   Background   
   08 Jun 20 20:48:51   
   
   So, I just learned that my birth mother (I was adopted) was Native   
   American/Arapaho affiliation. It’s a long story, but she recently passed   
   away, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to speak with her. I did learn that her   
   mother was Arapaho and her father    
   was half Cheyenne half Irish. I’ve always felt that I never really belonged,   
   not knowing who you are or  your background, isn’t a nice feeling. But now   
   that I know, I’m trying to learn everything that I can. It’s overwhelming,   
   I’m not sure    
   where to start. I’d really like to connect with other Native Americans/   
   indigenous peoples (was that PC?) sorry if it’s not 🥴. I haven’t been   
   able to make any connections, there hasn’t been much receptiveness. Any   
   advice or guidance is welcome.
