Yes, and thats interesting and important.

People begin inquisitiveness and empathy after realizing they are part of a uniquely North American diaspora. Its really not about being a poser or trying to get an obscure scholarship. The inquisitiveness leads to finding relatives and members of a tribe thought disbanded or eradicated, reconnecting by fractional blood can lead to being eligible for recognition, land and some degrees of sovereignty.

Not to nitpick, but totally nit picking. I don’t think people of NA heritage (in NA) would be considered a diaspora

Many were relocated, and the dilution of the knowledge of even the locations of other members counts to me.
