The saying,a picture speaks a thousand words, is so true. This video says what the people in it, no longer can. I look at the faces of my grandmothers, my aunts, and their father, and my own face and I know we are to a large degree Native American. My great-grandfather was full blood and nobody knows anything about his "Indian" roots. My grandmother showed me one picture of him after I was grown. They were from Warren County, NC and Southern Va. How do you start to trace N. Amer. ancestry?

There is something called the Dawes Roll that is a census list on the 5 civilized tribes in what was known as the southern nation of Natives. I Google the areas and the dominate tribe in that area was Cherokee. There is a government website where you can type your grandfather's name in the tribal name should kick out along with the census card. There are other sites to do research but try there first. My grandmother was Mississippi Choctaw so I had a reference point as well. Keep me posted.

to chahta, the term "yellow" refers to the complexion of the particular native american in question. Some tribes were considered "Red " Indians and some were considered "yellow" indians. The determination was made based on their skin complexion. If you were of Ntive American dEscent you would have Known that. But peace to you any way. Sheron Denice Payne, Black Native American
