1/7 With all the Warren, Eastern Metis and Chumash #pretendian stories flitting about, there isn't much opportunity to speak about the core issues of #AmerindigenousDisempowerment I hope my colleague forgives me using her video for my own purposes.
2/7 1) Amerindigenous groups are divided, as they have been since 1492. But they are united by ancestry and genomic evolution. 2) Amerindigenous groups are divided by colonial mindsets / language (Spanish & English, Puritans & Catholics, Segrationalist vs Aggregationalist Racism)
3/7 3) Divided by Affinity to whiteness and belief that we've lost the "If you can't beat them, join them mentality " (flag worship, military service, religion) 4) Divided by intra-Amerindigenous grudges over actions that were products of Colonial war and alliances.
