Sara Star Crunch are you a member of a tribe or descended of someone native if not chill out on these people who are

[@PalmettoNDN]

I can bet you she wasn't 100%. The last of the fullbloods of the Eastern Woodlands tribes died by the 1920s. Eastern Woodlands tribes mixed extensively with everyone right away. They saw the whites as simply another group of people to raid, fight, befriend, kidnap and enslave, trade with and mix with. Most of those "fullbloods" in the 1800s weren't even fullbloods - they just had no memory of white ancestry.

my grandmother who was part Cherokee told me when i was little that Cherokees did not live in teepees but in homes made out of the Earth and things. That is how I knew about such things. But schools today show all Native Indians live in Teepees. I told my teachers they did not and told her what my grandmother said. they just blew me off. But now I tell my granddaughters about the Real Cherokee's what my grandmother and great grandmother taught me. I found out that my ancestors were also in the Trail of Tears I was shocked cause I did not know this. amazing. just amazing. Even tho I do not look like i have Cherokee ancestry I have a History of evidence that I do. My daughter did a DNA test and showed she was 4percent Native American.

WASHINGTON - The Americas were first discovered by an Italian explorer named Christopher Columbus in 1492. This discovery became one of the greatest discoveries in the world. Today, the Americas are inhabited by more than 1 billion people. History records, long before Columbus came to this continent, there was a Muslim explorer named Mansa Abubakari II from the Mali Empire. He landed on the American continent in 1312. Apart from that, another interesting history of the continent is the existence of the indigenous inhabitants of the American continent, the Cherokee Indians, who embraced Islam.

@YRD666 you copied and pasted that from the internet . I don't follow modern American history because it has been rewritten too many times by different people with different point of views . Its like any journalist today . They show what they believe by what they write about the most. Most are not neutral. That's why they are in that field , history has been a lie. Why are southerners from the south the most hated for slavery when it was the Europeans northern settlers and their own African people sold them . But history in school teaches kids to slavery was pushed by whites down south...hold up , let's talk more about who really started the bs

[@grimble4564]

I go to school in the middle of Cherokee heartland in NC, and every day I wonder what life was like here before the Europeans came.

[@faithfirstfitness]

I liked what she said at 4:00 about people not understanding that there is more than one type of Native Indian. I think in a general sense people who do not have a tribal ancestry don't understand people who do. Colonial and tribal/indigenous mindsets are very very different. For example I'm half Chilean (not native Our ancestry is originally European - French, Italian and Spanish) and half Nigerian from the Igbo people of Southeastern Nigeria. My Lela and Lelo from my mums side don't understand the view I have on certain things as someone who is partly indigenous. They just don't, they have to work harder to understand than my Igbo friends or my siblings because they get it. In my opinion that's why when enslaved Africans were brought from countries like Nigeria and Ghana, understood and meshed with First Nations people, joined and built alliances with them. We're not cut from the same cloth exactly, as every tribe in every nation is unique in language, food and culture but at least it's the same type of cloth.

[@kaleahcollins4567]

Exactly and they should show instead of whitewashing the history they should show that blacks and Indigenous people at first meeting had a lot in common not just into staying in hate for the white man but culturally the drum the dancing the music These are what combined us efforts this is what solidified I unities I was strong sense of family and community he'll respect for our indigenous deities of the Earth our history has been whitewashed and torn asunder for the benefit of Finance not historical accuracy

Truth be told, you may need to do two things, hire a professional genealogist and go the DNA route. Neither is going to be cheap, but that may be your best option. Many Cherokees hid their heritage after the Trail of Tears, and all one can do is speculate until they're able to go the other routes. Calling the tribal offices will only get you so far.

[@cecymcee3240]

I can see where that plays truth. My grandmother would speak the language now that I know what it was. Because she would talk different sometimes.

[@engmed4400]

Many of them would claim to be Mexican, or some other type of darker skinned people who weren't "Indian" because those people were generally regarded as being outside the American color spectrum. It was a way to avoid discrimination. There are so many anecdotal examples found in history. African or Caribbean blacks were welcome at "Whites Only" establishments in the Jim Crow South. All the staff needed was to hear a foreign accent and they ceased to have an issue. In the military, prior to desegregation of the units, Puerto Rican troops were considered white troops, even if they were black. It was literally the only way a black American military officer could serve in command positions in all white units. I swear there are many aspects of American history that are comedic despite the tragic undertones. 🙄
