@recycldstardust: Replying to @Live Madley🤪 yes in many Native American and indigenous groups. If you have a non-native mother, they will consider you non-native because for a lot of native nations the mother passes down the clan. And personally, I think this is a little ridiculous, especially in modern times I understand why it’s important and why it’s traditional and the history behind it in heritage behind it and why it’s culturally significant but in 2025 I think that shunning or push pushing away people in our communities for something like this is just hurting us collectively. It’s very damaging to think this way and to push people away, especially those that do have a type of community especially those that are trying to learn and trying to connect. It can be very disheartening. It’s like they’re robbing someone’s identity from them based on principle. #n#nativetiktokn#nativefamilyn#nativeamerican
I’m three fires and we follow our dads clan but my dads ppl are 6 nations n follow their moms …….then I heard some go by who raised you. Or get adopted in a clan. Some clans do adopt. But i like ur post ty for sharing

me for personally I have never thought I would ever be considered to be any native because of little is there in my blood and the lost of all connections and ties and that im white skin with blue eyes. My Grandmother was half Native but she was taught at a young age that part of her was bad. So my dad who is a quarter but doesn't know much of the tribes and clans. I wish I could learn more about the family past.

That isn't as strictly guarded nowadays as it was pre-colonial era. My mother is white, my Dad was Native and I am and always have been accepted and enrolled. Some tribal communities may still think thst way on a social level, bit most don't. Tribes are too racially mixed to follow that line of thinking, especially up and down the east coast and in the south.

You are who your mother is isn’t just an an indigenous rule. For obvious reasons, it is a rule for most of the known world. Thank goodness there are exceptions to every rule.

here in canada we don't even do blood quantum anymore, and as long as you have direct native relation you're considered native (in my experience at least)

Reconnection work is the most important aspect of being mixed and wanting to claim being Indigenous. There’s a big difference between having Native ancestry and BEING Native

I think this was more for passing down clan or tribal affiliation not race (because race wasn’t a thing back in those days). Not sure how things happened once different races became a thing

my mother is Zuni and Hopi and my father is Purépecha
what does that make me
I'm so confused
I've been told I don't count because I'm not 100% of any
family says I don't have the right to learn the native language on my mother's side and my fathers side is obviously in Mexico so I've never met them
