OP J.P. Greeson the janitor J Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 23,388 TEXAS	Originally Posted by Nickbyrd great grandmother was full blood Cherokee . So that makes me an 1/8 if my math is correct. I think that’s why I can’t grow any crazy facial hair lol . Wish I was more in tune with my roots . We're both 1/8, so if we wanted to pursue it, there are some pretty cool benefits when you are able to prove your heritage. I looked into it once, but they don't make it easy. The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach

The wife’s Great great grandmother was 100% Cherokee, and a few generations back of mine were Shawnee and Cherokee. Unfortunately our family tree was lost after the death of one of Dads siblings who traced everything back several generations. We do have a Coat of arms as well, but it too has been lost.

They had the misfortune of being in that area when the Apache moved in and pretty much wiped them out. Don’t hear much about the Yaqui other than the Raquel Welch/Jim Brown film 100 Rifles that dealt with the Yaquis in Mexico and their fights with the government. So, 50% warhoop here

So, 50% warhoop here I worked with a Yaqui many years ago, he was the largest man I've ever seen and I know Big Country Bryant Reeves. He was scarred up really bad on both arms, I asked him what happened and he said anytime he ever went to a bar out west someone would want to try him and ended up in several knife fights. I doubt he ever lost one. If CCTX stood next to him it would look like me standing next to CCTX, he was a freak of nature giant.

It’s not that I would want to benefit from it as much as be more into it . Honestly I know nothing about the Cherokee .

Native American, Native, American Indian, American are all polite ways to show you are a racist or don’t know who we are. Lol. My family prefers Dakota Sioux..., but like white people, we all kinda look the same to everyone. Eat. Sleep. Fish.
