a LATTO thought evaluates contemporary misperceptions about mixed raceness through the lenses of history, science studies, and personal perspectives in a way that is pro-Black, antiracist, and self-critical. The intent is to arm individuals with the clarity of how systems of law and power shape our feelings about who — not ‘what’ — we as individuals are so that we can begin to reshape the societies in which we collectively live. After all, we’re all already mixed. We’re simply taught to not see it that way.

In this first chapter of a LATTO thought's first miniseries, CA attempts to contain centuries of indigenous history in order to better understand the dynamics and consequences of the United States's concept of blood quantum — the racial calculus that led to Indigenous detribalization, land infringement, and how it began to collide with Jim Crow's antiblack one drop rule.
