Who is and who is not native American???

[Two Thumbs]

The usual Trump cult members have brought this up today after the orange clown with the fragile ego did not pass up a chance to mock someone he considers a threat to his orangeness.

The fact is that Native American heritage is determined by the tribes THEMSELVES ...It is tribal members who determine what a blood quantum should be to be part of that particular tribe, contingent on what is called a "base roll" ....or they rely on somewhat spotty historical lineage since few records exist based on the carnage and virtual annihilation of most tribes.

It is NOT up to the idiot Trump (who once falsely claimed he was a Swede...lol) to state who is and who is not Native....and it certainly isn't u to Trump Cult members to mock someone like Warren who was simply repeating her own family lore.

If you were born in America, you're a native.

"Who is and who is not native American???"
I'm 100% Cherokee Native....no proof necessary...I "feel" Native, therefore I am Native...that's how I want to "identify".
When can I expect my check from the tribe?
(does anyone hear how ******* pathetic I sound?)

Surprised a Native American is a strong Republican on here since the Republican Party often does things not in the best interest of Native Americans. My wife is half Native American, her father a full Cherokee, and she has been a strong democrat all her life.

Me German and English background, my college education converted me from Republican to Democrat and I love being a democrat

What I've often found fascinating is that although there are over 300 tribal entities throughout the lower 48 states.....and although the Cherokee Nation is NOT the largest of these tribes, all those who claim SOME Indian heritage revert to being Cherokee.

Actually, in a way it is the duty of the government to determine who is Native American or who is not. Since the government uses tax payer money to pay for education and schools for the Native Americans , they need to make a determination of who is actually a Native American, and who may be making the claim just for a college grant.

I disagree talking to my ex cherokee girl friend (I used to ask her a lot of questions because I was fascinated about it) she told me you had to prove to the tribe you were 1/8th to get casino profits ..

We broke up about 3 years ago..

Each tribe can decide on their own standard for who they consider citizens. Just as countries can decide who are citizens. However when it comes to getting grants from the Federal Government, well that requires 1/4 blood quantum, and you better be able to prove it. In other words, just because a tribe may consider you a citizen, if you want a college grant from the US government, you better have at least 1 grandparent who is full on Indian.

Just proves the destructive nature of academia.

 

[sartre play]

IF your family did not get you on the rolls, even if you have tribal blood, hard to prove it after the fact. many people with 1/8 are on the rolls. if your generational Oklahoma born there is a good chance you have " native American blood."

the law is clear, if you are born here you can live here.

their criminal parents must face the penalty of the law, and yes, that means they take any minors with them.

Repeating family lore can be repeating a family lie just as easy!

That's how the Bible came to be....Lore repeated over and over again over something like 600 years before anyone wrote anything down.

Yes, his family denied their German heritage, did even Fred Sr. serve in WWII?

President Donald Trump has come under fire for using the name of a famous Native American as a slur -- at an event honoring Native Americans for their service as code talkers in World War II, no less.

Trump turned to his often-used insult of "Pocahontas" to slam Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whom he claims has embellished her purported Native American heritage. Warren has said she was raised being told that she is part Native American, but has maintained that she never used this aspect of her heritage to advance her career.
Trump's repeated attacks on Warren come despite his own family's past efforts to hide their heritage. According to multiple reports from The New York Times and the Boston Globe and a biography, Trump's father repeatedly sought to conceal the fact that he was the son of German immigrants.

What you are is identity, how you yourself identify, not how others decide to identify you.

 

[nat4900]

Elizabeth Warren was born in Oklahoma (a state whose name in Choctaw means the place of the Red People)

Almost half of Oklahoma's population claims they have Native blood quantum and Warren NEVER profited form the lcaim of being 1/32 Cherokee either in being hired, promoted, or for salary increases....

Bottom line: Trump is SCUM in his constant racist bigotry.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

That's because I am one...my DNA says its so. My DNA is what I am made of. So yes my DNA makes me a swede first and foremost. Why is that so offensive? Take off the red white and blue glasses and relax.

Nationality is a political trait, not a biological trait.

Have you ever even been to Sweden? Have you ever been outside of the United States?

Most of us only know what we are based on what we've been told. As far as I know, I'm French Canadian, German, English, & Pensylvannia Dutch (actually German too). I've not done any ancestry check: just don't care that much.

Warren was told she was part Native American. She believed her grandma. So what? Why shouldn't she? Lots of Americans are told they have Native American blood. Unless you take it deadly serious, what is the problem? She didn't try to claim it to get any benefits, so it just doesn't matter. And Trump is way out of line attacking her for it when he did the same; but, that's one of the things he excels at--attacking others for doing things he has done himself.

You mean like Trump saying he’s a billionaire and being afraid of releasing his taxes to prove it?

Huh? How does that work?
