jacked by pretendians and now some of the Cherokees are trying to make capital off of it. Can we stop all this appeasement shit, and fight the power structure with our sister Nations?
P.S. Here’s a sources to my claims.
P.P.S. This is not an indictment on the OP. Just our society’s ignorance in general.
