This is our traditional homelands.

2019-04-27 20:58:18 UTC  

Not counting the other related tribes we formed a nation with.

2019-04-27 20:59:12 UTC  

Interesting

2019-04-27 20:59:12 UTC  

GG @- Vexic | Avix -, you just advanced to level 5!

2019-04-27 20:59:24 UTC  

We originally just lived around the north shores of Lake Huron though.

2019-04-27 20:59:29 UTC  

And before that we lived in New England.

2019-04-27 20:59:38 UTC  

Yes all civilizations throughout time were based around areas with Water

2019-04-27 20:59:44 UTC  

Correct.

2019-04-27 20:59:56 UTC  

Water is the lifeways of all things. Civilization included.

2019-04-27 21:00:01 UTC  

My tribe used rivers as our highways,

2019-04-27 21:00:06 UTC  

It's why we had no roads and few trails.

2019-04-27 21:00:14 UTC  

Rivers were far more efficient since we didn't have beasts of burden.

2019-04-27 21:00:29 UTC  

Plus with rivers we could access the trading cities.

2019-04-27 21:00:39 UTC  

Using the Mississippi to reach cities like Cahokia for example.

2019-04-27 21:01:01 UTC  

So you are a left-wing

2019-04-27 21:01:09 UTC  

Eh,

2019-04-27 21:01:15 UTC  

I don't like using the terms left or right.

2019-04-27 21:01:28 UTC  

I prefer to identify by my actual stances since they don't all fit into one category or the other.

2019-04-27 21:01:34 UTC  

Okay lay em out

2019-04-27 21:01:47 UTC  

In our culture there's a saying, left and right are two wings to the same brain dead bird.

2019-04-27 21:02:14 UTC  

Well, I support LGBT stuff obviously, believe in traditional values though for us that's different than for you,

2019-04-27 21:02:24 UTC  

Most of my values are based on our traditions actually.

2019-04-27 21:03:03 UTC  

Which is to say matriarchy, clan governance, respect for LGBT, avoid wars for reasons other than defense, take care of our elderly, young and disabled, collectivized resources to a degree, etc.

2019-04-27 21:03:22 UTC  

The American group I align most with is progressives.

2019-04-27 21:03:27 UTC  

But even then it isn't a perfect match.

2019-04-27 21:03:50 UTC  

Because for example, I do not support democacy as it has failed our tribe.

2019-04-27 21:04:02 UTC  

Interesting

2019-04-27 21:04:07 UTC  

Oh yeah

2019-04-27 21:04:18 UTC  

You natives have a matriarch

2019-04-27 21:04:24 UTC  

I forgot

2019-04-27 21:04:26 UTC  

Not all but a lot of us.

2019-04-27 21:04:37 UTC  

My tribe specifically had a Grandmothers Council.

2019-04-27 21:04:41 UTC  

Made up of the female elders.

2019-04-27 21:04:44 UTC  

They chose our chiefs.

2019-04-27 21:05:22 UTC  

Do you know what Alt Right is

2019-04-27 21:05:41 UTC  

That doesn't make much sense

2019-04-27 21:06:00 UTC  

How so?

2019-04-27 21:06:02 UTC  

And kinda.

2019-04-27 21:06:06 UTC  

I know what they appear on the outside,
