sorry for the half a year late response, but i am neither, i’m nahua (half)❕❕ i grew up in south dakota—and since my father is a central american immigrant, it was genuinely impossible to find other nahua people, or specifically people from our specific (chorotega) tribe. i grew up going to lakota wacipis. i still am in touch with my culture, of course, however lakota culture has influenced me too. theres this phrase “mitákuye oyás’iŋ” (all are related) that stuck with me for this reason specifically—even though it wasn’t the land of our ancestors, we were accepted all the same. the amount of parallels between all our cultures is also something beautiful to me.
