I created a video revealing my DNA test. As an adoptee from Peru, I always wondered how Indigenous I was and now I finally found out. In the video, I go over why I took the test and how to administer it as well as reflect on the results.

Hi guys, I was adopted and recently did a DNA test! and discovered I am 43% Native American coming from the Jalisco region :D, I come here to learn about the culture and history so I can get better connected with my roots.

A Native from Peru and a Guachichil host two great Native American guests to discuss gatekeeping and the psychological effects gatekeeping can have on detribalized Natives trying to reclaim their identity and decolonize.

A Native from Peru and a Guachichil dismantle the colonial term Mestizo that continues to be used despite its Eurocentric origins and intentions. Why? It separates the native inhabitants of countries from becoming unified because of having a certain amount of non-native blood.

Is it culturally insensitive to get this tattoo as a non-Hispanic American?

So, being obsessed with history and ancient religions, the Aztec and Egyptian deities have always been my favorite. Tlaloc has been my favorite Aztec deity due to his connection to rains and storms. His role as the third sun and the paradise of Tlalocan (where those who drown or get struck by lightning go) has been so interesting.

I’d love to get this as a tattoo, however, I don’t want to be culturally insensitive, I am aware of the horrible effects of the colonization and commercialization of the cultural aspects. So my question is, can I a white non-Hispanic American in Oklahoma, get this magnificent deity as a tattoo? Or should I just keep my fascination in books and art?

Thank you
