Subreddit has done more to promote a twisted image of Indians on internet than anything; even if a part of Indians on FB is true, generalisation of the 1b+ population is not cool along with harassment of people in posts.
2024.05.22 01:27 kindaaddie How should I claim my heritage?
Hi everyone, I had a question I wanted to ask and this seems like the best place for it. Growing up, my family (moms side) has always adopted Cherokee traditions and culture. My grandma especially is very indulged in it; she knows quite a bit about the culture, speaks some of Tsalagi, told us about the folklore, and has taught her children and now my moms children about the culture. Not to stereotype..but majority of my family do have sterotypical Native features: High cheekbones, thick dark hair, dark skin, dark eyes. However...
Whenever she got a DNA test done years ago, it only showed up as 1% Native. I tried tracing this back but I cannot find my ancestors on the Dawes Rolls, Indian Census rolls, etc. I've heard that sometimes Native people would change their names or simply not sign these documents..could that be possible?
Something I DO know is that my family is from Appalachia, if that is at all relevant. I also know that some of our DNA comes from Ireland as well.
My point in saying all this is to ask how these questions:

My point in saying all this is to ask how these questions:
- Should I ignore the Native parts I've grown up with and are included in my everyday life? I myself have not taken a DNA test but I know that it would show up with 0% Native DNA on it, so it feels wrong to celebrate that ancestry.
- Should I only claim the Irish part of me?
- How far back does Native ancestry have to be in order to celebrate Native DNA?

2024.05.21 21:44 KingSam89 Book Giveaway
 | What's up my Edgars and Sucias? I just finished reading this book and would like to give it to someone else to read (as is my tradition). submitted by KingSam89 to SanAntonioCircleJerks [link] [comments] It's regarded as the greatest piece of fiction ever authored by a Native American and it was a great read. Since this is SA you might be like me and have a vague awareness that your ancestors were native but no connection to the culture or it's myths because of the brutal eradication of it by colonizers, I'd love for you to have it and read it. The older I get the more interested I'm becoming in learning about native culture and feeling a connection to it. Felt like someone in this community might be on that same kick so wanted to give it to someone in that same boat. This isn't a light read as it deals with it's white/indian protagonist returning from WW2 where his friends and brother were killed and trying to get over his PTSD. Also willing to give to anyone who identifies as GringX because DEI matters. Comment or DM me if you want it. ♥️ Your gay mod. |
2024.05.21 21:36 PrairieChild Some thoughts on race/ism in our state
South Dakota has its own particular brand of anti-Indigenous racism, and this is my take on it, as a white resident of Rapid City who lived on the reservation for over 20 years. To wit:
With some exceptions, most white South Dakotans are not openly and aggressively racially hostile. The days of “No Indians allowed” in shop windows are thankfully in the past. But a more pernicious strain of prejudice still permeates much of the culture. You hear it in conversations (or, at least, I do, when white people talk openly around me, assuming I am of like mind) and you often read it in social media postings, especially on news sites.
I’m not sure what to call the attitude in question, maybe “performative sympathy” or “passive-aggressive patronizing.” Basically, it’s when somebody laments how Natives in the state can’t “get it together,” can’t “get with the program,” can’t “get their lives on track,” can’t “give up alcohol/drugs,” etc. etc. (By “the program,” they generally mean assimilated American society.) This is usually couched in faux concern, as if the person saying it is genuinely puzzled and sorrowfully bewildered at this predicament. Often, a sad shake of the head will accompany this pronouncement.
The person in question, of course, rarely gives a care about Native people’s “plight,” and these pat statements are just a way of saying, “Oh well, what are ya gonna do with those folks?” and distancing oneself from the situation, shrugging and moving on to a happier topic of conversation. Why can’t “those people” get it together indeed?
