I just found out I am Native American Indian

Claim land back from the U.S. make it a sovereign nation and build your own casino. Best way to scalp us white eyes is to wipe out our checkbooks.

Pretty sure 99 percent of the white people in America are Native American since we were all born here. If you mean Indian, not the dot kind but the arrow kind, if you go back far enough your not really from this land either. In fact, most of you are of Asian dissent or Israeli in the case of the Cherokee.

Now if we are trying to claim the land, it's actually more likely that Caucasians or Israelites were here far before the arrow Indians.

You should be proud of your heritage. I have great respect for Native Americans. One of my best friends is Native American.

Albino? No wonder it took you so long.

It almost seems that nobody can hate America as much as native Americans. America needs new immigrants to love and cherish it.

Respect? Why? I'm sorry but that's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I really don't get it when people say they are proud of or respect people because of the heritage or race. It has noting, not one fucking thing to do with who that person is.

If your,going to respect people, respect people for what they do, not because they happened to be born a certain color that they had no control over. I really don't get the obsession with Indians. It's one of the weirdest things I've seen.

Such an odd country we live in. A white person says they're proud to be white and they're racist. Anyone of color days there proud to be... and they are celebrated.

Gee. Sorry for pissing you off.

Didn't really mean you in general... Just find the whole phenomenon pretty odd. I hear people say this all the time and it just seems odd to respect someone becausee they were born a perticular or color

Me too OP :)

But I have no native american blood. however I once did a past life regression and saw myself as native american.

They are an interesting bunch of people, especially their spiritual beliefs.

I understand your point. It makes sense what you said. There is good and bad in all cultures and we should base our perpective on individuality.

Now, you need to work out whether your REAL forefathers came from the West (china side) or the East (france side) 35,000 years or more ago.

:)

Op, what is your opinion on the white man wiping out 95% of the Native population?

HOW???

I'm a Hopi you not Seminole or you up a Creek!

I was adopted at birth and grew up never knowing my heritage or nationality, I recently met my Biological mother for the first time and that is when I learned I am actually half Iroquois/Seneca Native American, So I have been doing a little research into The Iroquois Tribe and I thought I would share some of what I have found.

The Iroquois

The Iroquois, or Six Nations, stand first among the native races of this continent for valor, policy, and eloquence. Their home was in western and central New York, and their geographical situation, on a broad summit of fertile table-land, favorable for raising maize and abounding in game, gave them great advantages. The leading rivers of this region, running in all directions, and enabling then to descend rapidly into an enemy's country, contributed largely to the success of their warlike expeditions. Their attachment to the English alone saved Western New York from becoming a French colony.

They had attained their highest point about the year 1700. At that period, besides carrying terror by their war parties to the walls of Quebec, they had, by virtue of their combination, subdued and held in subjection, one after another, all the principal Indian nations occupying the territory now embraced in the States of New York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and parts of Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Northern Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New England, and Upper Canada.

If any of these nations became involved in domestic differences, a delegation of chiefs went among them and restored tranquillity, prescribing at the same time their future conduct.

In New England and Canada the Iroquois were the dread of the native Algonkin tribes. When, in the early days of the Massachusetts colony, they made war on the New England Indians, it was said that as soon as a single one of them was seen in their country, these Indians raised the cry from hill to hill, "A Mohawk a Mohawk!" upon which they all fled, like sheep before wolves, without attempting to make the least resistance.

Independence and love of liberty was one of the most marked characteristics of the Iroquois. Their pride was so great that they called themselves Ongwe Hongwe, "the men surpassing all others," and yet in their most prosperous days they could hardly muster four thousand warriors. Their losses in battle were made up by their custom of adopting a part of their captives as members of their tribe.

Originally the confederacy consisted of five tribes or nations: Mohawks, Onondagas, Cayugas, Oneidas, and Senecas.

It Sickens me

errr... wait... i was just saying hello?

HOW!!!1

you can now join the native american church and legally consume peyote

What kind of bird do you wear on your head?

Is it living or dead?

I'll trade you these nice beads for your car.

this bullshit about Cherokees being Israelites and the jews organizing american indians in the Church of Mormon seems very shady.

The jews didn't sail to North America, the Phoenicians did, the Israelites always take credit for everything.

the Phoenicians were semitic but they were definitely not Israelites. The Israelites hated the Phoenicians.

Report it to your employer so they can claim you as a minority!

How!

go collect your casino dividends and visit the rez.

There is a reason why the Native people were spared from Catholic genocide...

Some say they are related too the early Hebrew tribes.

Yes!
Thread: unthinkable and absolute proof of the inspired origins of this book of Mormon

I met my dad for the first time in my life just recently, he told me I was Oglala Sioux. When I lived in Seattle I played in a band and after the show a guy named Daryl and his girl friend would come over to my house and shoot darts and drink. It was like we knew each other our whole lives. He told me he was Lakota Sioux and so was his girl friend.
I told him once I thought my dad was Indian, he laughed and said , " no way! Your teeth are too straight to be Indian!"
I believe he was my brother, and fate drew us together,

you should be very proud
