Cherokee Days 2014: Cherokee Genealogy with Roy Hamilton

[@xenathargo1227]

The day I was born in 1970 my mother couldn't put me through the cherokee tribe because my mother didn't want the government to take me away from her. Out of my years of my life I started to learn how much cherokee I really am. I'm 3/4 Cherokee native & I have lived my life & very happy with with my race. Anyone who asked I will say I'm Cherokee native American & proud of it. I would love to know more. Thank you , God bless you all

The 'blood quantum' and labels of 'quadroon' and 'octroon' came from the eugenics theories of Francis Galton in Cambridge. Galton was invited to give lectures on eugenics at Harvard University in the 1890s. Winston Churchill was the first vice-president of the Eugenics Education Society founded by Galton (who was Charles Darwin;s cousin) and Major Leonard Darwin (Charles Darwin's son). The eugenics programs were also exported to Australia where they were used for ongoing genocide of our First People.

[@MelissaThompson432]

The word "quadroon" has been used since the beginning of the 18th century. The concept of quantum in descendants of slaves has been a matter of interest in the US South for a very long time....

I live in Jackson County NC, which covers a swath of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. In other words my moms family has lived on the Qualla boundary for hundreds of years and we have Cherokee relatives I thankfully received a very good education on the Cherokee here as a small child that also swaddled, loved and protected babies while making us aware of atrocities. We received so many valuable lessons from 1980 - 89.

[@davidmelick6225]

Thank you for this history. Having grown up in North Georgia I am familiar with somewhat different versions of your stories. I was told, by a Cherokee leader in a small Cherokee museum near Hiawassee, GA, that Mr. Thomas, who bought the North Carolina land for the Cherokee, was an orphan who had been adopted by Cherokee family living near Hiawassee. When the U.S. government drove the Indians out of the area they paid them about $0.02 an acre (very low price even back then) They pooled their money and Mr. Thomas, being white, was able to buy land so he bought the North Carolina property and the Cherokee of north Georgia moved to that land. Later they applied and were granted reservation status. The only reservation in the U.S. which was actually purchased by the Indian tribe who live on it. I don't know which story is true but I like this version and Cherokee people of this area all know this story.

[@ngjellico9469]

So how do you gain citizenship today

[@johnathanandrus6586]

My father's side was scotsirishxCherokeexGermanxChoctaw from the Western edge of Virginia, Tennessee and northern Alabama that migrated to Fort Jessup or Natchitoches and Sabine, Louisiana and moved to Madison county along the Trinity river in Texas. Then my Grandparents moved to Bryan, Texas in Brazos valley and met the family that would be my mother's side of GermanxAustrianxCzechxBohemian descent in Burleson county. Pretty interesting following my father's side and how they were trying to escape or avoid the U.S. expansion and civil war. We consider ourselves Texans 1st now. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself Cherokee and/or Choctaw since my father was only 1/4 and my mom is German/Czech and I have a much closer relationship to that side, though i truly respect what these ancestors dealt with and went through, you've gotta be a strong people to make it through. I'd be 1/16th from Cherokee and 1/16 Choctaw, 1/2 German/Austrian, 3/16 scots-irish, and 3/16 Czech/Bohemian but that's just breaking down from family tree as genes don't always pass down equally. My mom's mom's side is straight from Czechia & Bohemia to Texas in 1850s, my mom's father's side came straight to Texas from Germany/Prussia/Austria in the late 1880s. These family trees get so big after a few generations. I thinks it's cool that we still have a closer relationship with our mom's side than with my Father's side, guess that matrilineal genetic memory and tradition is still there. I can trace the scots-irish side to England to the 1st duke of Exeter in England Northumberland, and the Molyneauxs from France, though that is way back and overwhelmed by the more recent genes. Most branches of my tree are near impossible to get back that far, but the ones you can always keep tracing are the ones from Royalty/high families.

