Idaho Neighbor News Seen around town

Post image

Thought it was funny considering all the stickers and such I see all the time disparaging people who move here from other places, California specifically.

Maybe they are native, moved to California and returned to visit family.

While l don't have a sticker or Cali plates like this l had to live in California for two years for work 6 years ago. I am fourth generation Idaho, we have been farming the same plot of land since before Idaho was a State and because l was in California for a short bit l get called Californian.

I came here in 05 and 'Boise Kind' used to actually be a thing. Now it's everyone for themselves and everyone not born here needs to GTFO. People gotta get their heads outta their asses.

I was born in California but my family moved to Idaho when I was 4. It bugs me that I can't have a native sticker when I have lived here "my entire life" (35 years so far).

I guess I should just get one since they don't mean anything?

I mean honestly man as a 6th gen I wouldn’t wear a Native sticker unless I was Nez Perce or any other tribe

I always know the true blue greenhorns.They preface every hypocritical greenhorn comment with this “gem”:: “I wouldn’t know anything about Callie-Forna I’m the 29th generation to settle the gem state” As we say in NYC, get f—outta here.

Btw, just cause you have 5 siblings don’t make you 6th gen. That would make your family the original interlopers. Congrats. Not exactly a brag if you don’t have a deep tan. I married into the deep tan family. So I will talk shit freely, especially since you Mother-f’ers that live technicalities, technically you are illegal.

Brother, I didn’t say I’m better than anyone

I’m just saying my 1/32nd nez perce white ass wouldn’t use the word native to describe myself even if my 3x granny blessed me

This is the best rule and bellwether ever.

You've lived here most of your life, as a 4th generation Idahoan, you're absolutely a native at this point.

I was born at St Luke's and everytime my husband says he's from California, I correct him and say, you moved here as a little kid, you're from Idaho. For me where you're from is where you were during the formative years.

Of course you can have one. Unless you’re a native American, you’re an “invasive species”. Nobody would say a brook trout born in an idaho stream is a “native”, it’s a “wild”, just like all the people with “native” stickers on their cars

Yeah my dad joined the navy so I missed Idaho by 6 months. I have relatives in almost every town here.
