It’s not your place to joke about our genocide.

[bq stands for blood quantum]

this is talking abt how ppl mock the idea that indigenous people are indigenous regardless of how much native blood they have

so long as a person a] has native blood, b] considers themself indigenous, and c] participates in their community with respect and love, they are fucking indigenous

yall love to forget just how few of us there are left and that those who survived were forcibly assimilated into white culture

those 1/64th cherokee jokes are inappropriate and disgusting knock it off thanks :)
