  • I am part Cherokee, but only a small part.

    I wish I was full Cherokee though.

    I wish I knew the language.

    It is so beautiful, and I love their culture.

  • The elderly woman sounds a lot like my grandmother. :3

    Nana may you rest in piece. <3

    You can sigh up with the cherokee Nation and take on line lessons in the native language. The lessons are often offered.

  • The lady at 1:06 reminds me of my cherokee aunt. She was so funny, if she got mad she would tell you off using Cherokee with English curse words. I sure miss her.

  • Is it true Snowbird Cherokee don't accept the mixed bloods that descend from them? I read this somewhere. My grandpa's family is from Snowbird area Yellowcreek and Robbinsville. I drove through that area, such beautiful land, didn't see a Cherokee community though. Is there a way to specifically get to know Snowbird people?

  • My great Grandmother was from Cherokee, NC. I wish I could find out more about her and find my kin that still live there.

  • My grandmother had a census number with the tribe for Oklahoma. She died when my father was 8. He is named "Sun of Wolf." I wish I knew the language and was connected to the culture just to honor my grandmother. Maybe one day I'll learn the language...I hope.

    You are what you were meant to be.

    Before you were born your soul chose that vessel for a reason.

    Wish you knew the language? Learn it! Start with one word a day,

    And it's OUR culture, it only takes one drop of blood my love :)
