    As a full blooded indigenous person the news about this completely sucks

    The message is …

    • being full blooded means nothing
    • being successful and having money means you can say do and become whatever you want to be

    This revelation doesn’t say that much about Santamaria … it says so much about how everyone doesn’t really care about full or mostly blooded native individuals.
