<span data-offset-key="1af6a-0-0"><span data-text="true">Peggy McIntosh first popularized the concept of white privilege in her now-classic 1989 essay “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack.” The impact of her essay was due at least in part to its clarity and readability; it broke down into a list of easy to understand ideas why white people have unearned advantages in society based on their skin color. Not that it was necessarily easy for white people to accept that they are in fact “more equal” than others, but the essay opened up a conversation that has gained serious traction in our social discourse.</span></span></div>

<span data-offset-key="8m03f-0-0"><span data-text="true">People who do not have ancestral connections to Native communities are all either settlers or immigrants. People with ambiguous “Native ancestry,” like Elizabeth Warren, are so disconnected from whatever Native roots they may have had that they can no longer be considered Native. Settlers are people whose ancestors who came to acquire recently dispossessed Indian lands, such as recipients of the homesteads of the nineteenth century and earlier land speculators. Immigrants are people who came later to cash in on the benefits of American citizenship that didn’t necessarily include land (but might have if they came with enough money to invest in American land). Most are settlers (also “colonizers”) or immigrants by choice, with the exception of Blacks who are descended from slaves who were settled here without their consent.</span></span></div>

This choice about what to tell our kids and when – is a privilege.<br />
Choosing not to discuss hard topics is a privilege.<br />
Remaining silent is an act of supremacy.<br />

Thank
you for inviting me. I know… I don’t think you’ve probably ever had an
Arawak speaker here and probably haven’t ever heard of Arawak speaker.
We, the indigenous people of the Americas, are refugees. We exist
despite an unacknowledged, attempted genocide. Most people associate
refugees with being forced to leave one’s country, but a refugee, by
definition, has lost their land and way of life, often through war or
genocide. There is a long history of genocidal programs initiated by the
early colonial settlers and, later, by the United States government. <br />
<br />
In
1755, the lieutenant governor of the Province of Massachusetts Bay,
issued a proclamation that called for British subjects “to embrace all
opportunities of pursuing, [capturing], killing, and destroying all and
every Indian.” A bounty was paid by the colonial government for every
Penobscot captured and brought to Boston.<br />
<br />
- For every Male above the age of 12 years, 50 pounds. For their Scalp, 40 pounds <br />
- For every Female under the age of 12 years, 25 pounds. For every Scalp, 20 pounds.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Within a year of the proclamation,
the Massachusetts assembly voted to raise the ceiling on the bounty to an
unprecedented 300 pounds. This <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bounty
Proclamation</i> was signed by Lt. Gov. Spencer Phips just a short walk from
here in the Old State House on State Street.</span><br />
<br />
At the Sand Creek Massacre in
1864, John Chivington said, “Damn any man who sympathizes with Indians... Kill
and scalp all, big and little; nits make lice.”<br />
<br />
We were marched, relocated, and
put in reserves like animals, ending up no longer being on the land which provided
all our needs… where our stories and songs came from… where our ancestors’
bones lay in the ground.<br />
<br />
In the 19<sup>th</sup> and 20<sup>th</sup>
centuries, boarding schools were established. Our children were immersed in
European-American culture. They were given haircuts, forbidden to speak their indigenous
languages, and their traditional names were replaced by European-American names
to both “civilize” and “Christianize.” 20<sup>th</sup> century investigations have
revealed many documented cases of sexual, physical, and mental abuse in these
boarding schools.<br />
<br />
In 1892, the U.S. Army officer
Richard Henry Pratt, founder of the Carlisle Indian School, said, “…all the
Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him and save the
man.” On reservations, children were taken from our homes and forcibly sent to
boarding schools until 1978, systematically destroying Native American cultural
continuity.<br />
<br />
Today in 2017,
we are still fighting for sovereignty and treaty rights; hunting and fishing access;
clean water and healthcare; and political and legal justice. On some
reservations, Native women are murdered at more than 10 times the national
average. Hollywood films, sports mascots, and many other racist images continue
to dehumanize us.<br />
<br />
On some
reservations, families live on roughly seven gallons of water per day per
person, since uranium mining has poisoned the wells and radioactive waste
leaves no clean water. 40% of the 173,000 Diné living on the reservation do not
have running water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today, in the United
States.<br />
<br />
As First Nations People, we have
been made invisible, starting with the first maps that were created showing
empty land where none of our languages or nations were identified. Towns were
incorporated without any thought to the indigenous inhabits. Each “first”
became a colonizer’s first – the first house, the first successful harvest, the
first thanksgiving, the first marriage, the first baby – while our “firsts” were
ignored and erased.<br />
<br />
How does
cultural genocide translate into today’s experience? I did not grow up speaking
my indigenous language or hearing Native Nations’ music on the radio. I did not
see people like me reflected in the literature I read, the television I watched
and movies I saw, or even on the walls of my classroom. I did not learn the
contributions of Indigenous People to this country, and certainly not the
actual history of the United States. I did not have First Nations role-models
who resisted and stood up for our culture, only those who helped the white
Europeans, like Squanto, Sacagawea, and Pocahontas. There’s nowhere in the
world where out story, my story, should even be required to be told, except
here.<br />
<br />
I’ve raised my children in a
world that has not recognized our holidays and observances… In a world with stereotypes
that have become the only way we are known and recognized… With peers who have
harassed them about their long hair… When my son was in high school, a few boys
danced around him singing, “woo woo woo.” They weren’t mimicking something they
had seen at a pow wow, they were acting out all they knew from when they were much
younger and saw movies, like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Peter Pan</i>.
The racist images of Hollywood and athletic teams have been their loudest
teachers.<br />
<br />
Other people tell our story or
stereotypes about it. We have no control over our own narrative in our own
country. I am not currently fighting for food, or water, or heat, or housing, or
healthcare, so I must use the privilege and platforms, the ones that I do have,
to temporarily, even if temporary, to stand beside my indigenous sisters and
brothers and be an ally to support their access, and all people’s, to these
fundamental rights in a country as wealthy as ours.<br />
<br />
We are refugees from our
original lands. We cannot stay silent about genocide here or anywhere, anymore.
Please consider joining an indigenous organization, like the Massachusetts
Center for Native American Awareness, to learn more about us. We’re still alive

