I’m so glad that my story spoke to you! Though our stories are different, it’s so nice to hear that we have commonalities that allow us to be able to provide comfort to each other.
The Native American experience is one that I am slowly becoming more familiar with through reading and speaking with people, because for most of my life it has been extremely foreign to me. But I am so interested in learning more, in any way that I can! If you have suggestions for reading/watching/listening material, please let me know.
I also would love to know more about your experience — I’m so sorry to hear that it has been so difficult, and I always hate hearing that people have the experience of feeling like an outsider within their own communities because of hegemonic structures of persecution in the past that forced generations to hide and abandon their identities for sake of survival. Feel free to reach out to my email at egcashour@gmail.com, I would love to hear from you!!
