I am 1/8 Choctaw and 1/8 Blackfoot, both from my mom's side.
No offense but I dont need to explain what my heritage means to me, it is what it is.Each of my maternal grandparents is/was half NA and they were matched by their parents bc they were both "mutts" as called by their own parents and family members. All that matter is that they loved each other and made a few kids who went on to make me and mine. The racism aspect isnt just towards the NA people either, my own grandfather doesn't like to claim a few of us grandchildren bc we are "too white faced to look like his blood". Try facing that every time you see your grandpa.
