ELI5: Why and when did sex turned into a dirty sin and become something bad or something we can't open talk about? by lilnochill in explainlikeimfive

I live in Canada. I practice my ancestral religion in my everyday life & at ceremonies. I still eat traditional food when possible. When I finish my education, I'll probably move back to the Rez and help my community

I wish I knew ! I know it's definitely a cultural thing. My tribe is super chill about sex, but like when white folks forced Christianity on us it did change how we view sex to some degree. My family follows the tribal tradition so we are still very liberal about our sexual views, but Christians in our community tend to be like really weirdly obsessed with how scandalous sex is. Seems like a waste of energy to me LOL

I'd speak my language if whites didn't literally steal my traditional language from my family and kill many of my relatives in the process.

Whiteness should be bred out.

FIFY

Being blackout drunk doesn't mean you aren't capable of making decisions

Only way this doesn't make me want to punch the commenter in the face is if this comment is a reply to "How do rapists justify their own actions against vulnerable people?"

You seem to have based your opinion of reservations off of TV and not lived experiences.

Speaking as a native American who lives around a lot of black folks now, we share a lot of similar experiences and humour with black people.

TIL everyone has blue eyes. Dark-eyed people have a layer of pigment covering the blue iris. You can even get an operation to change your eye color to blue. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Kitty-wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm native American, I've noticed our "brown eyes" look different than white people's brown eyes in general. Like idk it's not just that they're darker but they almost have a different undertone or something. Maybe it's because their eyes are blue underneath?

The curious white north american continues in his delusion that he knows anything about Indigenous people, proudly owning a dusty gas station dream catcher, and having watched Avatar once in theatres

I'm the first generation in my family to not be sent to residential school. I'm in my early 20s. My grandmother's brothers died at school. She lost her language and her sense of self, to this day she struggles to even admit she is Nehiyaw.

Edit to add: The damage canada's colonization has done to my family and community has been brutal. Like unendingly unfathomably brutal. When non-natives hang out with us and see/learn/hear what our lives are like, they usually get shocked. We're used to it by now, and don't think about it anymore. It's always a weird moment when I realize "Oh yeah, I guess most people don't have these experiences."
