I ' m certainly not speaking for everyone , but for me personally , I just get so tired of hearing that I have to fork over tooth nail for these people . My family came from scotland ireland from my grandparents , they met here in canada when they settled in around the same time . There ' s very little to anything that my heritage has to do with native americans if at all . Yet the place I grew up in , I was bullied by people beating me , shaming me , all because I ' m white . Because I have the same skin color as people long ago , that non of these people know the faces of , I ' m told that all these terrible things are somehow my fault . I just can ' t take native americans seriously in that light because of how I feel that somehow the guilt is trying to be pushed onto me . I don ' t want any of it , I feel like I just don ' t need it . I ' m not going to hate on someone because they ' re native , I just don ' t want to hear about heritages owing anymore .
