Anonymous asked: You're generalizing a whole group of people because their ancestors committed such wrongs. That's ridiculous. That's like me being African American and hating all white people. Every ethnic group has been oppressed at some point (other than most caucasian races).

Where do we fit in to it?
Like being native is a privilege. We have deal with genocide and racism at that hands of hispanics/latinos so yea…no gtfo.
Now everybody wants to be indigenous. I didn’t hear you and your native pride when we are all being slaughtered and discriminated against by people like you. Where were you then?
Ok, so...

Omfg. Shut the fuck up. You don’t understand where I am coming from, and you never will. My people did not suffer genocide at the hands of Hispanics just so one could go shame me. Fuck you. You will NEVER understand what it means to be a native person who was discriminated against kicked around and spit upon, in our own freaking country. Every time my parents and my grandparents would tell...

Man of Cherokee descent says:
“Native American headdresses are no more sacred than the materials they are made from. Native Americans are not a peace-loving, ‘Na’vi’ like race of humanoids on the Great American Plains living in harmony with one another, as history would show us:

And before you started spewing hate in my ask
I don’t have a problem with black ndn’s, I’m just not amused with people (black, white, hispanic, whatever) falsely claiming to be native when they are not. I pretty much question everyone and everything and if you don’t like it then go unfollow me.
An Open Letter to FHM Philippines →
rubyveridiano:
Dear FHM Magazine Philippines,
I’ll waste no time and get straight to the point here. I’m not one to use harsh words, but your March 2012 cover is an insult to the global community. On behalf of women of all shapes, sizes, and skin tones, I feel personally angered by the image you’ve chosen, a clear picture that blatantly depicts the “superiority” of light skin to dark. The...

Another epic case of missing the point. Rolling my eyes forever.
Anonymous asked: im half quechuan, and half spanish (from spain) where do i stand?
Anonymous asked: Hey, sorry, I wasn't trying to be offensive (I asked the question about latinos). I'm not trying to "get in on" being native or something like that, I was just curious of whether or not latino might be considered native because I had never really thought about it before. I can see why it was probably a dumb question though. Sorry if I came across like some appropriating...
Anonymous asked: I'm sorry but that last statement of not being considered indigenous if you're latino. Maybe I misinterpreted but I do have indigenous roots along with spanish so I would be considered, excuse my colloquialism, a mutt. In all latin cultures there are indigenous groups. I'm sorry if you didn't mean anything by it, and I certainly do not mean to be rude or anything so please...

thank you.
but the thing here is that you know nothing about native americans: their histories, cultures, the genocide…
you have fucked your idea up from the start. race isn’t a “theme” or an identity you can just wear for a day.
Anonymous asked: I was wondering. Where do Latinos (ie puerto ricans like myself) fit in on the spectrum of native peoples? or should it be considered an entirely different thing altogether?

A question for Native Americans on Tumblr
eshusplayground:
I want to post pictures of transracial Native Americans on my Tumblr with sacred items like headdresses and peace pipes and dreamcatchers to share the beauty of Native American Culture (TM). I consulted my spirit ancestor totem animal about it, and they said it would be OK. That means it’s not racist, right?
BTW, I’m 1/128th Cherokee princess and 1/32 Sioux warrior. Does that...

“Towers” was shot mostly on Native American-preserved land in Washington state, and the video features the moving work of an actor named Mystic.
from HuffPo:
The story and aesthetic is very similar to “Holocene,” shot and directed by Nabil Elderkin, of the production house NABIL. Like Iceland in “Holocene,” “Towers” is a true tribute to the Native American preservation land...
