"Last year I asked God to show me how to authentically be myself. And He revealed to me more of my TRUE Heritage!

I am CHEROKEE Indian via my mother’s Deep South Carolina roots.
I am BLACKFOOT Indian via my father’s California roots.
Government, textbooks and media have mis-labelled me “Negro” “Black” “African-American” because my skin color wasn’t preferred when America began. They had me confused about who I was for a long time, but I would rather listen to my LIVING GRANDMOTHERS over the World any day.
I am an American Indian, one of the MILLIONS of us who reside in America and have longer than any other people who have came here. It’s time we are unafraid to show our culture, and celebrate our True, Indigenous, American roots.
Happy Birthday to me, Authentically Ariel Jillian '

"Ariel Jillian Smith is an American Indian Fashion Designer who not only loves designing but also enjoys working with and teaching high school students and children's humanitarian work.
 Born in Seattle, WA"

Does fashion design, selling clothing, fall under The Indian Arts and Crafts Act?

"All products must be marketed truthfully regarding the tribal enrollment of the producers so as not to mislead the consumer."

"For example, products sold using a sign claiming 'Indian Jewelry' would be a violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act if the jewelry was produced by someone other than a member, or certified Indian artisan, of an Indian tribe."

Also in this video is Jimmy Jonez "realtor + Christian rapper".

Scrolling through his Facebook https://www.facebook.com/iamjimmyjonez I did see someone in comments referring to him as an "ethnic fraud".

Spokeo and other directory aggregators associate Ariel Jillian Smith of Pullman, WA with Troy Smith. If that is correct, this may be her father's obituary:
https://www.dnews.com/obituaries/troy-jerome-smith97d0f44e

She says she was born in Seattle. The obituary says Troy served on the city council in Federal Way, which is in the greater Seattle area, and lists Ariel as one of his children.

I believe this is the correct obituary. The names match what is found on Ariel Jillian Smith's Facebook.

Her parents' marriage certificate can be found through Washington State Digital Archives https://digitalarchives.wa.gov/Record/View/ED54393107C1473EAAB12E2E16021F02

Father: Troy Jemore Smith
his parents Ron L. Smith and Andera Marshall, both of CA

Mother: Caroline Enid Cornelius
her parents Charlton Cornelius Jr and Katherine D. James, both of SC

(Andera Marshall is Andrea Marshall.)

So the names on obit match what is on Facebook. Locations of parental birthplaces match her claims.

Obit, social media, marriage certificate, and some of her claims all match.

Here is her maternal grandfather Charleton Cornelius Jr https://www.nelsonsofridgeway.com/obituary/Charlton-Cornelius
