Also a really big fan of what you've shared about your experience reconnecting and regarding Cherokee culture but that's harder to compliment in a meaningful way. Just wanted you to know

I'm glad ! Yea I'm glad I've gotten over the weird hold up I had keeping me from talking about it much. I wasn't hiding it but I felt like mentioning it out of nowhere would make it seem like I wanted attention or that I just suddenly decided I'm an authority on stuff. And I felt like with my being reconnecting I'm definitely Not an authority and so I shouldn't mention it and just let the people who know better be the ones to talk. Or that it's inappropriate for me to talk about it or do art inspired by culture stuff because im reconnecting, it's just a mess but I'm chilling out finally lmao. I'm just getting started on the journey too and I'm so excited to keep learning!
