Aalana Bryant

Pį:wa ! (Greetings !) My name is Aalana I am very passionate about the native youth of our generation my goal is to get them focused on having a successful education ! My culture is very important to me and I try to incorporate it in everything I do, I am also a beader, jingle dress dancer and proud member of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe !

I am a black Cherokee. I feel like I don’t fit in with my indigenous side, and I am ashamed that I don’t know much of the culture. Even so, being a black Cherokee is tough to fit in since most don’t accept them. What should I do to feel more native? What should I do to feel pride on both sides of me?
