An old friend (Clyde Mandelin) is working on a videogame that serves as a Japanese-to-Choctaw dictionary.

And it gets way, way more interesting than you'd even imagine: https://tomatogame.itch.io/halito-tomato

Before my wife's chronic migraine, she was deeply involved in genealogy.
For my family history, she actually found where my paternal great-grandmother was on the Dawes Rolls. She was 1/4 Choctaw which makes me 1/32 Choctaw. I think I'm also 1/128 Cherokee but we can't find the evidence since that would be quite far back.
Anyway, that makes my dad verifiably 1/16 Choctaw.
What's interesting is that he took a DNA test and it found 0% Native American DNA. Genetics and heredity is weird like that since you only get half of each parent's DNA.

I'm not obscene enough to start claiming my "Native American Heritage" for 1/32 and a life that was lived entirely as an entitled white person.

The Choctaw nation has a program called ‘Beef and Pecans’. They give you Choctaw raised beef and pecans. We got 24 pound of ground beef and 10 pounds of pecans this morning. The pecans are good! #pecan #choctawnation #native

#TwoSpirit and #Indigiqueer communities mourn #nonbinary teen's death in Oklahoma

'Something that affects one of us affects all of us,' says Jade Lacosse

Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News ·

"Members of the two-spirit, Indigiqueer, and Indigenous #transgender communities are mourning the death of a non-binary 16-year-old teen in Oklahoma earlier this month.

"#NexBenedict died the day after a violent confrontation in a high school bathroom in Owasso, Okla., near Tulsa. Owasso police said in a statement preliminary autopsy results indicate the teen did not die as a result of injuries sustained in the fight.

"Benedict's mother is enrolled with the #ChoctawNation of Oklahoma and the school where the incident took place is located within the #CherokeeNation reservation. Benedict's family said Benedict experienced #bullying from their classmates due to their gender identity.

"The story has sparked cross-border reaction from #2SLGBTQ+ community members, reflecting on their own experiences as well as the current climate for #IndigenousYouth.

"'Many of us are in mourning,' said Jade Lacosse, an Anishinaabe and adopted Tlingit two-spirit trans woman in Whitehorse.

"'This was a young child that very few of us were directly connected to but they're still a relative, they are still a two-spirit relative in the way that our community sees things. Something that affects one of us affects all of us.'

"Lacosse said the statement from police appears to be about placing blame rather than taking responsibility for discrimination.

"'A young two-spirit child, one of our relations, died … and it's a direct result of #transphobia," Lacosse said.

"'The way that they died doesn't change that.'"
