it is so difficult for some, unless they lack documentation, which often comes as a result of family members hiding the fact that they were Native Americans during a time when it was not so popular to be Native American. Still, my family as well as other Native American families in West Virginia and throughout the nation remained Native American despite these challenges. The Yaqui Indians experienced a great deal of persecution and oppression for being indigenous, like all other Native American people. This being said, I do not carry with me an overarching feeling that everyone, including the state of West Virginia and the United States government, owes me reparations. I believe that one cannot change the past, only the future! The respect and acknowledgment I ask of people as a Native American is something I must earn as an individual human being living today through my actions and accomplishments, not because someone owes me something because I am a Native American and a minority.

I can say with certainty that West Virginia never had 84 different permanent tribal villages within its boundaries at one particular time!I remain curious as to why the members of the Appalachian American Indians of West Virginia and the Native American Indian Federation don just individually apply for membership with their own different tribes their members say they are descended from. Why must they create their own tribes of people from different tribes? Honestly, working outside of a tribe requirements for tribal application seems quite insidious. Many people have applied for tribal recognition and been accepted. I personally know two individuals whose families have lived in West Virginia since the 1800 and they both applied to their tribes and were accepted. Why would so.

one specific tribe that shares a specific culture. This resonates in my mind as a reason why these groups cannot be tribes much more than that a wrong was committed by West Virginia against every one of the 84 different tribes or that the group states that it represents on its official webpage.

relatives were Yaqui Indians. Many Native Americans become recognized this way and don entirely understand why Nike Jordan 13

specifically in relationship to these groups requesting to be made an official tribe of West Virginia. The federal government defines a tribe as a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties with a common culture and dialect. It is obvious that these organizations are comprised of many people who may have some Native American heritage; however, they are obviously descended from many different tribes, not Nike Jordan Eclipse Price

I have been following the issue with the Appalachian American Indians of West Virginia and the Native American Indian Federation for several years now. I would certainly be supportive of these groups if I thought that they comprised a legitimate tribal entity, but their claims that their membership represent at Air Jordan Green Black least 84 different Native American tribal bloodlines concerns me Air Jordan Black Toe Og
