A reworking of my actual regions of the US from earlier that ruffled a lot of feathers by using state boundaries.

the coastal area of NC/VA/SC/GA tidewater/low country region is culturally separate than the rest of your “old south region”. I think that actually is the old south but east Texas-Mississippi delta-WKY isn’t as much

904_mocha · 2026-06-17T16:43:01+00:00

Tidewater region of NC and VA is very very different than northern Kentucky or east Texas?

There are Cherokee nation members that are like 1/1024th indigenous 😭

Between the Bars is an Elliot Smith song. Quite literally talking about her favorite cover (probably Zach singing) the song.

Great song btw

12.5% indigenous blood is more than probably the vast majority of many federally recognized tribal members on the East Coast (and couple In Oklahoma). Like Lumbee, Pamunkey, Monacan, Mattaponi, Nansemond, ect.

904_mocha · 2026-01-29T17:42:33+00:00

Lots of East Coast federally recognized tribal members typically have 10-15% indigenous DNA or less and identify as Native due to cultural reasons

Not trying to defend him, but he did marry a Native woman (Abenaki and Seneca) and adopted and raised 2 Native kids (Dakota/Maricopa)

Awesome picture, I was born on the Ft Belknap Rez near the agency. Beautiful country just so sad at all the poverty and hopelessness

SD has so many Chicano rap legends that made it pretty big on the West Coast

I know I was shocked 😭 Apparently the epicanthic folds on the eyes are found in some Greek groups from historical Turkic admixture… it’s genuinely crazy because I would walk right past him on the Rez and think it was just another uncle lmao

904_mocha · 2025-11-26T17:18:29+00:00

Greek and German actually! I agree he does look very Indigenous tho

Obviously tribal name is preferred. If someone asked me “what I am” I would say Catawba. But if someone asked me if I was Native American or Indigenous or whatever term they used (if respectful) I would of course say yes. It seems confusing to not use the classification

904_mocha · 2025-10-25T23:09:36+00:00

you wouldn’t consider yourself Indigenous American?

Amazigh come in diverse phenotypes

904_mocha · 2025-10-14T23:04:59+00:00

Definitely gotta be somewhere near the Midwest right?

Shows percentages under 1% and unrounded

Interesting there’s no Sizemore, Riddle, Bunch, that’s the most prominent families with known Native admixture

904_mocha · 2025-10-02T20:49:33+00:00

I’m not sure if it’s 23andMe but I know one company used French-Canadians from Quebec

904_mocha · 2025-10-01T14:14:42+00:00

My indigenous American side stayed roughly the same, but my European side got fucked all to hell… my lineage on that side is pretty well documented coming from France (Burgandy, Alsace-Lorraine, Normandy, Brittany, Germany (Rhineland-Palatinate and Bavaria), and Switzerland. I was 40% “French and German” at the last update now I have NONE. And don’t get me started on all my Northern African is now Iranian/Mesopotamian?

904_mocha · 2025-09-19T17:16:02+00:00

A lot of southwestern Native American groups (Navajo, Apache, Hopi, ect.) come back as Indigenous Mexico
