Imagine being a minority in your own land.

"My name means that my family survived." So sad yet so proud...
-
From Ireland I can tell you, don't stop speaking your native language, don't ever stop celebrating your culture, do get politically active and make them uphold those treaties.
-
My heart broke when my sister spoke about her grandfather. Because he looks black he feels like he isn't native enough. Let your grandfather know it's MORE of him then he knows!! Incredible video
-
Stand tall, I refuse to be disregarded. I’m a Maori woman and proud. Indigenous nations all over the world ✊🏼
-
whenever I hear a white supremacist claim America is a white nation, I shake my head and cringe.
-
It really touched me when the young woman with the glasses told the story about her grandfather. Bless his heart,he wants to protect her but his actions hurt her heart. I hope that he can come to an agreement with her and finally come out of his room.I love what the young woman said with pride about her name.🌺

I'm Cherokee and I want all of my native people to know that YOU MATTER AND YOU ARE IMPORTANT
-
I didn't know Native people had to approve their blood amount. That's messed up
-
Hmmm. Hawaiian’s have to prove ‘blood quantity’ too. And yes our land, our kingdom was taken forcibly too. I see a common theme here.
-
Natives bring such a valuable contribution to this country in spirit and culture. I pray they find peace of mind and a positive way forward.
-
Loved hearing about their experiences first hand. Thank you.
-
I’m native. I’m 50%Cherokee/50%Mohican. I’m native and I am happy . Government just want to divide and conquer people. I’m half of half. I am still proud to be Native
-
Native American president. I really hope that we get one . God bless all native Americans
-
I think all of us natives should be proud because our ancestors had to fight for us to be here
-
Thank you for sharing, this was eye opening. I always thought that proving your Native ties was to prevent non-Native people from taking Native benefits (i.e. college funds), I never before though of it as a way to track "dilution" to the point of no longer providing benefits and stealing back the land provided. I appreciate you sharing that and opening up a narrative I hadn't considered before.

When will a native American become president of the USA...
-
My great grandparents were Native. I miss them. I miss hearing their stories. I wish they were still alive
-
I grew up in Canada, and native culture was present in education, however it was very whitewashed. I and many of my peers left school with a lot of unanswered questions, racial biases, and misinformed ideas about native culture. A conversation like this one never happened. Thank you for sharing…❤
-
Glad to hear your voices. May they increase in number and volume until all native nations can no longer be ignored.
