Before ICE
Does anyone know where I can get more information regarding this ? I saw this on social media today and wanted to dive deeper into this. I read up on Californians “Greaser Act” which legally discriminated Mexicans of “ Spanish & Indian blood”.

Trying to figure out my CDIB
This feels like an excruciatingly basic question, but I'll ask anyways. I'm mixed Chicano/Grand Traverse Band Ottawa. I have a CDIB that I've had since I was a baby, but I don't hit the BQ for enrollment in my tribe.
What is the purpose/usefulnesss of my CDIB? I know my mom and grandma were both active tribal members when they were younger, but I have no connection with the culture and no idea where to start. I hope this isn't a dumb question, I've been on Google all afternoon and haven't really been able to find an answer.

Have you heard any stories about what dating was like for your ancestors before colonization?
I am doing genealogy on my family members and I started thinking about how my ancestors would have dated pre-colonization.
Like why did my great-great-grandma decide on great-great grandpa instead of some other guy? What did he do to impress her?
Men and women in the tribe were equals so she didn’t have to marry him. Women after colonization didn’t have much choice.
How did your ancestors choose spouses?

Jay Treaty to avoid Canadian tariffs
I’m in the middle of planning a residential construction project and I was planning to order Canadian windows… until I found out they’ll be subject to a 25% tariff.
Could some legal experts weigh in on if I crossed the border with my windows myself, I would have to pay import duty/tariffs? Has this been handled in the federal courts yet or would it be a new legal battle?
My reservation is on the Great Lakes so technically on the Canadian border.

If only people would’ve cared about MMIW as much as they’re now caring about us being racially profiled… maybe we wouldn’t have gotten to this point
I feel like I’ve been screaming for years and no one was listening.

How would Neosho be spelled in the Osage script?
Sorry if this isn't the best place for this question, the Osage sub seems to be mostly dead and I can't find good online resources for this. I see Neosho's origin (city and river) to be "clear, cold water" but using the dictionary hasn't helped me much unfortunately. Would anyone be able to help out?

Government Freeze
Hi,
I was wondering what the chances are that IHS will be cut from our funding under the Trump regime?
The federal grants freeze already has my people worried.
