I think there is an important distinction that needs to be made here. Regardless of what yur skin-tone or hair look like, whether or not you are considered ‘Native American/American Indian/Indigenous’ goes beyond your DNA. It depends on how you live your life. I know several ‘card carrying full-bloods’ who know nothing of their languages, stories, songs, dances – they live on the rez and have access to a wealth of knowledge and do not care. And there are those mixed-bloods, may not have cards, blonde hair, blue eyes, and they know the language, they know the stories, they know the truth of the People. Before accepting or relaying the information that ‘you are Indian’, everyone must stop and understand what ‘being Indian’ truely means. It goes beyond a ‘cool’ family history. There is an obligation to past and present generations. If you truely believe you are of ‘Native American Ancestory’, my question to you is, ‘What are you planning on doing about it?’
