On Sunday I went to go study with my friend at her college and instead was humiliated. The guy checking IDs at the gate was fine until I handed him my tribal identification card (Cherokee Nation). He then told me I had to leave, yelled at me and threatened to call the police. 1/pic.twitter.com/femuJdLvy6

He became very hostile with me, started harassing me and put his hands inside my car, during which I started to record him. He told me I had to leave but he had taken my ID with him and refused to give it back until I left and parked at a different school nearby. 2/pic.twitter.com/jQEPL3SVoe

As he was harassing me, he let several people in without even looking at them fully or even requesting any form of ID. I spoke to him calmly while he unprofessionally yelled at me. 4/

Although it was frustrating to go through this I am more upset at the fact that he invalidated my government issued identification I’ve used for all my job applications, for flights, and even at the bank to withdraw money. 5/

I don’t want to dox him, however I want this post to bring awareness about the issues indigenous people of North America face, and the constant humiliation we have to endure by just existing. 6/

I'm confused. Did he think that it was a fake ID?
