#all while being Latino and Fijian decent
Text
Having many family members who are of vastly different cultures and ethnicities is fun and all until they get to you and ask what you are.
#like culturally I’m Native American (Cree. Mi’kmaq. Dene. and Taino)#like my Caribbean chapan literally passed down her family’s spiritual traditions#so uh. ceremony is a bit different#ethnically I think I’m just indigenous#but like it changes drastically for my parents#my mom is native and Asian#while her mom is culturally Asian and native#dad is native#while his mom is French and native#his dad is native#all while being Latino and Fijian decent#no joke I have cousins who are actually from fiji all thanks to my third chapan#and the thing is that they all passed down stories and cultures#they just stopped when residential schools became mandatory#so the cultural practices and family history all stopped with my grandparents.#my parents saw the remnants of it#they just weren’t told anything#it was a whole can of worms we unleashed#coming from generations of mixed people is difficult#but it definitely makes a cool story!#like a whole family album would be insane to look at
