At the risk of being impaled, who all on ODT is part/all Native American

[ReloaderBen]

Family tradition was my maternal grandfather was part Cherokee. I had DNA research done as well, no trace of native American found. Guess you just can't trust family stories, DNA does not lie.

I think that must be a common family tradition. At least here in the south.

We have old photos in the family, Cherokee. You could never tell it from looking at me other than epicathal folds in the eye.

I might do the DNA thing to be 100% sure. Seems unlikely that planters would have married a Cherokee.

Wow....alot of folks has a “great-great-grandmother” that is full blooded. What was it back then?? A run on horny indian ladies??
(I will probably get chastised by someone for not being ‘sensitive’ and calling them ‘indians’ )

But anyway.....count me among those that had a full blooded (or mostly)G-G- grandmother that took advantage of my Irish/German/Scottish/mutt mixed Great great grandfather !! LOL.
(Oh, that was Cherokee from the Carolinas....i think)

My paternal grandmother was named Tokee Crow. Very much Creek Indian. I was told that somewhere down the line there was some Comanche blood in there. I don't lay claim to any of it.
My wife has Cherokee blood and is pretty sensitive to me talking **** about reservation and casino Indians.

My family tradition on my dad's side said we had a percentage Cherokee. Supposedly his mom, my grandmom was 1/4. But when I had my DNA research done it shows up less than 1%. LOL So I guess not.

Unless the DNA was done by a true DNA lab, not ancestry or those that advertise on FB, etc, they are all bullshiite, I know of a 100% Cherokee, actually medicine man for the Wolf clan and Ancestry showed him as 1% also, and his Parents and Grandparents are full bloods on the reservation in Cherokee.

Curious now. I'll have to look at my old records. My uncle (mother's brother) sat on a council in North Florida. He looked a little like an Indian. Mom's family is from the (Johnson County, formed 1858) Wrightsville area so I guess that'd have to be Creek Indian.

I have it on my birth certificate and Native Corporation paperwork, and I know how to build an igloo!
