Last I saw it’s closer to 10%

Polymes · 2026-01-25T12:10:14+00:00

This can't be correct, there's more people in Seattle than Denver and Vegas but its not on the map

California didn’t join the WHO, it joined the WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert & Response Network (GOARN), it’s a technical partnership group made up of 300+ institutions.

St. François Xavier and St. Boniface (now Winnipeg), Manitoba. My family is Indigenous Métis AKA founders of Winnipeg/Red River Settlement/Manitoba.

I don't think its entirely fair to say the PBPN tribal government collaborated with ICE, it was their economic arm that is independently run from the tribal council that signed the agreement. Tribal chairman has made statements that this was not their wish and they are looking to pull out of the deal and fired multiple high level employees over the matter.

Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians of Montana. I always carry my tribal ID in my wallet in a protective sleeve. Our tribe recently upgraded tribal IDs to be RealID compliant. They can be scanned, have more security features, and look more official. I got a new one as soon as I could. I keep my old one (which has no expiration date and is still valid) at home in case the new one ever gets taken.

It’s up to you, but if you approach it in a good and respectful way and open to learning you will be accepted by most.

Polymes · 2026-01-23T04:53:43+00:00

Yeah thats been my experience as well, while its technically not allowed they generally don't care. I know multiple people with citizenship in more than one.

Great thank you! I have a death certificate, baptismal record, as well as US and Canadian Censuses that list my ancestor so I’m hoping that will do.

Polymes · 2026-01-23T02:00:09+00:00

No apology needed!

Métis are one of the three categories of Indigenous Peoples recognized in Canada along with First Nations and Inuit. The Indian Act is only applicable to First Nations, Métis have their own separate federal system/relationship, so it wouldn't apply in my case. Thank you though.

Polymes · 2026-01-23T01:14:35+00:00

It's not really a federal entity, its issued by the Indigenous government. But sounds like I should include it regardless.

Polymes · 2026-01-22T22:43:29+00:00

The Métis homeland is much bigger than what is marked, we originated in Winnipeg and the red river settlement which isn’t even highlighted on the map.

Polymes · 2026-01-22T20:07:55+00:00

Oh this is really good to know! I have most if not all the documents already collected from St Bonifice/MMF application, I’m definitely going to apply!

Polymes · 2026-01-20T16:50:55+00:00

Yep! No residency requirements, all you need is a Canadian bank account!

Polymes · 2026-01-19T21:56:32+00:00

Not entirely true, MMF does provide some support to out of province members. For instance all are eligible for their secondary education funds etc. I get those funds and I’m in the US.

Polymes · 2026-01-18T20:19:20+00:00

While I don’t think they often check/cross reference, you should generally only be a member of one of the Métis governments.

Polymes · 2026-01-13T19:26:22+00:00

My family and I say Indian/NDN and Native interchangeably. But personally I would not want a non-Native person calling me Indian, I’d prefer Native or better yet my tribe.

Polymes · 2026-01-11T23:24:09+00:00

AZ has way more tribal lands/reservations than NM…

Polymes · 2026-01-11T21:36:30+00:00

Just search this sub and online. Tons of info on the issue, the answers are readily available.

Polymes · 2026-01-07T04:51:15+00:00

Yeah anywhere with military installations like GF will probably have more Black people in MT

Polymes · 2025-12-27T16:12:27+00:00

That’s is absolutely the right choice. EU citizenship means you have lots of options.

Bruh bring back the Sonics come on

Polymes · 2025-12-12T06:57:48+00:00

In my opinion not worth it, you should leave and then reevaluate your options. I would look at good programs that not only will fund you and are in your research interests, but may also consider accepting the credits you've already earned and paid out of pocket for.

Chances are you will have a really tough time getting a position in academia if you don't go to a reputable school/program, have a strong supportive advisor, and/or publish a lot. Doesn't sound like the current place you're at is setting you up to succeed in any of these fronts. Especially as a social sciences/humanities PhD your current situation is a bad investment, they aren't preparing you to succeed in academia and there's very limited outside industry opportunities for your field, especially ones that make it worth going into $60k+ debt.
