"1/64th Choctaw"? Disgusting. As I've written so many times, whites' obsession with blood quantum is dangerous.https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/712104609452572672 …

Why would you publish this,
@Eli_Fieldstadt? Who are you to determine how indigenous a person is or isn't?2 replies 16 retweets 24 likes -

White people always want to determine indigeneity by their concept of race. But this case isn't about race, it's about tribal sovereignty.

If
@Eli_Fieldstadt understood tribal sovereignty, she wouldn't write a ridiculous and violent sentence like "Lexi is 1.56 percent Choctaw."1 reply 19 retweets 23 likes -

This is an Indian Child Welfare Act case; ICWA was created because whites keep stealing native babies. Thank goodness this was was returned.

ICWA is in place because native nations (they're nations, ok?!) have the right to determine their future — including keeping their babies.

Imagine someone from Italy said, "I'm gonna take this U.S. baby." Then imagine they did it for 500 years. The U.S. would be right to say no.

This is what the Choctaw Nation is saying: No. No, white people can't just take Choctaw babies because they feel like it.

Lexi isn't 1.56% covered by ICWA. She's FULLY covered by ICWA, because she's FULLY Choctaw. Not more, note less. She's Choctaw.

These mainstream, white-only articles about ICWA, Lexi, and the whole case are violent. They seek to make invisible entire nations.

@aurabogado they can't believe white is not better? My (AfrAm) uncle wasn't allowed to take his OWN child out of Alaska.#learntherules0 replies 2 retweets 1 likeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
