native here, ama

heres a free one i guess, there are no laws on my reservation and the only people who can get you in trouble are the feds, cops arent allowed on unless they are actively chasing you on

heres another one, theres a water pipe constantly spewing water into the ground that people on the rez without running water use for their houses

What is that symbol in the picture?

Cool, man. Maybe you should do something about the socio-economic problems facing your community instead of bitching about them.

It's easy to berate and be jealous. It's hard to work for progress.

How much land rent? Please cheap

>>767840470
ooga booga?

>>767841658
im not bitching, i just know most people here are not from my rez and i thought it might be interesting to know something about it. I dont mean to bitch, its not that bad here

Never got my free dinner at a casino lmao

>>767841664
its free if youre an onondaga, the nation will even help you build a house but white people arent aloud to live on the rez

>>767840933
Damn! Where I'm from security guards will arrest you for riding a skateboard across a parking lot! Yes that's illegal but they get away with it cause off duty cop.

>>767841703
ooga booga indeed

>>767840470
shekon

>>767841776
are you from a rez or do you mean in america? there is a security force on the rez but they dont do shit and they arent funded at all, they just sit in their unmarked car at the line doing nothing

>>767840470
what's ur fav liquor

>>767841927
I actually just stared drinking, i didnt drink till i was 22, but i like gin alot, my dad like beer though, nice stereotypical ingun

>>767841653
thats the six nations flag, it represents seneca cayuga onondaga onida and mohawk, and now it also includes tuscarora

another free one, onondaga rez has one of the only restaurants you can still smoke in called the firekeepers dinner. I haven't been there in a couple years but the last time i was there the smoking section was bigger than the non smoking

it was fun answering your questions, i would love to answer more

im just gunna keep going
you cant practice the native religion (longhouse) if youre mom is white, you get your nativeness from your mom so if shes white, youre white to onondagas

the words in native songs arent words that correspond to specific meanings, there just sounds that go with the song.

>>767843356
>you cant practice the native religion (longhouse) if youre mom is white

That's a pile of steaming bull. You can practice whatever religion you want to. Nobody cares about your chauvinistic opinion.

native kids ususally get a native name and a name that white people use

>>767840470
Native of what land?

>>767843501
i guess i mean they wont let you go to the long house and practice it with everyone, it is lame i think. also try lookin gup how to practice the religion online, you really would have to go to longhouse to do it and they dont accept white people. pretty lame

>>767843552
onondaga, its in centeral new york

come on, i know you guys are mostly not native, you dont have any questions? trolls are welcome

>>767843589
>and they dont accept white people. pretty lame
But why tho?
Is there something in the lore about (your particular tribe of) natives being of some kind of special ancestry?
I always figured it was kinda more hippy-naturalistic "it's all just spirits and medicine, brah".

>>767843770
its really that the tribe feel like it will be lost if they accept just anyone, they want genuine onondagas to not die off. i think its dumb because they exclude alot of natives who just didnt get it from their moms but its hard to change a traditional society

>>767842171
Cayuga here. whats yours?

heres a fun one
natives can get whats called a red card and they dont have we dont have to pay taxes. dope af yo. also yeah its funny they call it a red card

>>767843966
onondaga

>>767843735
Holy shit, fine.

What is your birth and "American" name?
What is your tribe?
How many of you are there left?
Do you contribute to your society?

Winnebago Tribe here. What you do for your people op?

>>767844057

>>767844119
nothing, i just am one

>>767844204
You native speaker?

>>767843903
Okay, I get that.
But why moms tho? Something about mothers and fathers providing different "parts"? Or mothers being the primary care givers and teachers?

Also (and don't take this the wrong way):
How's the STD situation?
I don't know any natives myself, but I have been told native teens get wild. The chicks in particular.

>>767840470
same dude, have that exact flag in my house

>>767844297
its just a matriarchal society, and im not sure about the std situation but i know that native women have the highest rate of sexual assault against them so take that as you will

>>767844736
noice, what tribe are you?

>>767840470
Will you take over your rightful clay, Red Man, or will you perish by cuckoldry towards all the other races that have invaded your home?

Native pride worldwide

>>767843735
Has governor Cuomo or any other greedy NY politician been trying to break the treaties to fuck you guys over lately?
