Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Saturday her connection to her "indigenous heritage" was awakened while protesting the Dakota Access pipeline with Native American tribes at Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

Responding to a comment on Instagram, Ocasio-Cortez said she wanted to connect more with the ancestral roots of the TaΓ­no, an indigenous people group of the Caribbean, and that American Indian tribes welcomed her as family.

"One of the things that first started awakening and connecting me in a deep to my indigenous heritage was connecting to the Lakota Sioux at Standing Rock," Ocasio-Cortez says in the video.

“It really just clicked that this is nuts, like, the grace that they extended to say ‘no, you are a relative,’ was really formative for me. While we may not be and come from the same exact lineage, there is a commonality to that ancestry. And it’s important for us to recognize that we were raised and we were told growing up that we were extinct, that Tainos don’t exist, and it’s really important for Puerto Ricans to understand that that narrative is being challenged right now.”

Why, yes. Native Americans, especially of the Southern variety, have such fond memories of the name Cortez.

Someone should tell her the Betachuchi Lizard has ties to her indigenous spirit and if she meditates on it for 6 hours a day the Lizard Spirit will connect with her.

Maybe her and Elizabeth Warren can go to a teepee retreat and meditate together and commune with nature or something.

Yes, the Taino of the Caribbean had so much in common with the Indians of the American Great Plains. Kind of like my Danish ancestors have with the people of Sicily.
