Nativegirledits

I am an Indigenous woman in diaspora in the US with Maya Mam heritage from Guatemala, and I am being targeted by multiple racist accounts that target Native and Indigenous women from different parts of the Americas for speaking out against people who are racist toward our peoples for not fitting racial stereotypes. I couldn’t officially claim to be Maya until I started the process of gaining dual citizenship in Guatemala as it was not an easy process due to language loss of our specific Mayan language variation from the Guatemalan Civil War era in my parents’ region (information is verified with local indigenous authority members, family ties to a pueblo originario, and/or government documents). I’ve shared my journey online too and I’ve met many others in similar situations. I am NOT anti-black nor racist, I proudly stand by our afro-indigenous and afro-latino relatives. I need people to pay attention to these bizarre accounts making up lies about me. Check the comments and post histories of these profiles before blindly taking sides! Heck, even ask me to verify any “claims.” Chjonte (thank you, gracias)!🫰🏽
