I've lived in New York. The melting pot. Im not racist. I just understand the plight of our people. If we don't keep our culture, history, language, and blood line strong within our community then we will forget who we are.

I did not intend to make anyone feel unwelcomed. Just depends on your view point. Telling a Mohawk they don't look Mohawk is not a good introduction. The laws keep changing about who can live here. Basically they want only Mohawks residing here. But like I said for many years we have married out. Now they are trying to keep the blood strong. Marry back in. Discourage Natives from bringing non Natives to live here. We have already lost to much land.

We had a group of people called the Elders. The Elders, Band Council, Indian Affairs etc... are always trying to tell us about Blood Quantum. Deciding who is Mohawk. REASON: Natives for many many generations have married out. Our Nation will become in jeorpady if we continue. No not all Natives are rude, only when we get pissed off. I just get so tired of labels. Or trying to justify if Im Native, who my family is etc...even in my own community.

The group I belong to is the mixed ple group.We are happy with just ourselves.I don't care if white,black,mohauk,asian indian,and amerindians don't accept me LOL.Anyway I only call myself mixed race and nothing else.

pt3:I'm close to where you live right now and you made me feel unwelcome here.Some guy who look white came off the wrong stop over there and some natives were rude towards him.Now I know how the natives feel about other races thanks:'(.No one is 100% one race but some ple feel they are and it is their choice.If I was mixed with mohauk I would never deny my mohauk grandparent.I do have mixed/amerindian grandparents but they are the ones from the caribbean. |
