"Colonization is a mental prison that draws no boundaries based on blood quantum. Full or Mixed blood, we have all been affected. The common ground we share is the history of our families having been ripped apart, our languages stolen and our cultures violently disrupted. When we judge each other based on our genetics all we do is keep ourselves trapped in a prison of someone else's making. And what is that if not a form of insanity?"
