AOC says she had ‘awakening’ about her indigenous heritage at Standing Rock in 2016
She’s gone from woke to “awakened.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claims she experienced an “awakening” and got in touch with her indigenous ancestry in 2016, while demonstrating against the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.
During a lengthy Instagram story Q&A session Saturday, the left-wing lawmaker spoke for roughly three minutes about people native to the Caribbean, known as Taíno, and the Americas, stressing that many Taíno ways are still alive and have not been entirely wiped out by European colonization.
“I really, really feel you, and understand you on this,” AOC says in the video, in response to an unnamed self-identified Boricua, or Puerto Rican, Bronx resident who said they “want to learn more” about their Taino ancestral traditions. “In fact, I feel like one of the things that first started awakening and connecting me deeply to my indigenous heritage was connecting with the Lakota Sioux at Standing Rock.”
Ocasio-Cortez — who has represented parts of the Bronx and Queens since 2019 — expressed gratitude toward various indigenous people for welcoming her when she protested against the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline in North Dakota.

Congratulations you idiots in NYC, you elected a wacko who is never in your city much less your district and instead thinks being in elected office gives her the right to tour the country on the taxpayer dime like Hillary did when Senator of NY.
What has she done for NYC? Nothing. NYC is going through a crime wave, murders, robberies, rapes every single day, multiple times a day and she’s playing Pocahontas in North Dakota making sure gas prices go up even higher.
So I should just awaken my Scottish heritage after watching Braveheart and start wearing kilts and playing bagpipes (I know the timeline fit those don’t match).
She’s the new Pocahontas.
Standing Rock was a big leftist propaganda operation. Flavor of the day for sure.
Soooooo, the dope who likely 98.6% Conquistador identifies as indigenous.
Okey dokey then.
She’s like a typical high school student, or first year college student who understands only a small amount about an issue but becomes a ‘believer’.
Fruit. Cake.
It’s terrible what her ancestors did.. to her other ancestors.
Some of my genetic heritage goes back to the Iberian Peninsula. Where do I apply for my special privileges and victimhood certification?
I want free college, free wifi, free rent and a special month.
This would be comparable to my declaring that my Romanian cultural re-awakening occurred when I was kissing the Blarney Stone in Ireland.
Same continent, but entirely different cultural realms.
Regards,
AOC = Always Obnoxious Citizen
Descendent of Hernando Cortez?
Like most Puerto Ricans (including Mrs. Clemenza) AOC probably has both indigenous and African ancestry. However, as any true red person would tell her, there is a big difference between actually being Native (where’s the tribal enrollment card?) and being a person of native ancestry.
And yet there’s no denying that she has inherited a Stupidity Gene.
The idiots are the ones who are all in for “identity politics”. I worked with a Hispanic man who proclaimed that AOC was a “strong Latin woman”. He and other voters like him are completely delusional.
She’s friggen Puerto Rican and as American indian as I am.
AOC may have had a Reawakening but she is still braindead.
Only took her 6 years to remember ,LOL
