I hate it when commencement speakers make it all about them.
And Ms Salunas is incorrect. I am a Native American because I was born here to two US citizens
If she is trying to talk about indigenous people those are known as First Nations
“If she is trying to talk about indigenous people those are known as First Nations”
They’re known as Indians.
Stone Age aborigines don’t have nations.
Leftist “Latinos” think they’re cute because they can play the “indigenous” card, and when it’s convenient for them flip it to play the “Latin” card.
I remind them all the time that Latins overran the “indigenous” populations and conquered them. Even blanketed them with their language and religion.
Salinas is a leftist stooge in need of a history lesson.
Didn’t all humans move to the Americas?
“I am a Native American because I was born here to two US citizens”
Perfect, thank you. That’s the problem with the left trying to classify everyone as immigrants. I am not an immigrant either, although my mother came here from Italy. But that doesn’t make me Italian - I am 100% American.
I’m native American. I’m not an immigrant.
