Indeed, the government is fucked up towards way more groups than that.
I’m not even a tribe member, from my understanding of my family heritage, I’m only about 23% Native American, which doesn’t qualify me to live on a reservation.
But I have enough Native American in my blood to be interested and keep up with matters that affect Native Americans, of any tribe.
One of my grandmothers told me that if you know how you came from her, even if you only have a drop of her blood left in you
You are Lakota.
I think that applies for all the Native People of the Americas.
I’m part Cherokee and part Chocktaw. The first book I read was a survival manual, at age 5. I’m soon to be 42, not like it matters.
I hope that Cherokee, Chocktaw, Lakota, and other tribes of Native Americans can generally agree these days, the government is fucked up…

Could be a lot worse but yeah it is often very disappointing.
Your link isn’t loading for me.
You don’t even need to be a tribe member to understand how it’s fucked up.

I hear ya. I have family that has blood and could take advantage of it but they don’t.
I don’t even think of it as a one group vs another. It’s fucked up in many ways for many people. There plenty of fuckary spread around.
