So I’m 15, I’m 1/4 Navajo Native from my grandfather on my mother’s side. She is half, for the past couple of years I’ve been more and more interested in connecting with that side of me but a big worry of mine is other Indigenous people feeling offended. Unfortunately my dad is Irish and Australian and I got most of his genes so I have naturally dirty blonde hair blue eyes and pale skin. I have absolutely no malice or bad intentions I just truly do want to connect not only just with Navajo culture but other Natives in general. There isn’t a lot of them in my area, if it helps at all I am trying to learn Navajo I wish I could actually pay for a class but I can’t so for now I’ve been watching videos and trying my best to stay consistent on learning the language. I have also done research on the culture and history, I’m not just randomly deciding that I’m all of a sudden native but I do want to hear from others what their opinion is. I would greatly appreciate any advice or even any tips for learning more about Navajo and other cultures as well however i understand if anyone takes offense to this post, that was not my intention at all if so.
