Only to become adults and find that things are not what they seem. An honest and accurate example is explained in my own marriage. <br />My wife was lead to believe she was Italion and Naitive American. She certainly looks it and no one ever disputed it. I was told I am Polish, English and German. As I got that look no disputes. After a we and me DNA test was returned to us. We learned we are of many different origins. As it is. We learned. My wife has zero Native American blood. I actually have a miniscule amount of Native American blood as well as African. I am as white as they come. So in essence. We just never know. Refusing testing is only fear and or denial of what we may learn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957586979906003873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193206024924903477.post-32819867130498813212018-03-12T16:30:49.036-05:002018-03-12T16:30:49.036-05:00Great job!!!Great job!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510040238787222058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193206024924903477.post-52682182736993252982018-03-12T15:37:44.609-05:002018-03-12T15:37:44.609-05:00So was Pauline Reed an American Indian?So was Pauline Reed an American Indian?pop parodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902363920693005302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193206024924903477.post-76774471914407384412018-02-15T18:18:50.701-06:002018-02-15T18:18:50.701-06:00Like many families with a history traced back to T...Like many families with a history traced back to Tennessee our family has "stories" about Indian ancestry somewhere in the background.

I think that's where her family line first became Native American (or "skraeling" as they called it then). I'd be glad to confirm any of our connected history (or any of my history you might accidentally stumble upon)...

Pro-indian does not mean we are anti-white or anti-political, but it does not mean that we should sway in the winds of political change just to benefit a person like Liz Warren that has ridden on Pro-indian identity to future political & personal advantage. She is not our champion and neither is Bill John Baker that is willing to sell out our unique identity.

Our health care system is in crisis, from contract health budget to staffing. We continue to build more casinos but citizens do not see any of the profit from our business holdings. When will this madness end? Our TCs do not listen and if they do they are dismissive of our concerns. I can't even get a return reply out of my TC. It is not rainbows and butterflies here in the Nation. Citizens should hear about issues from our leadership and TCs, not feed off second hand information leaked from employees who are fed up. So sadly I am not surprised in the behavior towards Warren. Hopefully our tribe will survive but the ship is sinking fast.Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777820413778830657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193206024924903477.post-76152754465688639952016-06-30T12:10:18.659-05:002016-06-30T12:10:18.659-05:00As as fellow genealogist I am very impressed with ...As as fellow genealogist I am very impressed with your Elizabeth Warren research.

Let me say, everyone in Oklahoma says that they are part indian... 99% of those people are telling tall tales. If your ancestors weren't on the 1900 Special Census for Indians, chances are, you're just white folk. Most folks who are native will have a family tree on ancestry.com that leads them straight back to the old Indian Territory East of the Mississippi. The tribes carried records. If Elizabeth Warren's family was native American, they would have applied for citizenship prior to Allotment because anyone who thought they could pass for native applied for citizenship in those days...

For most Americans there is no heritage, no traditions, it's all faded away to nothing. My mom really wanted to be Cheyenne. Unfortunately she was extremely white. She did latch onto some story she heard her grandma say about someone being Cheyenne on her father's side and there was NO convincing her that it wasn't true because she wanted it to be true. Besides, it was sooo far back that no one could disprove it either. I don't think it's really about dishonesty, even though it requires fooling one's self, but it is about wanting to have something bigger than yourself and be part of something. People don't think about the fact of cultural appropriation or the suffering that people endured for really being native American. They just think about the cool parts.Hawthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12282923361524608781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193206024924903477.post-789520748089987782016-06-02T11:59:21.993-05:002016-06-02T11:59:21.993-05:00As always,
