The black Americans suing to reclaim their Native American identity

Givin the recent debates and discussions regarding black identity, it compelled me to wonder about reservations and blacks, and discovered issues exist even with Native Americans quite by chance.

This article was very interesting to read involving the Creek Nation and noticed that even with Native Americans, there is little known history to be had here as it applies with the need for cultural identity and recognition.

The thing I want to discuss is the issue of identity and place. Is it important to keep things like this preserved in view of history, or should there be a more homogenous solution that would eliminate the need for identity and the associated issues that comes with it?

Either way its thought provoking.

I can't comment on this. I think you need to be a descendant of slaves to be able to explain what feelings of identity you have in that situation. Is it common to feel part of your identity is that of the past owner? I can imagine it might be, seeing as your own was largely stripped away by being treated like property, rather as a child given up for adoption may have split identity, but all I can do is speculate.

Things sure do get complicated.
(Took me much reading to state something so controversial & insightful.)
