Native Identity/Blood Quantum
I would like you to read Fletcher and Berger, as well as watch the short Op-Doc “A Conversation With Native Americans on Race” and answer the following questions.
Explain how “Blood Quantum” impacted the sovereignty and self-determination of Native American people and Native identity as it relates to history, culture and land?
Do you believe that blood quantum as a means of “claiming” Native heritage should not long exist? If so, why and how do you propose that Native communities do this? If not, why?
Feel free to write any other thoughts about the readings /videohttps://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000005352074/a-conversation-with-native-americans-on-race.html
