"The reality of the situation surrounding Warren’s DNA test is that there are plenty of justifiably pissed-off Natives and plenty of apathetic Natives and plenty of Natives who are keeping quiet for reasons of their own."

"White people might find this hard to believe, but Indian Country is not a single mass. We are many. We are different. On hot topics, we have varied views, none of which outweigh another."

Listen.

I'd encourage you to read Nick's piece first, and then read the piece he's referencing.

And also, could um, non-Natives just sit down and be quiet for a while and listen, re-tweet, and share things written by Indigenous peoples on topics that actually affect us?

Then we can avoid these situations.
Thanks.
