Struggling to learn heritage

History has been so white washed for the last 200 years, I've only started to learn about my true ancestry. I feel strongly driven to find my tribe and learn about my peoples culture. I genuinely believed Native Americans were called "Indians", and everyone had a happy feast for Thanksgiving. That Christopher Columbus was a founder and a hero to American history. I'm mortified I didn't learn the truth until the internet became a more common necessity. I'm angry that my great great grandmother was in the trail of tears, and nobody in my family knows a damn thing about our warrior blood. I'm scared to express any culture because I do not show my culture in my skin for most people to see it. Same with my Romania blood. It's the way I'm built, my hair, my structure, not just my skin... I want to have pride in the true strength of my ancestors, and express it with participation in my culture. I'm learning alone, and I'm worried I will adopt more misinformation rather than find the facts...
