I'm biracial. My features are a mixture of western European and North American Aboriginal. Most people think I am Greek, especially after I get a tan. I have been approached a few times by people speaking to me in different languages.

I get asked about my appearance a lot. It usually doesn't bother me. Every once and a while it can annoy me especially if the question is asked by an Aboriginal person. It sometimes sends the message that I am only "half an Indian". To them it doesn't matter even though I have official First Nations status.

My father looks Asian. People often think he is Chinese or Vietnamese.
