They wanted no one to know of them and their languages as it was classified for a long time.

Either your black and once again playing the victim card or just an ignorant white person who was coerced by the BLM movement to make you feel like you yourself were the ones who enslaved their people instead of your ancestors.If your white I’m not the one who was demanding you to get on your knees a few days ago and apologize to me for what you’re ancestors did to Natives. Blacks get welfare money and any other benefits the government hands out. Some tribes receive benefits from the federal government because of treaty obligations.But that has to be shared by all members of the tribe. Even then it’s not enough. So don’t tell me that Natives have it better than blacks do.

og as an American Indian myself, I can see the good and the bad of the border wall. The bad news is Native Americans might be cut off from the land we even occupied in Mexico on the border. So it makes it hard to see that part of the land with the wall. The good news with the wall is we are protecting our land. Who were the first illegal immigrants on the Indian lands? White people. And then the world came to the indigenous people’s land and we slowly lost some of our land. If us Native people actually had built a wall back then it might have made it harder for white people to try and take the land. Since they back then did not have bombs, couldn’t fly over it etc. As an Indian I want the wall built! We lost some of our land once due to illegal immigration. I don’t want us to lose our land even more by what we have already lost. I don’t want Cartels, Gangs, Terrorists, or invading army trying to come here by foot to take this land that was found and built my ancestors! Either we get tough and protect the Indian lands, or another group of ppl might try to take the land and if we don’t protect our borders with this wall, the invaders coming (like Cartels, Gangs, Terrorists) would be laughing at us. Cartels and Terrorists have made it clear they hate us American Indians, they want us under their command, and want to destroy our land. That ain’t happening with me and I will fight to protect this land that my ancestors found and built. That’s why this wall is needed to protect this land and borders. Period.

I am great friends with many Navajos and I will tell you that updating addresses is the least of the problem on the rez. How about America funds roads and running water programs for a people that has been shoved aside. The Navajo Reservation is more like a third world than America due to poor quality land, native corruption, and a scourge of human issues such as alcoholism and domestic abuse. America needs to intervene and provide support NOW regardless of partisan divides. How will we feel if our kids look back and ask why parts of America are so massively under serviced.

Soooo. Latinos are not native. Mexico was not Mexico until the Spaniards took over and named it Mexico. They did a lot of damage to the Incas Mayans Aztecs and other tribes of that country. But they are not native to the United States. It was through Spaniards domination and migration to the states -why they are here. The Mexican we know today was a result of colonization from Spaniards.
@caimccray7
@caimccray7 3 жыл бұрын
Okay so this will be a response to both of you. So first Latinos was used loosely and in response to how Americans don’t recognize native roots. Secondly what most Americans think of when the term Latino is used is Mexicans. And prior to the mexico 1848 cession, California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and portions of Wyoming and Colorado were under the viceroyalty of new Spain and then Mexico. After. So yes Navajo territory technically fell under the borders at one point. So your mentality of oh it’s not in the United States it doesn’t count is bunk. It’s all the new world and those borders didn’t exist. And in relative distances were all closer than you think. There’s tribes within the United States the O’odham that’s borders extend from Arizona into Mexico so now that your idea of borders is decolonized onto the next lesson. Now Mexico wasnt Mexico before Spain that is correct but the majority of the population in Mexico has native roots or admixture. There’s millions of speakers of native languages across the the nation. So while the demographics and gene pool changed in Mexico so did it in the United States. And to be frank the majority of people from Mexico have much higher amount of native admixture than more northern tribes requiring 1/16 in some cases if you want to throw blood quantum’s around for discounting nativeness. Also Mexico was formed after that mixed population And native populations had growing animosity from Spain and a growing difference in cultural identity and they went to war and kicked Spain out. Then France tried to come in and they kicked them out too. And the name Mexico was chosen from the name Mexica which was what the Aztecs called themselves and the flag was taken from stories of their mythology. So it’s not spain. It’s native. They just speak Spanish as you speak English. But they also have their languages and going onto the topic of languages Nahuatl belongs to the family tree of uto Aztecan which includes 30 related members which includes the O’odham, Shoshone northern Paiute, Comanche all well within United States borders. So in other words yes they are Indigenous to this land. We all are. We had distanced separating us but we came from the same people. And your divisive mindsets are why the bs and horrors that the colonization has done to all our peoples have continued.

Well, the Navajo nation (in this case) didn't assign any home addresses... so counting folks becomes a logistics nightmare. I'm glad they're finally fixing the issue.

Very interesting! Good 2 know about the voting issue on the Navajo Nation. I'm actually married to a Navajo and I don't think she's registered to vote with her tribe in years. Yet she votes in the state of TX.

that's good b/c I read an article 3-4 years ago where the Navajo weren't being allowed to vote in an election because the people who were wanting to register to vote weren't allowed...someone would say no, you don't really live there and then that would change the way money was spent in the counties for services they were due and maybe if they all got to vote it would change who got elected this was utah. I wish I could remember the name of the town. local and state elections are as important if not more than federal.

I live on the NN Rez and democrat and Republican leaders are terrible. Democrats and Republicans hardly even bother to gain votes from us because we are such a small percentage within the U.S. They tout false promises to the people and pander like they care and understand our situation but they don’t. The NN is shackled to the U.S. gov and their federal agencies that oversee tribal lands. Things that can take 1 or 2 years to complete like construction projects in cities, will take 5 to 15 years to complete here on the Rez. Currently, I live 8 miles from Kayenta, Arizona and many people that I live by barely received electricity within the past 2 years. Also, my neighbors that live a half a mile away from me still have no running water or electricity. And 1 of them is a US veteran. Reservations will continue to be poor because the land is not ours and it’s owned by the US Gov and not Indian tribes. There is too much bureaucratic red tape that Indians must pass before anything can get completed on the Rez. There are very few opportunities for economic growth and that is the reason why many Indians are forced to leave the Rez. Many of my friends and their families didn’t want to leave, but the only way for them to provide for their families is to leave the reservations for jobs in the cities. Many may forget their culture and language when they leave the Rez. The term “Kill the Indian and save the man” looks to be progressing when more Indians leave their cultural heritage behind. The NN Gov has failed because the US Gov has failed them. Get rid of the BIA, reduce bureaucracy and let us grow economically, until then Indian tribes will continue to live in poverty. Also, don’t comment saying were rich or get casino money, if that were true we wouldn’t be living in 3rd world like conditions.

fineapplepizza to say i am not Indian is to say that we disregard our treaties and our civil rights act of 1968. The term Indian has been used and if we say we aren’t American Indian is disavow those rights given to us within the treaties and civics rights act. I know what you mean tho, but being Politically correct might hurt us when we label our selves Native Americans in court.

When they break the law in town they head for the reservation because the only law that can arrest them is if they come back in town or if the reservation police take care of it. The reservation is their protection. I lived in Winslow for 7 years and I say alot.