When it comes up in a convo that I’m a participant in, I do my best to bring up the history of how things got to where they are today. I’m a history teacher, after all. I’m well-versed in the subjects of manifest destiny, colonialism, broken treaties, and the like. Usually their eyes will start to glaze over or they will start fidgeting and shuffling their feet, uncomfortable at the way the conversation is going, their mind doing its best to reject input that contradicts their view of the world, no matter how diplomatic and non-preachy I’m being. It’s not the tone that intimidates them and puts them off, it’s the very subject itself.
More often than not, after I’ve had my say, they will just mumble something along the lines of, “Yup, I don’t know how those people will ever get it together. It’s too bad,” as if I had never said anything. People’s sincerely-held beliefs are incredibly difficult to dislodge, as we all know. And being brought up white in South Dakota, unless your situation is significantly different from the norm, you get the same whitewashed story over and over, at home, at school, at church. You’ve heard it your whole life, and doggone it, it didn’t include big fancy words like “colonialism” that make people feel bad when they didn’t do anything wrong. So, the mind shuts out the competing information, stays closed.
And here’s the big secret that maybe you already know: If you don’t believe that history in any way informs the present (because it was “so long ago” or whatever), then the only other option is to – consciously or unconsciously – blame the people themselves. Think about it. If history doesn’t matter and generational trauma doesn’t exist and everyone is born at the same starting line, with the same obstacles stretching ahead of them in life, then the only possible blame for people not succeeding individually or collectively HAS to fall on the people themselves. This is the most pernicious aspect of South Dakota racism. At its root lies a belief that the reason why Native people have higher incarceration rates, lower graduation rates, higher rates of substance abuse, etc. etc. etc. is that the people themselves are somehow defective, somehow lesser. Lesser than whom? Lesser than the white majority.
This is white supremacy in one of its purest forms, but most people don’t recognize it as such. This white supremacy doesn’t necessarily wear a white robe or burn a tiki torch (although look at how they vote and they’re not far off), but it is an unearned superiority complex than many whites learn from a young age. “I don’t know what’s wrong with those Indians. What a pity,” with the implicit understanding that “we” are superior. How else can you explain our demographic superiority? Of course, you and I know the answer to that.
This is one of the single greatest obstacles to race relations in the state moving forward and true understanding and reconciliation happening. How can you understand a people when you see them as faulty, unable to progress, victims of nothing but their own indolence and failure to thrive? You have to put the blame for their lot in life squarely on their own shoulders because to do otherwise would mean interrogating your own state’s history and country’s history in a way that you can’t bear (not you, of course, innocent Reddit reader).
But you don’t want to hear about broken treaties. You don’t want to hear about stolen land. You don’t want to hear about historical trauma. You don’t want to hear about boarding school abuses. You just want a nice story where progress has always progressed and the white man brought the light of civilization into a dark continent and the light of the Gospel to the heathen. “My country, right or wrong” is just another way of saying that you take no responsibility for your country’s wrongs.
And “That was a long time ago” is the great hand-washing, the refrain of a people who dare not look into the mirror, dare not teach what really happened in the not-so-distant past. And so, you have a state where nearly all of the positions of power are held by whites, in government, business, school boards and administration, as well as nearly all the wealth in the state, all the best land, and you wonder how things got to be that way. But then you stop wondering because the questions it raises are too challenging. “Why can’t they get it together,” indeed.

