Cherokee Indian Song

[shaybeck2218]

I'm also losing blood somewhere! My great grandmother was full blooded cherokee. I have traced her only so far back and can't find anymore info on her. It's very hard to do your ancestry with missing pieces because of what happened. All I need to know is that I'm part cherokee and proud of it. Would have like to had some more history on her though just to know the kind of person she was. Love the songs and dances though. Something draws them to me.

@shaybeck2218 your in the same boat as me sister. My great grandfather was full blooded choctaw and I am having trouble finding out history on his family (besides his sister who is on the dawes). I knew my great grandfather and my great grandmother (who is thought to have been also part indian). They bot hdid not die until i was about 8 or 9. I called them grandma and papa woof woof for they raised dogs. I am proud to be part choctaw and possibly other tribe?

Cherokee Forever!

[jakob941]

i love native americans tradiotions and songs

[silverwolf636]

Osiyo, My Great Great Grandmother was Cherokee and Lakota. That still puts more native blood in me than anything else. That don't matter to me though. All of my heart is Native American. It is what I believe. Whether or not I could get a card does not matter (never tried). I am who I am and what I believe; no one can change that.

[NUKEHEAD99]

You mean half native at best. No offense but africans are not any more native than anglo-saxons. Frankly, not to sound racist but they are most likely much less native.

[KYMAMI]

Wow nukehead99 you are really stupid,i wouldnt wanna be a part of anything you have to do with at all...im blocking an idiot like you

[courtneyrao]

[dmi3011]

i am half cherokee and i don't know anything about my heritage. my great great grand mother was cherokee indian so how much indian doest that mean i have in my blood? please let me know about this stuff thanks.

[kamiyami123]

one of your parents would have 2 b full blood for u to be half. if your grandma was full blood you'd be 1/4, great grandma 1/8, and great great grandma 1/16. so you're 1/16

[dmi3011]

i asked my dad and he told me it was in fact my great grandmother that was indian so i am 1/8. this sucks i want to know more about my heritage.

[shannobbolly]

1/16

[westthunders]

"I am my father' son and my children's father and only the government counts my blood in fractions...When I first heard about blood quantum I was fiftee-sixteenths Minnesota Chippewa Indian. When I graduated from highschool and was looking for scholarships, I was thirteen-sixteenths. The last time I checked, I was eleven-sixteenths. I quit checking because I am losing my blood somewhere." Northup

[stevennewnan]

1/16th the minimum quantum to even be allowed to be a member of the Tsalgiyi ayeli (cherokee Nation). Of course you must be descended from someone on the Dawes Rolls to even think about applying for enrollment. I was lucky my Great Great Grandmother was on one of the rolls here in Georgia after removal in 1838. This has allowed me to be a member of the state recognized band of Cherokee.

[dmi3011]

i don't care i just carry my beautiful cherokee heritage in my heart, i don't need to join anything. cherokee expands all the way to georgia? never herd that i live in missouri and thay come mainly from oklahoma and missouri. as a matter of fact i gamble at the wyandotte nation casino in miami oklahoma. plus oklahoma is known as native country.

[tranurse]

they were in the east. a cherokee family found gold on their land and that was why they were sent to oklahoma. the trail of tears. greed basically. they had rich farms, a lot of slaves(which i know was bad), and a lot of money.  so, the whites had to run them out.

[NUKEHEAD99]

I don't expect a reply to this, I see you wrote it 9 months ago but as a history buff, I'd love to see your references for this. I'm absolutely NOT doubting this story, but I require at least evidence before I myself might pass this legend along.

[SoftRain60437]

The Eastern Band of cherokee never left there land. They were the only Tribe of cherokee to stay behind and fight for what was thears.

[tranurse]

exactly, my ancestors were eastern band. they weren't going the heck to oklahoma.

[AnnieOaklie63]

@tranurse I dont' blame them, and very proud they staid. I wish my family had done the same...
