wait i had a whole rant about this i didnā€™t tag the other day because again, thereā€™s just so few indigenous people in the rtv fandom i donā€™t love the idea of talking about something as controversial as pretendians but itā€™s been gaining traction on twitter andā€¦..like if you want My Opinion As Someone With Indigenous Heritage i think brooklyn has a lot of red flags that are typically associated with people lying about indigenous heritage whether it was a family story she just never looked into or a lie she concocted herself. At the same time, I donā€™t love the idea of a bunch of people who are not Indigenous weighing in on Brooklynā€™s background because thereā€™s been several high profile ā€œpretendian huntersā€ who went after people who ARE indigenous but are basically not The Right Kind Of Indigenous and itā€™s been a massive issue in the community and I feel like if I start saying ā€œi think brooklyn might be lying about being apache and cherokeeā€ thatā€™s going to help open the door for some really racist discourse especially if she IS just part of that Not The Right Kind Of Indigenous group.
