Hello fellow bloggers, would you consider yourself a child of the West?

I was asked if I identify myself as a child of the West. There are many ways to interpret this question. One might say you are a child of the West if you are born in the west, but others might say if you have ancestors that journeyed to the West are children of the West. I have two sides to this questions because I was born here on the west coast but I don't have ancestors that have moved to the West. Even though I was born in the west I wouldn't consider myself a child of the west because I think the answer lies between the roots of your family and ancestors.
