God I wanna drop the "American" part so bad, there's gotta be a better word for this land. My tribe has been incorrectly named a word that means "Bean-Eater" in our language, which fucking sucks.
My family tree is a graveyard of disease and drug abuse after being genocided by America. I'm the first person in out family line to ever attend college, which I dropped out of because I couldn't afford my last semester. Now I'm drowning in debt with no degree.
Are you Tohono O'odham?
I'm not indigenous myself but I live in a heavily NA community. America constantly innovates new forms of genocide and most folks couldn't care less. It's horrific.

I'm really sorry. That fucking sucks.
My education in school was that we had a nice dinner once and then nothing else happened. :hexbear-chapochat:
I feel you on the degree. Same thing happened to me. Not indigenous though, just posting to add more comments to bring attention.