Hi, I was wondering if there is an easier way to find out about our Cherokee heritage? Only The Indians inherited mineral rights in Oklahoma. One of my Grandma’s parents was full blood Cherokee and my Grandma inherited the mineral rights from them. My Dad who was 1/4 Cherokee inherited these mineral rights from her. And my brothers and sisters inherited them from him. If I follow this linage through inheritance, I can track my Cherokee heritage. My unckle Raymond Robinson got his Cherokee nation card ( card carrying Indian). But I have two children who both mine and their Dads. Definitely full blood brothers. Their Dad has zero Indian. I should be if tested 1/8. Were as both my children should be 1/16. But one came back zero. Is there something about the tests that would cause this? I don’t understand it. He is my child. And his full blood brother came back correct….?

[@deasmith99]

This is very informative and yet very upsetting for me personally, my father has Cherokee ancestry however according to this, it goes by your mothers ancestry, plus the fact that if you leave the lands more than 6 months, you give up your citizenship as a Cherokee. Although I am not truly Cherokee, I will always have a great respect, admiration and great pride to be connected to, even in a small way, to such a great culture.

[@lindastorm7264]

I have a friend in Myanmar (aka Burma) whose family and friends (his tribe) look identical to the aboriginal Cherokees of this continent. He knew some ancient history of those who migrated to the east to a far away land. People have been migrating and populating the earth since the very beginning. There is only ONE race...the human race. We are family...let's treat each other that way. Peace to that Tribe.

[@jedheart8059]

My father, deceased, was half Ilocano (a tribe of the Philippines) and Scots Irish Trail of Tears Cherokee. My grandparents brought me to the Philippines when I was 13 in 1980. There, I am 100 percent Ilocano. There are no half breeds. Over twenty years later, mid 90s, I traveled to the jungle in Guatemala where I stayed with Mayans. While there on a non-profit project, a Guatamalan government inspector came to check out the project. She told me I looked mixed Guatamalan. I had noticed the Indigenous Mayans who did not speak English at all, looked like cousins in the Philippines. I really felt like I was with my Ilocano family there. I took a bus to travel between villages. I did not have food with me. Even though I did not speak the language, I was offered food by the Mayans. They had food they grew and chickens on the bus. I do my DNA, had it tested at many companies. My nephew had his done at 23andme only. His y-DNA turned out to be from Southern Asia. I began researching that. It's known that there was migration from Taiwan to the Philippines. I knew that for decades. But I began to learn that there was migration from Southern Asia to the Philippines too. My own father looked like a full blooded Cherokee. His facial features look Native American. People would always ask me if I am Cherokee all through my young life. As a Veteran, I was traveling with some other Veterans through Native American lands. We stopped to get breakfast during our trip to a Veterans conference. Several local Native American men can in to the restaurant. As they passed by our table, they all nodded to me. They all recognized I look Native American. Now I have white hair. My skin is medium dark, a finally red toned. So, my ethnicity is not discernable much. I have Green eyes so now people see that and know I am not non-European descent. They say green eyes are rare. Not true in my family. My mom, all my brothers, and aunt, we all have green eyes. But that giveaway makes it clear that I am at least part European descent. Where's my father looked full blooded Cherokee because of his mix. And, he does have a cousin in Hawaii who is Irish, Hawaiian, Ilocano who looks likey dad too. So, I think you nailed it. I think there is a gene flow between South Asia and Native Americans, done of the flow. My research points to different waves of DNA coming through different periods of time. Like my mother's Viking ancestors, my father's Pacific Island ancestors were sea faring people. Ilocano traded ancient pottery with India and China. Vikings made it to both east and west coast of Northern America. Why not the South Asians? And, why would South Asians need to more than a thousand more less years ago? If people were living in Alaska area, they could travel back and forth too. The gene flow could been going both directs, back and forth. If you have Arctic hunting clans crossing waterways, why not camp out and share in social exchange? Hunter and gatherer society was mobile. They wouldn't think like us, being bound inside a homebound area. I think you have a good observation.

[@M.Campbell-Sherwood]

Cherokee aren’t Aboriginal/Aborigines… We’re Native American.

@@jedheart8059My mom’s DNA came out very Asian as well. She had Native American Markers too, but there were more Asian markers than I expected. I knew there would be western Asian because of her maternal Jewish Heritage, but what surprised me was the the most was the amount of Northeastern, Eastern and South Eastern that popped up. I mean I always knew Native Americans came from the Asian Countries (and watching Korean tv REALLY puts it into perspective; being able to place different Tribe features and sometimes Peruvian or other South/Central American peoples, it really makes me wonder when they all migrated), but really seeing it was wild as h3II.

