My grandmother was adopted by a Black family straight off the reservation before her 1st birthday. She was raised the same way as her siblings in her new family. Growing up, folks around town just knew her as a light skinned black chick and this fit with the family as they're all lighter Black folks.

As far as she knew, she was black. She knew no different... Until she was told she was adopted and was Native. People in that city still see her as a Black woman, though she isn't. Though she will tell you she's Native if you ask and now identifies as such, she's still has a Black identity and many people know her as a Black woman.

If she were to say "fuck it, I'm Black", would we have a problem with this?

My wife's Great Grandmother had a very similar story, being raised Black and all, yet she's also full blooded Native the difference being that she acknowledged her being Native, yet identified as a Black woman because that's what her life experiences were.

Do we have a problem with her identifying as Black even though she was Native?
