#Repost with @bigindiangyasi “She’s your half-sister? Wha??? How can you have half a Sister?” This was also a piece of the conversation we had with @mcremle & @mamamintdiva yesterday on Breakdances With Wolves—it’ll be out in a couple of days. Please tune in, download, join the convo. This is something that Natives do that is SOOOO gorgeous; is it a survival thing or is there another explanation? It’s beautiful. Of course, white supremacy is powerful & there is a pull from white culture called “assimilation” to see a nuclear family as “normal,” or “real family,” and there’s definitely Natives who experience that as well…that’s legitimate and peace to those Natives who see half-siblings or step-children or whatever. But I honestly believe that a good portion of our super power as Native people is to experience our families simply as “family” with no disclaimers, conditions, halfs, steps, 2nd cousins 8 tunes removed, etc. I think that is one of the things that makes us uniquely us. Love you all, you’re all family whether you know it or not. #Indigenous #Family #HalfOrNot #YoureStuckWithMe #Podcast -- source link