2024.05.21 20:57 darkmeowl25 The "dirt mall"
There's not a lot that she does that gets my goat, but the title of this video really did it this time.
Old Paris Flea Market in Oklahoma City has been a staple of the area since the 1960s. It was once the old GEX store that became the flea market when that went out of business.
Old Paris isn't the tidiest place, or in the most affluent part of town, but it is a cultural staple in the city. One of the investors happens to be the owner of Chileno's where our favorite pair of simmers ate dinner just the night before.
Old Paris is THE quintessential melting pot of commerce on a weekend morning. Native, Hispanic, Nepali, Indian, and Black owned businesses make up the lion's share of vendors in the mall. There is a knife maker who has been selling there for decades, and a really hip retro antique booth. She even took time to mock the handmade incense sticks at the market. I guess she just really likes to pretend she's spiritual without ACTUALLY supporting the culture that brought her the ever so precious "incense of the day".
Long story short, Cindy is free to keep her high falutin' gutterfun in Arkansas out of our flea market. Is it glamorous? Are they selling the most high quality products? No and no. But it's ours, damn it. Take your coke zero minis and scamper back into the mountains, Cindy. Go on now, GIT!

2024.05.21 20:42 TasteSolid5666 How capitalists and religious majorities are ruining scientific field.
Hi there atheists and buddhist chaddis (who larp here for validation)! Last time I wrote an effort post on how capitalism manipulates the masses to support capitalists.
Today I came up with another not yet effort post.
How capitalism and religious majorities (the religion which has majority population) are ruining scientific research fields.
Most of it is taken from this video on youtube. The Problem With Science Communication - YouTube
PS whenever I say scientists/researchers I am always referring to scientists/researchers all over the world.
It says that whenever there is a research conducted on some specific topic by researchers we can see the articles with some bs headline like "Scientists put apple in chamber which travelled back in time" and when you open it. It says only few things about where research is going on completely off related things to the headline. Not specific about the research. The reason is as I said in last posts, media houses are owned by few people who want to make profits. The journalists will make money when they get views on articles. So articles have such clickbait titles. And the researchers allow that because they need funding. So more the article gets views, more their research will be famous, more they will receive funds for their research from the other or same capitalists who own media houses.
This is bigger than that. Capitalism is explained above. Let's play whataboutism like chaddis and ask "What about religious majorities who are ruining scientific research fields?"
Capitalism and religious majorities go hand in hand with each other. Capitalists impress the religious majorities with their "culture" talks (especially in India) and the religious majorities become their loyal customers. Example "pee"tanja LeeCooper claimed Pure cow ghee and ayurvedic soaps which made Indian audience crazy and gained loyal customers through bs.
So religious majorities are important, and no one tries to piss them off. Not even capitalists and only reason being manipulation.
How is it related to scientific research? Well, you can see recently many govt research institute chiefs and researchers and scientists linking everything to scriptures. This happened in past in Europe during Gallileo's time. All researchers were doing the work "in the name of god" while one guy managed to piss the whole church society off with 7th grade thermacol model of solar system.
I am not claiming that our scientists are fooling or adhering to the masses' beliefs, nor do I claim them being religious. I have no idea. And these are the only 2 reasons which explains their behaviors. Either they want to keep doing their work or the recent chaddi movement has spoiled their mind. Anything is possible.
So scientists appeal to religious majorities in many different ways. Eg. naming of Higgs Boson particle nicknamed as "God particle" by the Leon Lederman (Nobel Laureate) which was also criticised by Peter Higgs himself. https://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2009/may/29/why-call-it-the-god-particle-higgs-boson-cern-lhc
Appeal to masses ensures safety and incoming funds for their researches. If capitalists provide funding to aunti nashional paxitan scientists who pissed of majority, then these majority won't buy their products/services.
Journalists want views, capitalists want profits and majorities want regular nutting and dopamine rush for their ancient knowledge/culture. Scientists (not Indian scientists but all over the world) ensure all of this and conduct research to do something better for society.
Again it's hard to tell about Indian researchers at this point since all of them are referring scriptures and I don't know if they're appealing to masses or seriously going through brainrot stage. If it's the first case, then continue. Otherwise, we are in danger.

Appeal to masses ensures safety and incoming funds for their research. If capitalists provide funding to aunti nashional paxitan scientists who pissed of majority, then these majority won't buy their products/services.
Journalists want views, capitalists want profits and majorities want regular nutting and dopamine rush for their ancient knowledge/culture. Scientists (not Indian scientists but all over the world) ensure all of this and conduct research to do something better for society.
Again it's hard to talk about Indian researchers at this point since all of them are referring scriptures and I don't know if they're appealing to masses or seriously going through brainrot stage. If it's the first case, then continue. Otherwise, we are in danger.
2024.05.21 20:27 blackhawk767 Hear me out... Fallout: Montreal (Canada)
I get it, everyone has thoughts on the next setting for the next fallout game, with great ideas. Florida, Detroit, New Orleans, New London etc...
And, I know and heaagree with the arguments that the FO games are intrinsically set in the US, filled with songs, cultural references and americana. However, I worry about large intellectual properties falling into creative bankruptcy (see: Star Wars where every movie has to have the force, light sabers and darth vader). Fallout (some would say) has to have the BOS, power armor, lasers, death claws etc... But I think my idea allows the lore to open up while still having a lot of things hold true to the series.
Fallout: Montreal would allow the flexibility of barely going over the edge of what is known in the fallout world that allows some more creativity and lore to explore.
Canada was annexed by the USA, so technically would still exist in the country. However, being a relatively new addition and the regoin gives some creativity opportunity:
Multiple cities: Quebec, Montreal and Ottowa
Geographic variability: Niagara falls, rivers, forests, old US border
History: Continued FO4 themes of American revolution with the 1770's-1780's US invasion, or explore French and Indian War (aka Seven Years War) or War of 1812
Factions: Potential to have components of the enclave or original US army as remnants from the invasion. Possibly Quebecois/French influence (one of the first times overextending out of English/American).
And most excitingly, the potential to hint at or develop some influence/lore from the European Commonwealth that lingers in Canada. This allows the player to learn more about what else happened to the world, what or if there is anything that still exists outside of the old US borders, all within the still game historic focus of setting within the USA.
Appreciate any feedback or thoughts expanding about this.

