31263 -

The Indians here were the first here. US took the lands away from them

31263 - 

its hard to know your one thing but not feel enough to respect yourself as it

31263 - 

Im native. But not enough

31263 - 

understandable

23783 - 

i know my history

31263 - 

barely

31263 - 

but i dont know traditions

31263 - 

i know names

31263 - 

i used to know the language

31263 -

31263 - 

on the flip side, most people here are "generics", a mix of many things, so they don't have specific heritage

23783 - 

but i was torn away from it when i went to 1st grade

31263 - 

here as in where I live

23783 -

31263 -

31263 - 

i assume the meanings to your words

31263 - 

so I am a mixture of so many things it's ridiculous
