what about the slaves that were bought or taken in for the interest of marriage?were their bi-racial children listed on the blood roll? probably not but..i wonder about this.if so...well you guys get my drift....

Hr2824 never became a bill. The Cherokee nation has spoken. The Freedmen need to respect that and come back home to their Black roots.

i have been told like most blacks that i have native blood hopefully one day i can find out

[anamommy1]

@shawnpwilliams good interview! I'm a black oklahoman and wanting to learn more any suggestions?

[jahkiainc]

A Cherokee said to a Creek, "You people have mixed up so much with the blacks, most of you look black now". The Creek said to the Cherokee, "You people have mixed up so much with the whites that most of you now look white".  The final slap in the face of Indians is that the very people who committed physical and cultural genocide against them now CLAIM TO BE THEM and are committing racist acts in their name. What blasphemy!

@jahkiainc

Wow, I wish I was there to see that exchange. Shalom.

[Empha84]

@jahkiainc when in doubt blame white people. Hey they brought us here. Some of y'all owned us.

[hopigirl]

I think its interesting what this can mean for other tribes as you have more mixed bloods and cases that come up from this

[timotds]

You had and have full-blooded Choctaw and Cherokee walking around being denied their Sovereign rights just because they are sun-blessed. My g-g-great grandfather is listed on the Choctaw full blood roll, my great grandmother was Cherokee. But I do not feel I would want to become a citizen of either of them today. I'd proud being a Moor. We're indigenous here as well. Heck the original hue of those tribes was dark skin. I guess they forgot that part of their history.

[Papillonmuscogee]

@timotds if your g-g-great grandfather is listed on Choctaw roll, why would you deny your children, their children's children, and so on, the right to know their heritage, or be able to see documentation as such. Just because you think one way, you shouldn't interrupt things for those coming after you. Just saying.

[timotds]

@Papillonmuscogee I had all of that knowledge placed on the birth certificate so it can be known. Not becoming part of the federal run reservations is what I was refering to.

[Papillonmuscogee]

@timotds "federal run reservations?" As far as I know, Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creek and Seminoles weren't placed on reservations, unless you want to consider that lovely invitation back in the day, known as they Trail of Tears, the invitation to set up camp in Oklahoma, ahem, Indian territory before statehood. I hear you tho.

[nativemrv19722]

@Papillonmuscogee The Cherokee have a Reservation in North Carolina in the Mountains. They are called the Eastern Band of Cherokee.

VERY INTERESTING!  Great Work!
