here’s a fun fact, the “Research“ on pretendians is fundamentally flawed. Let’s look at my family tree for instance, here on my Rez before it was cool to be Indian the only way that you could get work is to say you were white or hispanic

My great great grandmother, Aawok Fanny Rube is listed on one or two censuses as being white, it’s well documented she was 4/4 Yurok, the last “documented” practicing medicine woman in Weitchpec in 1942. I stay documented because it was illegal to do those things in 1942
So when a person like Keeler puts you on the list and then begins to do your research, the first instance of white on a census this is going to be enough and the research will never continue.
