So, being a Navajo..

It’s interesting seeing some of these comments which are pretty kinda not how we should be homogeneous in our thinking…

Natives come in all shapes and sizes


Even colors

Hair styles

Hair types (Not just straight or black)

Varying cheek bones

Statures

Etc…

Also if you’re Navajo you’re sacred name is

A. Not for Anyone (but close family) to know as it could be used against you
B. Not going to be a simple animal name. It’s much more linguistically complex
C. Going to be withi the 4 sacred mountains


Some of y’all asking about these stereotypical nonsense attributes…

I just don’t get it…

Also, you’re great Great grandmother who was a Cherokee princess?


Not real. (More than likely your family wants to be a part of history in some way and made this shit up)

If you grew up singing the sacred songs, eating/cooking the food, hearing the stories, doing the ceremonies, speaking/reading/writing the language w the community then you have/are a part of tribe.

It’s not in your blood. Blood quantum is ridiculous. No ones 100% or 1/2 or .25 Native blood. That’s colonizer nonsense.

Your culture is in your spirit.

If not.

Don’t claim it until you have.

My opinion. That is all.
