That's in Canada. Here in the United States everybody wants to be indigenous. There's some weird chick I saw on tiktok who has totally taken over an indigenous personality. It's so bizarre I can't remember her user name. She is white I mean white, white. It's so strange.

Oh incidentally you strike me as being very intelligent. Are you a teacher?

Have you heard of that comic Troy Bond?
You were talking about Dominicans. He always makes a joke that he's Dominican. His father is black and his mother is white and he looks so light he does not look black it all.

Would anybody want to go to New York? I understand it's a big city and it's a big state. There is just too many people there. The West is better. Less people.

I will not disagree with you on the use of drugs and or alcohol in the indigenous community. It is unfortunate. Most reservations have few job opportunities for the people that live there. Unless they're close to an urban environment they will be living and trying to eat out a living on the reservation. It makes it unfortunate that the young people have to leave.
To find education and work.

There is not a lot of black people in this state. Now there is compared to when I was younger. I cannot comment on the state of how they are.

Reparations will never come to indigenous peoples.
It is hard for indigenous people to keep one foot in their culture and one foot in the urban world.

It sounds like that person just wants indigenous people to be back on the rez. To not leave the rez do not go away from it.. that's not reality.

Oh I get it. America should give it back. You ever notice when you see white people talk. I mean the ones that don't believe they have any mixed race in them. They think this is their land they made this that it didn't exist before anybody else... What would it be like if they had to leave? You know my mother was white. You cannot imagine the troubles she acquired for marrying an indigenous person.

My cousin is married to a Mexican man. But her children are still enrolled. Lol she doesn't even live on our rez. My auntie took her to live in Washington in Yakima back in the days.
