"the reservation thing'
you mean the lands where survivors of recent genocide were herded and haven't recovered fast enough for you?
You mean the lands you were given and signed a treaty about? The lands which because they are sovereign, you have complete control over, and are your own govt.?
Those lands where you claim abuse and persecution. Well who is perpetrating this abuse and persecution?
Or back to the beginning...

I don't know her bloodlines I don't really care but to many within tribal communities that rarely have voices or coverage on any sort of significant platform her actions and the awareness she brings hold value
I've heard that she was raised with stories of her family being involved with a tribal community and whatever came of that through relationships may hold truth maybe it's just some white folks loving our art and culture doesn't much matter to me
It's not uncommon for scenarios where mixed (even slightly) are accepted by tribes as one of the whole.
Anyone on the main stage bringing up Native issues and bringing awareness to the unbelievable abuse of native women and girls on tribal land is giving a voice to those forgotten and ignored by msm while they profit off of other injustices
She may not have high enough cheekbones for those looking to ignore and discredit her but I hope she keeps on keepin' on
Let's see you don't want to be part of the US but you feel the US should give you voice and coverage about your... plight?
