Part of what and who we are, yes. Your heritage is a big part of what makes you who you are. I'm not saying to JUST identify yourself by what you can do - that'd be as bad as being ONLY Cheyenne or ONLY Jewish or ONLY blue-eyed.

But not everyone has what we have - and we've got to recognize that singular uniqueness as something that defines us, both as individuals and as a people. You tried to explain it to me, what it meant to be Cheyenne. It's how I see being a mutant. But being Cheyenne wouldn't mean anything if, say, you'd been raised in a different culture. Whereas my being a mutant is something permanent, a physical part of me. That's why I identify with it, it's something I can say is mine without anyone else to take the credit or responsibility for it.
