Hour 3 – not Indigenous enough

not Indigenous enough!

DONT

don’t speak ancestry language

don’t have dark hair

don’t have the right coloured skin

don’t know about culture

not Indigenous enough!

YOU

you white women

you shouldn’t wear that

you shouldn’t be here

you pretendian

not Indigenous enough!

LISTEN

listen for drums beating

listen when the wind blows

listen when elders teach

listen to Creator

not Indigenous enough

not Indigenous enough

not Indigenous enough

not Indigenous enough

This plagues my mind….

It haunts my heart…..

MY SOUL SCREAMS!!!

ENOUGH!

DONT YOU LISTEN

TO THOSE LIES!

ITS TIME TO DECOLONIZE

THIS MINDSET DIVIDES OUR COMMUNITY

FUCK JUDGEMENTAL ASSHOLES

THEY DONT KNOW YOU

WE ARE BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM OTHER NATIONS

STOP BLOOD QUANTUMING

SUPPORT EACH OTHER

RISE UP

STAND TALL

BE STRONG

BE RESILENT

I KNOW WHO I AM

I FEEL THE BLOOD OF THE ANCESTORS WITHIN

I AM TRAVELING MY JOURNEY

I AM PROUD

I AM LEARNING

I AM CREE

I AM METIS

I AM ENOUGH

I AM INDIGENOUS!