2024.05.21 20:24 klintparse Indian/Chinese Wedding(s) Planning
Hey everyone, my fiancé (Chinese) and I (Indian) are trying to figure out how to best integrate our cultures. We both went to school in ATL and it’s relatively easy access from where we both grew up, so we definitely want to have a wedding there. The only issue is that the majority of our extended family is in China/India, and they can’t all make such an expensive trip to the US. My mom really wants me to have a ceremony in India (or somewhere relatively cheap to go to from North India) so that my relatives can attend, but I also want my fiancé’s relatives to be able to attend. I am worried that if they are not able to fly in to India, would it be awkward that only pretty much the bride’s side is present at the wedding (outside of some direct family of my fiancé)? How would this affect the wedding? I know how big Indian weddings are; I occasionally go to India to attend them. Of course, we would make a separate trip to China in that case because it’s important to me to meet all of his relatives. He’s not super traditional so he hasn’t mentioned anything about a Tea Ceremony, but I would want to accommodate that as well if his Chinese relatives wanted it.
Thanks!

2024.05.21 18:42 commonllama87 (as an ignorant American) What are relations like between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Kolkata today?
Recently, I have been listening to a podcast about the partition of India and learned about the massacres going on in that period including Direct Action Day. Not knowing much about Indian history , I knew there were some divisions between Muslims and Hindus but not to that extreme extent. Going to college in the US, I had two close friends from Kolkata, one Muslim and one Hindu and from an outsiders perspective, they seemed exactly the same culturally.
I am curious, how are relations between the two communities today? Are there "Muslim" and "Hindu" neighborhoods? How much do the two communities intermingle? Is there still animosity between the communities?
I know this is a sensitive topic so I hope I framed this in a way that isn't offensive to anyone.

Hi Ladies,
For the past few days, I see a lot of negative things about India and Indians on different country sub reddit.
How they hate them , take up jobs etc etc. Somehow they conveniently forget the narrative that most of them come with qualified jobs , there are government tie ups to bring in more doctors and engineers etc and the rest who come most of them are given visas to go to other countries. Of course I recognize there are people who may abuse the system but that is not the majority and they are not committing crimes like the settlers ancestors.
How do these people forget the atrocities they committed in all the other countries and the country they now call their 'home land'. These people talk about a certain dominant race in one country becoming a minority and how that is a threat? How do they have this audacity to say when they almost killed the aboriginals in millions, robbed their cultures and wealth all around the world, raped the women etc etc and now they are no where to be found?
This does not make sense at all? what sort of entitlement is this? and to make matters worse some Indians just add fuel to fire unnecessarily.
How do you navigate with this negativity and hostility online? I worry for the kids growing up, I do not know how to prepare them for this shit thinking?
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
PS - I am not looking for comments justifying the hostility because on no grounds it is justified.

2024.05.21 17:08 samurai13100 Advice wanted: Unfinished map and the choice of scenario
 | Unfinished map submitted by samurai13100 to AlternateHistory [link] [comments] Basically the title, I started making this map a few hours ago and I want some advice on how I can make the map look better, should I make the terrain greyscale, make the states' colours more desaturated, etc. Currently, the colours for the Aztec empire is basically:
Currently, I'm thinking about making the map based on two scenarios. The first is basically what if the Ming Dynasty discovered America, made the regional powers in the Andes and Mesoamerica their tributaries which help them expand through giving them access to favourable trade permits with the Ming and so gain new technologies. The second scenario continues my Sunrise scenario/posts from long ago and would be set in the 1920s, the Pre-Columbian Empires are falling apart and their colonies are breaking away, to keep their hold on world hegemony, The Aztecs and The Inca (Maybe the Iroquois? Should I add them to the map?) form a military alliance to retake old land/colonies and put down the states that stirred up nationalism in the said colonies. Lastly, if I make the map, should I add a box beside the map that states the context or have it as a comment and if I have the context, should I state everything in either scenario like a history textbook, should I turn it into something like a story like my previous posts on Colonisation of China. |