According to blood quantum many enrolled wouldn't have 1/16th of Cherokee blood. It's ridiculous that any tribe would use blood quantum today. So, those that weren't removed and were classified as "People Of Color" are now classified as "African American", bc that classification continued to change over the years and many are still on our traditional Ancestral land. This is also the case with every other Eastern Woodland Indian tribe. This is how most of our land and Ancestral rights were stolen.

I hope to find someone to help find the descendants of the children of Harriet that are unknown at this time.

My entire family speaks Cherokee and we are as white as you. So many untold stories or black, white and other mixed American Indians. Will we ever have our voices heard!?

[@sharonallen6921]

@@Melungeonpeople It was the US government that put restrictions on who is Cherokee or not. A treaty in 1828 stated that any Cherokee Nation citizen that lived off Cherokee land for more than 6 months was no longer considered a Cherokee Nation citizens but instead a US citizen. When the Trail of Tears took place and many were forced to walk to Oklahoma the government then claimed all of the citizens who stayed back east were no longer Cherokee Nation citizens because they didn't live in Oklahoma. Same thing with blood requirements. Old Cherokee Nation (before US government involvement) said if you were descended from Cherokee Nation parent or adopted, knew the language, upheld traditions and ways of the Cherokee Nation then you were Cherokee. The government is the one that put qualifications on the people by saying "degree" of N. A.. I wonder when the N. A. tribes will stop looking to Washington, DC to decide for them what they are or what their value is. And the infighting is ridiculous. Who the "better" is ... those who stayed back east or those who walked the Trail of Tears?! Crazy argument, in my opinion. The old Cherokee Nation said you are either a Cherokee or you are not. They didn't go by degree of blood. What 1/4th of your body is Cherokee while the other 3/4th is not? My family sees staying east the same as your family, Loki - resisting removal from ancestral lands. Leaving or not was a personal decision and often decided by being captured by US soldiers but only the US government got to decide who could lay claim to being Cherokee. Yet, today we have people arguing over the issue as though the US government is God and their interpretation is all that matters. In my opinion, we will never stand completely upright until we stop looking to Washington, DC to tell us who we are AND that goes for N. A.'s or any other group of people. I can never be documented Cherokee because over the last 150 + years I can not document that every generation from the Dawes Roll was female and once a son becomes your ancestor you lose citizenship, also my family has not lived on a reservation continuously since the 1940's. People, wake up! The enemy is not east band vs west band or full blood vs degree of blood. We are allowing our separation because US government education has taught us to and what was once not accepted by our people is now used as fact and truth. Just like anything else .... lies told over and over and not challenged end up accepted as truth as time goes by.

[@andrewjordan252]

Its funny how the Indians and pilgrims are the same people

[@siksika4603]

No evidence of them being black...

[@Al-Sahem-Al-Ghul]

I’m Black and Chahta. I don’t necessarily subscribe to the Natives were actually Black people narrative, but we were, in fact, very brown skin people. I was told when I was little that most of us used to be my skin color, which is bronze with a reddish tint. We also had more full lips and coarser hair, like I have. So to say we were once just Black, it isn’t that far off, I don’t believe. But it’s not the same simply because the ancestors chose it to be that way. Personally, I believe it’s about who you are in your heart. Not about any of that other bs.

Why would a the US government take the land from the white man playing Indian. Then give it back to him for no reason at all? People are so dumb. It's clear who the Indegenous Aboriginal Amarukans are and it's just not you.. But don't worry. We working.

You can ‘t steal my heritage I know I’m Cherokee by blood of my grandfather on my grandmother side!

[@dalton7145]

I thought it was a Cherokee saying that even 1 drop of Cherokee blood, makes you Cherokee? To many the Chickasaw Nation seems way more European, except if you ever go to their Cultural Center in Sulfa Okla.

[@robertchandler3295]

It is the tribes that are more 'European' that are making stringent rules on what it means to be cherokee and other tribes that look European.

