Afro-Native Identity

This video is great. It addresses dual identity and the struggles that Native African Americans go through.
We live in a world were your race, ethnicity and culture are all identified by the color of your skin. The video speaks about how Native African Americans have a hard time proving their authenticity. Regardless of how much they know about the culture...ie ceremonies, songs.
This video gives a whole another perspective on "mixed blood" and the difficulties on keeping both African American identity and Indigenous identity alive.
Lastly the hardship of being accepted into the community, whether it be the African American community and having Native Pride or being accepted into the Native Community and being Native American. These are all situations that need to be thoroughly examined.
