    It it possible you can do a get ready with me: native style. My father is a non native and my mother was raised away from the rez, and we live states away from my maternal family. My family always enjoy sending me stuff, but I never have any idea what to do with stuff like otter tails. Hope you respond, love your videos btw! ♥️

    I see you have done a lot of makeup/hair videos. Two questions, do you dance? Also, have you thought about vlogging? Scrolled through listening to some Northern Cree when I first found your channel.
    The reason I asked was because you you seem to be okay with being on camera. I could see you being one of the big time native women or wherever you're trying to go. Your personality seems pretty chill and that's why I believe you'll be big. Just also try and expand yourself on RUclips (if this is your outlet) to get more views, you know what I mean?
    What ever you're trying to do I hope you go ahead in life. No reason not to want to see people succeed!

      Nikita Elyse Wow, maybe you could make a vlog (when you do) on dancing, I haven't heard of northern women traditional, but I'ma check them out.
      Also, not to pry, do you keep up with like understanding your culture? I I don't know if culture is still taught? (Not a general assumption) Kinda wanted to ask since you dance. 😋
      Also if I sounded defensive I'm sorry, I'm stoned and when I try to express thought it comes out weird.

    If you flip your head upside down, brush your hair with your head down...feel for the center of ur upper neck put comb in the middle and slowly lift your head up with comb still firmly in middle AND you should end up with a straight part every time. Might take a little practice but I get a really straight part every time.

Either find someone in person to teach you or find someone part of the culture online who can walk you through it.
      This is what your question is asking " can you appropriate and give false information on other braids out side of your tribe so I can have an ignorant sense of what braids I want.?"
      Or because of your analogy
      " Can a person from El Salvador who is a RUclipsr please teach me how to make mexican salsa and the history behind the salsa" because you don't want to reach out to a real Mexican and ask them how and why it's done.
