    Is he gonna pay for the passport, flight ticket, housing, etc?

    I’m partly Native American, I’d like to know…

    Edit: Where am I going anyways?.. 🤔

      Shit sign me up, long as we can go to one of those third world countries. You know the ones with free healthcare and a liveable wage.

        Ah I see you like the idea of England then 🔥🔥 💯

        Nah seriously though, if someone paid me off to GTF somewhere warm and slightly less comfortable, i’d be all over that like a cheap suit.

      One of my grandmothers told me that if you know how you came from her, even if you only have a drop of her blood left in you

      You are Lakota.

      I think that applies for all the Native People of the Americas.

        I’m part Cherokee and part Chocktaw. The first book I read was a survival manual, at age 5. I’m soon to be 42, not like it matters.

        I hope that Cherokee, Chocktaw, Lakota, and other tribes of Native Americans can generally agree these days, the government is fucked up…

          I’m pretty sure most people other than those in government or corporations can agree the government is fucked up

          Could be a lot worse but yeah it is often very disappointing.

            Indeed, the government is fucked up towards way more groups than that.

            I’m not even a tribe member, from my understanding of my family heritage, I’m only about 23% Native American, which doesn’t qualify me to live on a reservation.

            But I have enough Native American in my blood to be interested and keep up with matters that affect Native Americans, of any tribe.

              I hear ya. I have family that has blood and could take advantage of it but they don’t.

              I don’t even think of it as a one group vs another. It’s fucked up in many ways for many people. There plenty of fuckary spread around.

      If it’s up to them, I’d assume it’d be to what they think your home country is, India.
