Its not easy being one of us girl! I know for instance from my experiences I am not accepted by the whites and I'm not completely in with the Indigenous..hehehe but I am accepted by the traditional Indigenous for they walk the way of our ancestors in a humble way, they accept all children of all colors, there are no color lines, everyone is equal. I am active in the NA community online and offline. I fight for human rights & civil rights for all peoples. We don't have to prove our Indigenous to anyone, we do that by the way we walk & what path we have chosen. When you walk with the Creator , you shine , you are peaceful and humble people feel and sense your beauty (meaning balance) no words are necessary to express your tribe your affiliations, your relations, for we are all related! blessings Turtle/
