raggedy cottage and garden: Indian ancestry vs. "Indian" ancestry.....

Indian ancestry vs. "Indian" ancestry.....

Note: I have explained how we took a DNA test in our home to determine ancestry and it is apparent that there is in-fact Native American ancestry in our home. I ALSO have relatives who are within biological 2nd cousin range, some of whom I grew up around (NURTURE), so I notice the middle-eastern features in man/woman/child much more readily than a person who doesn't have such relatives. Another family member took a DNA test and that family member does in fact have JEWISH ancestry in the DNA, but didn't grow up around the JEWISH culture.

I don't think that there is anything wrong with ANYONE because of their ancestry/heritage. That is a CRAZY idea from HISTORY......and I hope it stays in HISTORY!

I love all family members!

There are other family members that have African-American ancestry (through in-laws).....but that is a topic for another day. I don't think it would be right for me to talk about this aspect of humanity suffering if I didn't grow up around it.

Both the singers in the video above have ancestry that is NOT 100% white. Which is also apparent in their features. If they are in the third or fourth generation removed from their ancestry the features wouldn't be as apparent, but they would still be there. There is no "gregorian calendar" that can make a person 100% white, by time energy and space engineering, even if they are mostly white. It is like telling the big-dipper to look like the constellation aires....the location and features can't be interchanged. Can a person tell the eagle to behave like the raven? No. The creator made the features unique.

From time to time the Latino (south american) culture can get lumped in with the Native American culture and features, due to various things. Perhaps some misunderstandings.

Anyhow, if someone says, or family rumor says, they have "Indian" ancestors, a person could be talking about the country of India (which is a country in the middle east), or they could be talking about "Native American" ancestry, which is anything from the Caribbean into Mexico to Alaska. All share features that is apparent according to their culture and DNA. BUT some people CAN get confused and not KNOW what their true identity happens to be! So don't judge them on that!

The Jewish ancestry has a definite "tone" that would make a person know what a person is talking about when they say they are celebrating the Holiday of Puriim. and rightfully so, because of heritage. It is a definite "middle eastern" holiday and has definite "middle eastern" history associated with the holiday. Within the book of Esther, the country of INDIA is mentioned. So the "indians" participated in this event historically. Ravi Zacharias has very middle eastern "nature" to his features and definitely has "Indian" ancestry.

The languages and culture of the actual NATIVE AMERICANs is totally different than the INDIANS. They may not be as "academically inclined," not because of "laziness".....but because of desire for making the CREATOR happy, instead of MAN happy. Happiness comes from good character in accordance to what the creator requires from man, not from "educational" achievements particularly. The NATIVE AMERICANS did go through a serious "genocide" problem because the "white man" wanted to turn the Culture of the people over into more "western features." The people from INDIA, did not go through this issue unless they moved INTO Germany or "white man" areas during the time of people judging people and persecuting people based on their ancestry. The people of INDIA have more tendency to associate and even LOOK like Jewish people as some Jewish people have married and lived among people in INDIA for a long time.

The Native Americans can get "confused" with Asian cultures by language features. A person from the "Philippines" and who knows Filipino, may assume you are talking in an "Asian" language if you are actually speaking in a "Native American" language. The "Native American" language was not allowed in the "school systems" during the boarding school era because the schools were determined to "westernize" the Native American children. People from INDIA ARE allowed to speak and read in their own indigenous tongue so long as they are not persecuted by "Muslim" extremists or other religious extremists.

Essentially, the FALSE sorts of Christianity ended up persecuting the Native Americans AND the people of middle eastern decent (anything from Jewish people to people from India) in some way or another, but the style and type of persecution was different. One moved INTO the indigenous lands and messed up the tribal way of life, the other assumed that person of a certain heritage is ineffective in building up the "good" of society.

******

All in all, the issue of Native origin, and issues of life, isn't resolved entirely by one's DNA......it is only resolved by REDEMPTION.

A person of Jewish (middle eastern) Ancestry can commit crimes against humanity just like any other man. Money seems to be the ROOT of it......to keep people "quiet" about various crimes. (This is why we NEED the bible....so people KNOW the story about what happened to Tamar.....then fruit is actually the feeling of LOVE.....)

BUT a person's DNA and heritage can make people suffer variant forms of persecutions, bullying and other sorts of misunderstandings in this world.

A person of middle east decent can have fairly high "language" skills and awareness, but inside there could be something missing. They may assume that this or that will fix this issue (money, sex, drugs etc), but in reality the CREATOR gave the redemption.

The language and expression of the Redeemer may sound different from the way things are described by the people from Middle East.....
