yeah way to go. We need to educate others on how to care and treat people with respect who are disabled or different and too give a peaceful voice to empower each other.
Such natural beauty and intelligence, she has absolutely nothing to worry about. I would feel privileged.. just to know her 👱👀💕. Those who have teased her are only jealous, and foolish.
Such a gorgeous girl, with a very unique perspective on life! She's had to develop an awareness and courage that most people may never truly appreciate. I hope she's doing well.
My dad has what is called "Piebaldness" he is also deaf (from birth) unlike albinism he has blue eyes and white hair (also from birth) he certainly is special to us and our family.
My mother was White with Polish and Irish heritage and my father had Native American heritage (Ojibwe). My father’s Ojibwe roots came from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and up through Canada. I'm mixed with both races. It is very hard being mixed when you have Albinism. I'm proud of my Native American heritage from my father’s side. Native American people suffered a lot and are still suffering to this day, regardless of what tribe they're from. To add to the complicated mix, I was born with Albinism. I have no pigment. People with Albinism are often shunned, beaten, tortured and killed for their body parts in different parts of the world. It's real. It's currently happening in different countries around the world. I'm so glad I'm not living in one of those countries. I'm not ashamed to have Albinism. It makes me feel better that I'm not alone. It's educating society and the world about having Albinism.
That is true that Chippewa is a white term for Ojibwe. When I was growing up, my family grew up in a very white world, even though my father and his family had Ojibwe heritage. I just started finding out about this stuff in the last 20 years when my mother started researching our family genealogy.
Thank you for making a video on this important topic! I wish and hope to make services better so people can have the tools they need to be what they want.
You must stay strong don't let any one says negative to you gets you down even the goodies stupid idiot worthless teachers ,if they tried to discourage you!
I thought albinism was common in the Hopi community. Wouldn't they have a way of accepting or explaining it since it's something that's been happening for years? That's sad to hear that they aren't as accepted.
I went to head start with her n we never picked on her because she albinoism we accepted her like she was family she probably doesn't remember me , O.j., aleana, skyler,
I believe that the so called "white race" originated from albinism and that my very distant and ancient ancestors had albinism. Even the Torah points to that being the case. I also believe that the so called "Aryans" of the ancient Sindhu people of the modern nation of India, descended from people with albinism. Not being able to do hard labour in the sun due to severe sensitivity, those ancients with albinism, I believe, must have naturally had to turn to work indoors, in the arts and science, as well as mysticism and spirituality, being the very first in those fields of study. A plethora of knowledge and wisdom we now have those ancients with albinism to be thankful for. Eventually developing into the organized religions of today, with Semitic roots obviously originating from the Sindhu. The ancient Sindhu culture was the first large civilization, with only Sumer predating it, yet Sumer was not very large.. more or less a city. Very ancient roots in albinism... if I am indeed correct with my theory. And, of which I am extremely proud to be a part of.
No, the white race as well as virtually every other race aside from africans definitely originated from early modern humans(africans) breeding with neanderthals, which is why every racial group except for africans have traces of neanderthal DNA. Albinism is not a frequently occuring condition, it's not really scientifically feasible that an entire race could be created by chance from one infrequent condition occurring repeatedly in mass numbers.
The only issue with this theory is that white people can have albinism. The genetics of albinism are different than the genetics that cause pale skin in Europeans. There are many difference between just having fair skin and having albinism. 1. White people can tan. If white skin tone and albinism were related, then the fair nature of white skin would be connected with not just reduced melanin but an inability to produce melanin or a reduced ability to produce melanin when exposed to the sun. 2. White people can also be albino. In fact, albinism is more common among non-white groups like Africans. If being white was due to being descended from a group of people where almost everyone was albino, then the occurrence in people of European descent should be very high compared to the rest of the population. 3. Some forms of albinism are associated with comorbidity, such as the vision issues in OA1 and OCA1. If being white was related to being of descent from populations of mostly albinos, then vision problems related to lack of pigment, especially OA1 that only affects the eyes, would be much more common. Like most phenotypical traits, fair skin in Europeans was related to a variety of interplaying genetic shifts over hundreds of thousands of years including admixture with neanderthals, the admixture of the various groups that migrated into Europe that just happened to bring in the right mix of genes to include fair skin with blue/green eyes and blond/red hair, and adaptation to an environment that favored these traits. If Europe had been tropical, then even with the above influences, Europeans would not have the fair complexion they do, which can be seen in Mediterranean ethnic groups, who are much less fair than Gaelic, Baltic, Teutonic, or Slavic people. That said, there is still no not to be proud of being albino. Albinism is a rare genetic change that leads to a unique and beautiful phenotype. It is something that unites people of all races and ethnicities. It in now way reduces the way someone is able to contribute to society or be a lovely person. It's just not the origins of the lighter phenotypes associated with people of Indo-European descent.

That's my sister, I'm very proud of you Paayesnom 💙
Ash M You are both very beautiful
That's awesome.
Askwali-kwai i fell in love with the Tucson community for being so accepting and nurturing.

We love you sister... you are Hopi, you are you no matter what others say. Stay strong and prosper.
She's gorgeous ❤❤❤
Right on Paayesnöm! Love you sister always and forever! Love your brother, Taaweseoma! (OJ)

I’m Hopi/Chemehuevi and experiences a lot of this growing up because of my albinism 💜 Proud of you! If you ever want to connect let me know.
Great vid. Spreading positive awareness is key.
Like a white rose blooming on a scarlet rose bush... Still a beautiful & sweet rose.
She Walks In Beauty.

Chippewa is actually the white term used for indigenous people in that particular region. They refer to themselves as Ojibwe.

Sadly, most tribes lost many of their cultural values after the European invasion. Her lack of acceptance is unfortunately a direct result of that.
I am OCA6 albino and my son is OCA3 !
love you sis ❤❤
I have the same condition you, im cherokee, from the long hair clan
Thanks for showing people white arrogance. Anything else your dumb ass wants to poke fun of.
I went to head start with her n we never picked on her because she albinoism we accepted her like she was family she probably doesn't remember me , O.j., aleana, skyler,
Hi! This is OJ! Thats our sister!

I swear she's just taking advantage of the reservation. I'm just kidding of course but she looks so freaking white.
So rude
