    Looks like poor blacks who bought some clothes from even poorer Native Americans . No different than blacks buying clothes from whites and wearing them . Someone took a picture and now blacks are using the photo to say they are native in classic case blacks trying to culturally appropriate Native American history and culture .

    Shalom my fellow niiji’s! Overtime whitewashing of bloodlines and infiltration of indigenous American Indian tribes Happened. This was an intentional agenda to exterminate and erase indigenous melanated tribes. We are not black Americans, black, nor African Americans, we are Indigenous AmerIndian aka Niiji’s aka the Original Inhabitants of Amerique/Amerikaan/Turtle Island … black is a color, and a color that still doesn’t identify us and our origin … have you ever met a black person that’s actually the color of black? I have seen and have all shades of brown in my family of Indigenous AmerIndians but not black lol, so that’s the first reconditioning that must happen of our people is to stop identifying as “black and African American (unless you were a 2nd generation African born in America) and no I’m not self hating, I’m just research to understand that black doesn’t represent our heritage or nationality. I know and understand the truths passed down in my family though about being AmerIndian and Cherokee blood, and Seminole and Choctaw blood. Next issue to resolve is knowing that the $5 Indians aka Mongolians aka Euroasians aka Europeans calling themselves the Native Americans as we know it today and receiving benefits that actually belong to us are false and have stolen our heritage just like everything else appropriated off our people, and those oppressors obsessed with oppressing us…this is why they now make it hard for many of our TRUE tribal people aka blacks to get their tribal acknowledgement while a lot of current chiefs look straight Whyte and/or European, ain’t no way I’ll ever believe they were the originals, and too much proof they aren’t…but the greatest threat is our unity and always has been, when the colonizers saw us living abundantly with the Earth then, they knew our people were super unique, God’s children, living with nature, farm cultivators, innovators, medicine-men/women, resource-rich, strong family ties, warriors, Royalty as Queens/Kings, and wise leaders, they wanted that for themselves and so they learned our ways enough to deceive us out our land, tribes, schools, medicine, crops, education, traditions, spiritual practices, and families. All indigenous people of the Earth are dark skinned and copper toned people since inception, I mean we are all shades, that’s the beauty of our uniqueness but to say we all come from Africa is that ridiculous PanAfricanism agenda by Marcus Garvey and pre-dating him to help steal our land even to the point of further attempting to displace us from our homelands in the Americas as if Africa is the future and going to the motherland BS but America is my home/is rich in resources right here/America is my future and home, all you have to do is trace your family tree 4-5 generations back before you get a DNA test since even the agencies you test through have disclaimers that those DNA tests are for entertainment purposes only, all they want is our money because they know we are waking up and therefore would be driven to test ourselves to discover our identities however you have to really ask yourself do you really think the oppressors would easily give you information that could expose their lies and deceptions which is connecting to lining their capitalistic pockets? They will continue to feed us what they want, not what the full truth or even half of the truth is that we need right now, so many people who traced their family trees prior to getting DNA tests saw the discrepancies in the accuracy of the data coming from the DNA agency so I suggest people trace their family trees first, and believe our ancestors when they say they are American Indians and even when they know the specific tribe you descend from, BELIEVE THEM, don’t believe your oppressors history books, newspapers, nor media they feed us. There’s tons of proof in this Age of Info, info that dates back to even the 17th and 18th centuries depicting our people as American Indians prior to reclassification as blacks/negroes/Mulattos… our hair, bone structures, features, traditions, music, foods, fashion, jewelry, ways of living with the land/Earth were very very distinct, and so this is why oppression began knowing that we are the original people of Gods beautiful …but God prophesied this time and age clear as day in the Bible also, this truth will set us free and empower us as a people to reclaim our heritage, richness within ourselves, and elevate back to within our natural way of living/being with Earth, as always we must lead the way and start by spreading this info amongst our people to rise up more of our people in this awakening … the 400 year enslavement ended in 2019 and ever since the level of exposure of the lies, deceptions and misinformations a speeding up and happening more frequently. We are a strong people, and nothing will stop God’s timeline … I’m so proud of who I am and my people, love ya let’s keep the true movement going! #Niiji1love 🪶🪶🪶🏹🏹🏹 #wearetheniiji’s not blacks…Yah Bless!
