who's who

recently i've come across a grave number of places across the internet that are debating the issue concerning who is indian and who is not. i refer to indian people as indian people cause when i was growing up i was still a black girl with indian roots. most of friends whether they are standing rock sioux, arikara, navajo or miccosukee will still call us and one another indian. yet it has occured to me that in the recent past ( for me it was around the time the seminole tribe of hollywood opened that casino across from the village ) blood ties have been overlooked for money. money that can't go too far when most of your tribal members are spending it in god awful places for ridiculous reasons. and i thought to myself, oh wow, our cousins over here are gonna stick it to the man. still a sovereign nation, the seminole tribes of florida had a great start. like everyone else who was hoping to be self-sufficient all that stopped....... yes you have people who took advantage of all the money for selfish reasons... all those folks jumping to get on rolls and get some money. but there are soooo many folks who don't care two craps about being on any roll and they have been silenced. we need to hear that story. and because i haven't heard enough of that story i felt i needed to post this. i am very much FOR the freedmen's cause. it has brought up a history that america should not try to forget. don't try an deny me my heritage because it doesn't fit your own idea of what and who you think indian people are. and indian people too have learned bad manners and stupid-ass , condescending, rascist attitudes from white people. guess what...... they don't have your best interest in mind. check history. yours and other indigenous people. AND IT"S STILL GOING ON.
i don't need blood money....... ok i'm lying, i'd like that 40 acres and a mule.......
money is nothing went you don't know where you came from. and who you came from.
