I wasn't so proud to be Native when I was growing up.I was adopted and grew up in a mostly white community.I was called many racist names and wanted to look like everybody eles in my community and family.White,blond,blue eyes..
So reading this makes me smile..

it must have been difficult to for you to have those feelings growing up so glad you're embracing the spirit inside you now, I have four siblings 1 brother and 1 sister were always referred to as half breed to them they were fightinmg words. Even today as a adult I experience those who say you aren't native you're just a white women with words, it angers me then I step back and look at the source and think I feel sorry for you; i'm proud of who I am and of my parents for instilling the word of our the elders. It's in my soul.
