Are you even native American

Hello nosey nonnie.

Yes I am Native American, but I don’t look it. And no it’s not one of those my great grandmother was Cherokee. I am 2nd generation off the rez Tuscarora, Iroquois Turtle Clan.

This is me and my mother. Yes she is my birth mother, I just got very fucked over in the genes department. I swear I’m adopted but we have many photos of the birth and have several paternity and maternity tests to prove that I fell out of this woman’s vagina.

Here are some more pictures cause I’m pale and I honestly don’t think you believe me:

(My mom actually made every piece of jewelry I am wearing and hand beaded that vest as well).

And here’s pictures of the woman that I blame for my bad genes: My grandmother.

I get told I look like her all the time AND I HONESTLY DO NOT SEE IT, but because I get told I look like her all the time I BLAME HER.

On the left you see my grandpa (full blood native) in his headdress, on the right you see my cousin (also full blood), the great medicine man Mad Bear, here’s a book about him since you seem to be so nosey.

And in case you doubted me, here are a few pictures of me when my ma and I were on the powwow circuit.

This is me with my ma’s regalia (if you call it a costume I will shank you) because a) she had a bad leg day and couldn’t dance and b) mine was not ready and made and I JUST REALLY WANTED TO DANCE. (This is also the day I got burnt ON MY FUCKING HAIRLINE WHERE MY HAIR WAS PARTED. THAT FUCKING HURTS!)

Here’s me in my fancy dance shawl. There aren’t that many pictures of me because a) I fucking hated them b) it’s normally seen as disrespectful to take pictures of dancers out of the circle without their permission and my ma and I were always dancing at the same times AND I NEVER LET ANYONE TAKE MY PICTURE AT THIS TIME IN MY LIFE.

So yes, my family is a very rainbow family, I just happen to be the one WHITE passing one. No really…

Here’s me (in the middle if you can’t guess), Bebe and Audree. I like to call this the ABC Rainbow of the Printup family (because my first name is Cheyenne…..I swear our parents DID NOT PLAN THIS). 

And this is another pic of me and Audree YEARS later

Am I Native? Yes

Do I look traditionally Native? No

Does that mean I am not going to label myself as native? HELL TO THE FUCK NO.

Please reblog and share so that people can understand that there are white passing people of color. Yes even some that pass as white as me. We do exist and no that does not give you the right to basically white wash us. I am proud of my native roots and I will share everything and anything you want to know. The more educational resources we can get out there the better. DON’T BE AFRAID TO SHOOT ME AN ASK. I LOVE IT, but please do not be a dick like this one and phrase it so accusingly. Much appreciated, thank you!

Stay away from me and the ones I love. Keep your threats to yourself. Look within your own heart and mind and remember who I am and what I am. Yes I am beautiful inside and out, yes I will take care of you, yes I can help you heal yourself and yes I will also take over your mind, yes I will control your ever move, yes you will obey everything I tell you to do and yes you will hear my trumpets, you will see my wings, you will feel my wrath throughout your body, yes you will feel the excruciating pain of sorrow, yes you will have the experience of having everything you love take away from you without you even knowing you’re the one giving it away and yes you might die from the experience or you might even live to not even know how what happened to you even happened. Never take my beauty and how fragile I am as weakness or for even one second underestimate the power that I can unleash on you. Remember what I am and what I can do I can be your friend or I can be your foe. #toe #datura #angeltrumpet #zombiemaker #mindcontrol #scopolamine #devilsbreath

SHAMANIC INTUITIVE NATURE WALK Getting outside and being in nature can be a healing experience in and of itself. Most of us have experienced the awesome effects of a walk on the beach or a hike through a forest and remember the residual relaxation that comes from being closer to the earth. Our daily lives are often set up in a way that deprives us from the essential connection we intrinsically desire to have with the natural world. I’ll take you on a Nature Walk in awe-inspiring locations in the San Francisco Bay Area and/or Sacramento area. Walks can always be modified to suit your fitness level. As with any physical activity, please consult your physician before undergoing any new exercise regimen. Most walks will take between 3 hours to 5 hours long depending on your individual needs. It is best not to rush the process so that you can receive the exact guidance and healing needed. If it rains on the day you are supposed to go for your walk you can simply reschedule for another day. What happens on the walk? I will start a casual conversation to get you more acquainted with me while we walk to an area that overlooks a beautiful view of the ocean or a river. While we are in this peaceful location we will have a deeper more empathic-intuitive based conversation. The Shamanic Energy Healing work that may include the following: Clairvoyant Reading Guided Shamanic Journey Personal Energy Field Cleansing, Energy Cord Detachment/Cutting and Retrieval, Extractions of Spiritual/Energetic Intrusions, Soul Retrieval, Chakra Alignment and Cleansing, Re-balancing and Illumination, Power Animal Retrieval and Tobacco Cleansing. For more information about each Shamanic Energy Healing treatment being offered you can simply click the link in my profile. #creatingyounow #gregcarroll #naturewalk #empath #intuitive #shamanism #shamanichealing #sanfrancisco #sacramento #depression #anxiety #relationships #addiction #lifegoals #spirituality #spiritualawakening (at Lands End)

Some days the experience of waking up can be filled with joy and others are filled with heart ache. Life can happen in an instant and be gone in one. We never know who is going to leave this planet next. Some people leave by choice, others leave by accident and some because it’s their time. To many have gone without saying goodbye or hearing that we still love them. To many people holding resentment and anger in their hearts. Not enough people saying I’m sorry. Not enough forgiveness. Not enough Love and Happiness. So today I say, I Love You, Please Forgive me, I Wish You Well and Good Morning Have an Awesome Day. #forgiveness #forgiveyourself #saygoodbye #saygoodmorning #saygoodnightgracie #suicide #suicideprevention #loveyourself #loveeveryone #goodmorning #love #happiness #resentment #anger #gregcarroll

Don’t base your self worth off of how many friends or likes you have on social media. I see to many people putting their really Personal Life events out on social media and when in their opinion they don’t receive enough likes, comments or new followers the person gets depressed or even suicidal. There’s to much pressure on the youth of today to be a certain way on social media that gives them what they perceive as their personal self worth. I’ve even seen grown adults get so caught up in it that they get depressed or even suicidal as well. It’s time for everyone to wake up and stop being so concerned with who they are and what they totally are based off of the image they create about themselves on social media. Be your true self where ever you are. Don’t always share your personal life on social media. Keep somethings sacred and private. Surround yourself with people that really do love and care about you in the real world not just on the internet. #loveyourself #honoryourself #respectyourself #believeinyourself #havefaithinyourself #stepintoyourpower #stepintoyourgrace #stepintoyourhumility #stepintofreedom #stepintoyourdivinelifepath
