she’s basically accusing me of “stolen valor” by saying “youre not indigenous, youre mexican,” despite having 25% “indigenous peoples: mexico” on my ancestry DNA test. can anyone please explain to my mother how this works? i tried to explain it but she wont listen to me.

Put it to her this way: the “Indians”(no better common term, since each country has it’s own unique term) in Canada are accepted, culturally and legally(you can even cross the US border with just your Canadian Indian Status(still called that BTW) card) as being the same as US Indians, so if you were 1/4 Canadian Indian, she would not have an issue. The reason that Mexican Indians are not, has to do with US Mexico relations and not with Mexican Indians being more different than Canadian Indians.