[@agenticmark]

That is exactly how I lost my rights. My great great grandfather chose to take us citizenship and we lost everything. Ended up a poor family just off the res and not good enough for the local whites. I got the blood but we aren't on the final rowe

[@agenticmark]

I now live in Mexico on a ejido which is very much the same way my people used to live. We own our house I built but not the land it is on

[@Runinfox]

Izzz white mostly but grandma through G grandma was Cherokee(Maybe) What I do KNOW is Tablerock(Attacoa) is Mystic Mountain of Cherokees.. I claimed it 6/6/9 after tranversing it three times Clockwise and Shouting three times(about High Noon) I took care of Golden Heather(very rare Herb only here no place else on Planet Earth) NO WHERE. 20 years protecting it/pruning/loving/respecting(since it has Medicinal Value). It has Sacred altar with intuitive attributes and a Chief's Head made up of mainly Quartz. I AM More Cherokee than Most for I Honor Its Holy Ground and play with its Holy Herb. Doesn't matter what color or How much Cherokee---I Live the LIFE---DO YOU???

Great great grandmother Jencey Jane Shadwick, birth Sept. 1876, North most likely Hayward die December 30th 1966 she is considered full blood, doesn't say what nationality white, Georgia , they all ended up in Polk, Tenn. Grandmother, Alice married a man called Benefield she is from April 14th 1896 North Carolina she got married in Monroe County Tennessee and she died November 24th 1980 Sweetwater Tennessee, I may have met her, I'm adopted, I had four sisters and one brother, DNA I had done comes back 1% Native American , which is fine with me, my mother mother and grandmother so it is down the women's line for Native American what you were saying it what I look this will get information through ancestry DNA I don't expect to have Cherokee rights which is okay with me I can barely handle the rights I have now but very good it was very clear

[@thomaswilson1631]

How is that the us government strip the Cherokee of their status if they remain on their land, would become people of color yet the Cherokee people are wanting to do the same to people of color who are the same as native Indian Cherokee by blood not as much,seems to be double standards.

WHYYYYY,.... Are we using the Creek word, a word that's not even in our language and calling our tribe, "Cherokee"?? 😳🤷🏽‍♀️😳 Gee, could it be all the yonegas/wasicus/whts that jumped in on our homelands, claiming to be some Indigenous American tribe, that does not even exist, at least NOT by that name. My family refused to leave our homelands, here in the Southeast, and you guessed it, we are the true Aniyunwiya, the original Tsalagi, or what yonegas/wasicus/whts call " Cherokee" and the scrolls, rolls, whatever it's called, is eat up with my family and my family's names, both sides. I will NEVER leave our homelands, I will die on, and feed our homelands. Our ancestors are here. Our blood runs through these lands, through the roots and trunks, stems, and leaves of the trees, through our animal brothers and sisters, and in our waters, as water is electrical, just like our spirits/souls. Please, my brothers and sisters, we are a great nation of Indigenous, we always have been, but PLEASE wake up and realize, we are a sovereign nation, we have sovereignty, which means "Rulers of the land, those who have the final say, as to what happens with our land, means, we are the rulers over Turtle Island/North America, and as soon as our people realize this, and step up, because we are still in charge of Turtle Island. ALL of Georgia was once our territory, part of Alabama, part of Florida, North Carolina, south Carolina, Kentucky Tennessee, and west Virginia and Virginia, THIS was Tsalagi territory. Still is, and will forever be. Wake up, brothers and sisters, it's time we take step up and our place, as a sovereign people, and as the Stewards of the Earth. Love to all. Osda

[@KinachCuttahmup]

Exactly only foreigners and imposters call Aniyunwiya Cherokee 😆

[@kattmoore941]

@@KinachCuttahmup we are TSALAGI tribe, ANIYUNWIYA are the original TSALAGI, not the TSALAGI watered down with other tribes' blood, in Oklahoma, not watered down with YONEGA/WASICU blood, either, pure bloods, from the Tsalagi who escaped capture, went higher up into the mountains, where yonegas/wasicus were afraid to go, and lived out their lives, as they always have, I was raised old ways, my family are a long line of medicine and spiritual leaders.

There is no such thing as a Native American race. What people think of as "Native Americans" are a mix of Asians and Caucasians. The "Native Americans" on the west coast are mostly Asian and the "Native Americans" on the east coast were mostly White Caucasian. Whites have been coming to the Americas for over 2,000 years, don't believe the lie that Christopher Columbus was the first white man!