<br />
The way to approach it, I think, is not to ask, “What would it be like
to be black?” but to seriously consider what it is like to be white<span class="text_exposed_show">.
That’s something white people almost never think about. And what it is
like to be white is not to say, “We have to level the playing field,”
but to acknowledge that not only do white people own the playing field
but they have so designated this plot of land as a playing field to
begin with. White people are the playing field. The advantage of being
white is so extreme, so overwhelming, so immense, that to use the word
“advantage” at all is misleading since it implies a kind of parity that
simply does not exist.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
It
is now common—and I use the word “common” in its every sense—to see
interviews with up-and-coming young movie stars whose parents or even
grandparents were themselves movie stars. And when the interviewer asks,
“Did you find it an advantage to be the child of a major motion-picture
star?” the answer is invariably “Well, it gets you in the door, but
after that you’ve got to perform, you’re on your own.” This is
ludicrous. Getting in the door is pretty much the entire game,
especially in movie acting, which is, after all, hardly a profession
notable for its rigor. That’s how advantageous it is to be white. It’s
as though all white people were the children of movie stars. Everyone
gets in the door and then all you have to do is perform at this
relatively minimal level.<br />
<br />
Additionally, children of movie stars,
like white people, have at—or actually in—their fingertips an advantage
that is genetic. Because they are literally the progeny of movie stars
they look specifically like the movie stars who have preceded them,
their parents; they don’t have to convince us that they can be movie
stars. We take them instantly at face value. Full face value. They look
like their parents, whom we already know to be movie stars. White people
look like their parents, whom we already know to be in charge. This is
what white people look like—other white people. The owners. The people
in charge. That’s the advantage of being white. And that’s the game. So
by the time the white person sees the black person standing next to him
at what he thinks is the starting line, the black person should be
exhausted from his long and arduous trek to the beginning.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
An important strategy
for teachers is to have a growth mind set
for their students so that they will adjust their instruction and practices to
meet the students needs as they grow. The greatest barrier to learning is
often not what the student knows, but what the teacher expects of the students”
(Good, 1987) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Having a community where all children feel comfortable allows the children to
take some risks. If teachers have high expectations for all students and they
know teachers believe in them, they also willing to take more risks. The
environment needs to be full of trust, high expectations, and a lot of
support for all to succeed. <br />

For as long as she can remember, Villemaire has wanted to be a television personality. But for most of her life, she figured she didn't have a shot because there was hardly anyone on the big (or small) screen that resembled her.<br />
<br />
Throughout history, and even today, many Asian characters are played by nonAsians. Villemaire calls it yellowface, and she doesn't mince words when it comes to how she feels about it.<br />
<br />
Check out four stunning examples of Villemaire depicting Asian characters. She appears on the right in all of the photo sets:<br />
1. Luise Rainer playing the Chinese wife of a Chinese farmer in the 1937 movie "The Good Earth."<br />
2. Myrna Loy as the Chinese daughter of Fu Manchu in the 1932 movie "The Mask of Fu Manchu."<br />
3. Katharine Hepburn playing (you guessed it) a Chinese woman in the 1944 movie "Dragon Seed." 4. Yep, it happens in present day movies, too. Emma Stone played a half-Asian woman in the 2015 movie "Aloha."Claudia A.

