For my whole life I was told I had Native American blood flowing through my veins. I was told this because someone close to me also believed that native blood flowed through her. I was proud to have the tribe name attached to me. I felt it helped make me who I was. My heart is heavy that for so many years I misrepresented who I am. That I appropriated someone elses culture to be mine when indeed I had no rights to say that.
I am sorry. Im sorry for the pain this might have caused.
