she is for sure native american
besides who are you to judge and say she isnt???
Don’t get me wrong- she’s awesome. And super-pretty. But EVERY person in America with no idea what their TRUE ethnicity is tries to claim they’re Native. Usually “Cherokee,” and almost always from their grandmother some generations back. Unless you’ve got a tribal i.d., you know- proof, than don’t try to claim you’re part of a people who don’t need to be bled out any more than we already are. C’mon- get your own damned identity. Speaking as a full-blood from a REAL tribe -with a TRIBAL I.D.- it’s really friggin’ offensive. We’ve had our country stolen and are nearly extinct, and are, in truth, the rarest breed. Leave us our damned identity at least. And for fuck’s sake, all the black people in America need to shut the fuck up about opression. If you’re in America, you’ve got nothing to complain about. You are no longer enslaved by anything other than yourselves, and you are NOT entitled to OUR land. The only people here who should be getting acreage and mules are US.
relax your tits native americans werent only in north america they traveled to south america and central and puerto rico ,… i have native american particulary Tainos of puerto rico nobbady wants to steal anything from you and plus you get cheap cigarettes you should be happy =)

is that the stepfather or her biological father? i know the biological father left her when she was a kid but i don’t think he came back into her life, i think thats the stepfather that took care of her.
her dad (step dad??????) is looking good for an old man.
