- Our project is about blood quantum and self-identity. We hear how people in the Native community identify themselves. Some people struggle with their identity and what defines them. In this video, we show different opinions on whether or not people should get identified by blood.
Horses, dogs and Indians. That really lit a lightbulb in my head for how dehumanizing blood quantum is
4:42 he has a really good point...especially with native americans procreating with non native americans (native american dna diluting over the generations til eventually becoming 0.1% native american) our existence would end up being snuffed out...Also the elder 5:56 has a point and totally agree with her. P.S. I harbor no hard feelings toward people of european culture (only racists I hate racists!) in fact I love all cultures! I'm just someone who wants native american population to thrive and progress with the rest of the world 🌎
Why does the audio drop out with some of the interviews? It doesn't take a genius to figure this out and correct it. This is important information. Its a shame we can't hear it.
Sorry that you are having trouble hearing some of the interviews. I listened to the video and although some of the clips are low, I didn't notice any of them completely dropping out. For all you filmmakers out there, make sure you get good audio! it's hard to fix it later. thanks for watching.
I see all these comments about there being no audio in some places. I just watched this again on youtube from my computer and i could hear everyone. So I am not sure what is going on. I will try uploading again just to see if that changes anything. Thanks for watching. www.migizi.org
Please share the names of the songs used in the video..

So basically stop having babies with people who aren't Native. It may sound dumb, but I guess that would help. That's what it makes me think of.
There are lots of full bloods in the central american migrant caravan that President Cheeto is wanting dead before they have gotten half way across Mexico. If you marry one of them, they become USA citizens.
THANK YOU!!! we are assimiliating just by having babies with non natives. Have you seen the white CHerokees?
i'm hispanic and i think that im more native than them
@@kaministquiamahackamack336 by definition, those migrants are not American Indians. Sure they have ancestry native to the continent of America, but their ethnicity does not fall under the legal definition of what an American Indian is. American Indian is the legal term for indigenous tribes in North America that had treaties with the US government.
I'm 1/3 and I have 2 other siblings but I came out brown and they came out white. At school, we went to an all Native school PK-12 and my brother was an athlete so he fit in he looks like a white native my sister was called white I was just another student because I'm brown. Are we still considered native to other natives?
dude, this is cool
thx
Blood matters because if you keep marrying European then eventually you are much more European than indigenous. My great great grandpa was indigenous and it showed in my grandpa but after that many generations of European blood insure would not consider my freckles self indigenous. My husband has a grandma that was indigenous and on his mom side he is Jewish. Our son is often mistaken for being Mexican and out daughter is fair, blind haired and blue eyed
Just my opinion and this goes out to all people, whether mixed or not: I just think its better to identify with the ancestry that reflects your physical appearance to avoid confusion.
For Tribal members who don't look natives, that's ok - just say that you are mixed, at least you are a tribal member.
If you have a 3/4 white ancestry and looks white, then identify as white.
If you are 1/2 white and 1/2 native and you exhibit both appearances, then identify as mixed white and native.
No need to complicate things ✌️
And there are maaaaaaaaany of us. ✊🏼😡
My people
Blood quantum doesn't matter, if you have any Native blood and you feel the call to the native path then you are native.
I am white in the mornings and black in the evening 😎
Well I guess that's the end of the true native American since the real race didn't matter and there for finishing the mission of erasing our race.which is why we were forced to lose our identity in white man's school.
so can i "feel the call to the japanese path" than i am now an ethnic japanese person? LOL i magically turn asian because i feel it?
no volume
please edit this video!!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!
you meaan so it's shorter, or to make the sound levels better (I am trying to find the original edit file so i can make adjustments).
Half of the people you can't here what they are saying,you can only see their lips moving.

you don't need to accept what they consider what blood quantum is defined from their tribe interest, if your 1/4, 1/8, 1/8, 1/2 and another 1/2, if your mother and father agrees your 100% tribal blood of various different tribal family ties, but still 100% Blood quantum, and I didn't say white or any other different blood but if any blood quantum interest is conscious made by staying with Blood tribal marriage,... then it should be respected as a 100% in retrospect of your past family ties. The respect is in your healthy living not based on hate through quantum mixing. that isn't been the way of our teaching or upbring!
All these outside problem began once we we Quitor turned away from using tribal naming ceremonies, warrior recognition, Honorarium of tribal passage, by listening to Indian agency genocidal policy,.. Departmental Indian agency destroyed traditions, that have guided for thousands of years, now shame rules and enforced if you don't side with the Indian agency style, which continues to destroy traditions, burying traditions right out existence through arguing them with your own family ties, even if they cause you indifference, traditions should reign supreme over Indian agency policies,.. renewing traditional recognition system naming warriors, rights of passage becoming of age, ceremonies, ceremonies and,.... not Indian shame through the Indian agency,... time to accept our good with the bad, because that makes us stronger, not better,.. traditions makes us better,..
the end of indian people is inter-screwing. The bottom line is money and benefits, especially xasino jobs, bennies. saying otherwise is blatant lying. mixed bloods are always saying this shit. be proud of that irish blood. Fuck that fake identity ' crap.
N Kel tell me when the money and benefits show up, because even if I was a card holder and did receive benefits, I'd still be proud of my culture. And yeah, I have Native in me, and I have Irish in me, but I have always taken pride in my native culture. You sound stupid as fuck.
We are all the accumulative genetic product of our ancestors. For instance, most people enrolled in the Cherokee Nation today are primarily descended from Scottish, English and Irish people, and they are primarily monolingual Anglophones. But their chosen identity is Cherokee nonetheless. It's a personal choice which ancestors you identify with and which ancestors you ignore. Oklahoma has had numerous politicians, including the current governor, who identify with one remote ancestor who was not British or Irish.
If you’re born and raised in a tribe that’s who you are it’s that simple...
so if i'm raised in China among Chinese people i am now a Chinese person? LOL no...id be a native who lives in China. period
Michelle French smh. You do know what a tribe is? Right? For explain I am Denesuline because I was born and raised in a dene tribe or Dene Community aka the Rez. Plus both of my parents are dene too. Now what’s your tribe?....
@@dn2ze mohawk. one of the six nations of the iroquois--bear Clan
@@dn2ze if your parents are Dene than of course you are. Now, if your great great great great grandma was a "little bit" somewhere Dene in her pinky toe or was a "cherokee Princess" like half the white American population seem to claim, then no you would not be. you would have SOME indigenous ancestry but wouldnt' actually be Native. I have African somewhere back in my line like 8 gens.....i am NOT a black woman. I don't know that experience and it would be ignorant and probably offensive for me to even claim it.
Michelle French you do know that my dene language is part of Athabaskan language family tree right? Which is similar to Navajo and Apache of America and yet I am from Canada. Now why is that? Believe me I am not mixed as you assume.
And just because someone is brown of full Indian decent DNA and belong to a tribe doesnt make them Indians....umless they speak the native language then THEY are wannabes and as guilty of pretrnding as a pure white European. How can you claim to be native if you dont speak the language. Language is where the culture is stored. It's like watching modern day europeans claim they worship Odin....its just as silly. If you loved your cultures you would learn the language and if you dont have the dedication to that then you dont care and are just a full DNA native but still a rez living wannabe....im a quarter native and my entire family speak Cherokee....including my very light children.
I don't need a quarter native telling me a full native that I'm not native. Learning your language does not make you more native than I am and it never will.
