How many of you are Indigenous and what can you tell me about the Indigenous life?

>>214874496 (OP)
Most us are mestizo, meaning mixed with natives, as far as 80% or more, in western countries that would be considered indigenous, here to be indigenous is more about knowing the native language or living in a certain community with a continuous native identity.

Do you know the Nāwatl?

No, I had a coworker who spoke nahuatl and he used indio as an insult. Recently I heard someone speaking a native language on the phone on the bus, I dont know what it was but I don't think it was nahuatl.

Probably one of the Oto-Manguean languages. Very nasal and tonal in general. But there's also Totonac.

Kek I met a Yucatec Maya guy at a car show who was a huge MAGA supporter and was bitching about illegal migrants driving drunk and then switching back to speaking Mayan do his family kek

So it's basically like saying nigga for native pipo?

I think it's more of a statement of poor behaviour or against those who claim to be but have otherwise completely forgotten their cultural foundations like language.

>>214876996
No, when black people say nigga they include themselves as part of the group of niggas and it doesnt have to be negative.
He said indio in a negative way as synonim for ignorant or idiot, when people say indio as an insult they exclude themselves from the indios.

You forgot the only 99% indigenous cunt on the continent...