<strong>While it looked cool to my friends when they sported a bindi,
I could not help but feel strange about it, like an invasion of space.</strong><br />
<h3>
When is it acceptable to wear a Bindi?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you are getting married to a South Asian</li>
<li>If you attend an Indian festival/ritual and have a vermillion dot placed on you as a sign of welcoming one’s guest</li>
</ul>
<strong>Which was why I was defiant in school when I was told to
remove my nose ring after piercing my nose at fifteen. I did it to
commemorate my very first trip to the homeland.</strong><br />
<h3>
When is it acceptable to wear a Nath?</h3>
<ul>
<li>When it is not a bridal nose ring being worn as a fashion accessory (the other styles are just fine)</li>
<li>If it is a part of your own culture</li>
</ul>
<br />
<strong>These hefty accessories are meant to accentuate the rhythm of
dance and to appreciate the complex footwork for the forms of Indian
dance.</strong><br />
<h3>
When is it acceptable to wear a Paayal?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If your culture wears them as an accessory like us</li>
<li>If you are an Indian dancer or a South Asian bride</li>
</ul>
<h3>
When is it acceptable to wear Chudiyaan?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you are in attendance of a Hindu friend’s matrimonial functions
and the dress code is Indian ethnic – but be sure to check with your
host first</li>
</ul>
<strong>South Asian women across the world and from all walks of life
wear them at home, during an occasion, while in attendance of prayer,
or at the workplace.</strong><br />
<h3>
When is it acceptable to wear a saree?</h3>
<ul>
<li>If you are in attendance of an Indian function that stipulates
Indian ethnic attire. It would be advisable to get a hand with how to
wear one properly since it takes some effort.</li>
<li><em>Please do not wear this for Halloween.</em><em></em><em></em></li>
</ul>
<em></em><h3>
<strong>When is it acceptable to wear a Bichiya toe ring?</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>If you are married to a South Asian.</li>
</ul>
<em></em><strong>The Aum is used everywhere now – and not as it should be.</strong><br />
<h3>
<strong>When is it acceptable to wear the Aum?</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>If you sport one as a pendant, bangle, bracelet, or a tattoo (be mindful of its placement) and are a practicing Hindu</li>
</ul>
<h3>
<strong>When is it acceptable to get a tattoo of a Hindu God?</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>While I am deeply appreciative of tattoo culture, it would be
advisable to get these tattoos only if they hold a deep significance to
you</li>
<li>Please mind where you place them on your body. The legs are
considered the dirtiest part of one’s body, and getting one on your back
is frowned upon.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Henna</strong><br />
<strong>The issue here is not the use of the plant; it is the
convenient fashioning that inadvertently erases the cultural
significance of this ritual that is a bother.</strong><br />
So if you are not a person of color, I would caution you against
wearing this for an “Indianized” look – I don’t even know what that term
is supposed to mean. It is offensive, but I have read it one too many
times. Here’s looking at you, Madonna.<br />

In the 1990s, psychologist and mixed-race scholar Maria P.P. Root wrote the famous Bill of Rights for People of Mixed Heritage, stirred by her examination of mixed-race identity, interviews with hundreds of multiracial folk across the U.S., and the struggles multiracial people face in forming and claiming a positive sense of self. “I have the right not to justify my existence to the world,” it reads. “To identify myself differently than strangers expect me to identify. To create a vocabulary about being multiracial or multiethnic.”Almost two decades later, these proclamations still ring so true. Some people are completely unwilling to honor my family’s choice to identify as mixed-race and Asian because it doesn’t align with their own ideas about how we should identify. The right of a mixed-race person to self-construct and self-define, even today, endures continual policing from people with their own agendas.<br />
<br />
Telling my child he’s white also won’t help him understand why children who were less than one-quarter Japanese were interned during World War II; why a stranger would look at him and say there are no “pure races” anymore; why a leading theatre company in our city unabashedly staged a yellowface production of an operetta; why kids on the playground pull back their eyes in a slant and spit out one of those ridiculous anti-Asian chants that just won’t go away. When I tell my son that he is Asian, mixed-race, multiracial, and a person of color, I’m not denying him parts of his ancestral-ethnic heritage. I'm teaching him about the race politics that intrude upon our lives whether we want them to or not. I’m preparing him to exist in a world that obstinately persists in being racially divided. And I’m trying to let him know something about the ways he has and will continue to be judged throughout his life, not because he’s white -- but because he’s mixed with color. Claudia A.
