      Yall ain't native. There isn't much. Calm down and stop believing the BS.
      There are more UK who are native mixed from genuine horrible history than any American.
      And that's less than 1%
      If yall really cared, you'd show up to us. Not look in the mirror twirling 🙄

    I live in Canada but it's the continent of North America. The term has evolved from indian to indigenous to first nations peoples here. We wouldn't use the term native american but the brits do. People here will self identify as cree or dakota or dene or sioux on the prairies. My 4th great grandmother was first nations but I wouldn't claim that as my heritage. That's a very sensitive subject here.

    • @nicolad8822
      @nicolad8822 Рік тому +4

      I don’t think they used Native American in the programme, just in this title. I don’t think he was claiming it as his heritage, but if I knew I had this history I could still be proud of her survival and interested in knowing more.

      I am Cree from Sucker Creek First Nations, Metis and British ancestry. You are right about claiming Indigenous identity as a sensitive topic especially as many of our parents, grandparents ect were denied the rights to this for over a hundred years. I live in the UK now and I have met a couple of people who have Indigenous ancestry from both Canada and USA. They don't claim to be Indigenous but are very proud to have that in their bloodline like others who are proud to have been connected to a royal family members hundreds of years ago. I see it as being quite the same

      There's a big difference between a 4th great grandmother and a first generation great grandmother. After 4 generations you're barely native anymore.

      @@jenniferdaniels701 But these are in Canada. So they are First Nations aka Indigenous Canadian. Americans don’t realize that Matouski, as a Cree woman, living in the Northern reaches of what was then Upper Canada would not have been “American”. Nor would she have considered herself as “Canadian” (or British”, for that matter). She wouldn’t even have considered herself to be “Indian” because that was a term used by whites as a an umbrella term for the Indigenous peoples on North, Central, and South America, aka The Americas… She would have identified herself by her tribal affiliations, not even as “Cree”.

    • @nicolad8822
      @nicolad8822 Рік тому +1

      How tribal would she have been? It was well into the 19th century with a few generations of mixing and settling? They were baptising them in the church, teaching them to read and write in English and French. They would have been marrying partners also of mixed heritage.

    I’ve never heard of this person. I’ve been in touch with shows all my life and I’m 55 years old and the last 10 people on the show I’ve never heard of. Where do they get them from? The producers of the show must use people they know and their age group. I have a feeling someone’s making a lot of money by going back and showing old shows.
