NATIVE AMERICANS UNAWARE OF IDENTITYA survey for the 2010 Census was taken among our people to see how they identified. Esto es prueba que nuestros pueblos Nativos Americanos, los que hablan espanol, les faltan conocimiento de sus raizes nativas. Cometemos el gran error de identificarnos como Latino o Hispano. Somos nativos de este continente. Para el Censo de 2020 markan Indio Americano/Nativo Americano!The confusion is also visible in the question of race and heritage. The Census Bureau is insisting on forcing people who speak Spanish to write in Hispanic or Latino, which are European cultural heritages. Most of peoples in the so called Latin America are of Indigenous (Native) and African heritages, and the mix of both with others including Europeans, Asian, Arab, etc. But we ignore our true heritage, due to the Euro-centric educational system and a racist corporate media. We prefer to say we are White instead of accepting our true heritages, because for many is painful and even shameful to remember who we are. We can all win this debate and put it to rest when we acknowledge our true identity: Native American! We are Turtle Islanders, the original people of these lands. White peoples will say "deport these immigrants, these illegals, these Hispanic foreigners" easily and won't even be questioned. But once we begin to identify as Native Americans, they can't declare "Deport these Native Americans!" It wouldn't make sense and none of us would go for it!We're the majority here on our homelands. Europeans constantly attempt to turn the tables in their favor through their use of confusion accusations and attacks: they call us wetbacks, illegal aliens, immigrants, undocumented, foreigners, outsiders, trespass, Latino Hispanic etc. when in fact all these terms apply to them. They operate on such a long time scale and keep us under constant pressure, we lose perspective in evaluating phenomena and end up accepting it as a valid part of this reality. WE MUST OPEN OUR EYES! WHY ARENT YOU RECLAIMING YOUR HOMELANDS??? it's because you've been tricked into accepting a fake identity! Your homelands extend from From Inuit Lands to Mapuche Lands; from Alaska to Patagonia!!!You get to claim this ONLY if you claim your Native Identity!! If you consider yourself Metis, Hispanic, Latino, Mestizo get the F--- out, you are calling yourself an immigrant from Europe. You have NO land rights here. You are homeless!! You are a sellout to wasicu supremacy and inviting them to manipulate and abuse you and your family and steal your homeland. And you are leaving the weight on the rest of us to fight the fight.The 2020 Census can be a turning point where we shift the narrative from the false immigration debate, where we have a weak position, made to look as if we're intruding into someone else's home uninvited, to a truthful Indigenous rights issue where we have the moral high ground because this is our home. We must stop claiming the racist terms of Mestizo, Metis, Immigrant, Latino, Latina, LatinX, Hispanic, Minority, or Illegal Alien! White people gave you these labels for a reason: to manipulate you, making you feel inferior by calling you an immigrant and an illegal alien in your own home, in their attempt to SEVER OUR ANCESTRAL TIES TO OUR HOMELANDS! In the meantime these same people that label you as Metis, Mestizo, immigrant, illegal, Hispanic, Latino ETC, are doing so to take full advantage of your ignorance. Its pure strategy to erase the brown peoples from reclaiming America as their true homelands. OUR JOB IS NOT TO CONVINCE EUROPEANS THAT WE'RE NATIVE AMERICANS, OUR JOB IS TO CONVINCE OURSELVES THAT WE'RE NATIVE AMERICANS!White people have manipulated us throughout our generations via shaming and terror to give up our true Native identity and our rightful place on our homeland ihn exchange for a fake, phony race to fool us into believing we're immigrants and illegal in our own homeland. They have made fools out of us as they laugh all of the way to the bank stealing our land and wealth.We give our power away in exchange for NOTHING because white people shamed us into believing that to be "Indian" is to be dumb, poor, ignorant, stupid. Today in the USA the opposite is true. Your ONLY power lies in accepting your true racial identity as Native--Not Hispanic, Not Latino, Not Mestizo, Not Mixed, Not Mexican and thus Not Illegal, Not Alien, Not Immigrant!!!Stop begging them to let you stay in their home and clean their toilets because you are good people. That is a losing and powerless approach. Start demanding the right to be in your own homelands as living, breathing Brown Natives. We are the majority in our homeland and have the power. We just have to act like it.If there's a billion dollars of your money lying on the ground unclaimed, ONLY a fool will leave it there and allow others to freely claim it. Same goes with your identity!
