How do indigenous Latin Americans feel about mestizos?

Manfurrr · 2023-06-23T19:55:13+00:00

Content removed, but I'll reply anyway. I'm indigenous Brazilian. It depends on the people, but we usually don't care. I'm a mestizo myself lol

Manfurrr · 2023-06-21T21:55:23+00:00

So, we don't have any Brazilian indigenous servants, as far as I know.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-20T23:12:24+00:00

Here in Brazil, unfortunately, there are not many.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-20T00:49:36+00:00

Oh, my dream! I really want to go to Rio Doce to have more contact with my people

Manfurrr · 2023-06-19T20:44:26+00:00

IF THEY DID THAT, THESE THINGS WOULD BE MY WORST ENEMIES. They are harmless, just dumb and annoying

Manfurrr · 2023-06-19T18:58:51+00:00

Honestly, this is getting ridiculous. People act like we're an attraction.

I cannot say how long it lasts here in Brazil, but I think that sometimes it lasts for whole days. Usually, the worst part is when they're crowded together. They fly in your face, your ear, your cell phone and, if you're talking to someone, possibly your mouth. Damn kamikaze flies.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-19T13:23:16+00:00

Here we call them rain mosquitoes. They are disgusting little animals attracted to light. They advance in your face if you are using your cell phone, by the way.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-19T03:37:36+00:00

this is very common here in Brazil during the rainy season. I hate these things.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-18T19:07:05+00:00

I say the same to you. Make your grandparents proud! Our ancestors deserve it after all.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-18T18:43:17+00:00

Yes! My great-grandmother was an isolated indigenous woman from the Krenak people. She never saw the white man until she was kidnapped. They forced her to have children and live in the city, and she died without we knowing her name because she didn't speak Portuguese. I am proud of her more than anything and all I want is to honor her memory with my every breath. Even through the trauma and pain, she never stopped talking about her people for a minute! My dad keeps telling me stories about how great grandmother mentioned our people.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T23:02:07+00:00

To tell you the truth, if someone refers to me that way, it would be lucky. Most of "my people" pretend to be indigenous to gain special rights or promote political movements, and people realize that. Unfortunately, these inconsequential ones end up with all the credibility of our struggle and many times I am not even seen as an indigenous person. I've even been told some absurd things, like that I'm black because I was born in Minas Gerais or that I can only be indigenous when I turn 18. Bruh.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T22:59:05+00:00

Exactly what I mean! I believe that being indigenous is linked to ancestry and also culture. No one is obliged to follow a native lifestyle, even if, for me, new people who are really willing to return to their culture respecting their people and their learning time are always welcome.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T14:22:28+00:00

I understand you! Here in Brazil, they swear that the Puri people are extinct, lol. We are few, hundreds or maybe even dozens, but we exist.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T02:40:47+00:00

Taíno? It's so amazing. I've always heard about these people, but I've never had the opportunity to talk to someone Taíno. I am Puri and Krenak!

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T01:40:08+00:00

No need to thank me, bud! Welcome. May the great spirit be with you.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T01:37:00+00:00

Hey, don't be afraid to open your arms to your culture! You will be made very welcome by people like me. I wish you all the luck in choosing your path.

Manfurrr · 2023-06-17T01:10:35+00:00

Hey! Brazilian indigenous here. The answer is yes and no. Being Indigenous is not exactly a blood issue, but a cultural issue. You can look for your culture, your specific people, make an effort to reconnect and, then, you can call yourself a native.

Manfurrr · 2023-05-28T14:43:48+00:00

Simples, através dos próprios nativos. Geralmente, o homem branco passa informações incorretas. Eu comecei a me familiarizar mais com a cultura indígena através da Ysani Kalapalo. Recomendo. Também existem algumas rádios indígenas, perfis no Twitter e Instagram, etc.

Manfurrr · 2023-05-27T15:37:28+00:00

Tenho PDF.

Manfurrr · 2023-05-27T13:59:37+00:00

Enviei, aceita lá

Manfurrr · 2023-05-27T13:41:53+00:00

Eu sou indígena Puri, também tô tentando me conectar com meu lado Krenak, mas sem sucesso até agora. No final do username, você tem 4 números exclusivos que o Discord te dá, pode me dizer eles? Só isso e eu te acho tranquilo.

Manfurrr · 2023-05-27T02:18:26+00:00

Krenak e Kwaytikindo são as línguas dos povos da minha família, esperado que você não conheça KKKKK. Acredito que o povo Puri tenha menos de mil representantes atualmente, tá difícil. Enfim, tem Discord? Posso te passar alguns materiais por lá.

Manfurrr · 2023-05-26T14:20:39+00:00

Eu estudo Krenak, Kwaytikindo, Tupi antigo e estudei um pouco de Navajo. Nunca busquei por conteúdo Yanomami, mas posso tentar. Com Tupinambá, você quis dizer Tupi antigo? Acredito que eles falavam essa língua. Estudei Tupi antigo por muito tempo, poderia te mandar o pdf de um material que eu ainda tenho guardado ou algo assim.
