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.
