100% Indigenous Canadian me listening to my light skinned city Indian cousin with 1/8 blood ancestry.
For the record, I am a 100% Ojibway from all sides from my family (there might be one European in there somewhere about four generations ago), I grew up a traditional lifestyle and my first language is Ojibway which I still speak (but I have no one left to talk to in my area). I am a big brown long haired Indian that you can’t mistake for someone obviously being different … and seldom seen as an actual Native person … I’m often told that I’m Filipino, Chinese, Japanese or my favourite an overweight Thai.
You have no idea how close to home this comic is to me.
