[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2704057, member: 1535"] You should be proud of all of your heritage- Cherokee, white, whatever you are. 1/16 is enough to be considered indian. (Mariah Carey and Rashida Jones are both half black half white and they are associated at times with both races even tho they both look white, Pitbull is Cuban but to me he looks white, Obama is half white but is called black, down in Mexico I see a lot of fair skin blondes running around.) I went to an indian youth incampment in South Dakota when I was a kid and a lot of the kids there including my own siblings and some cousins all looked dark, unlike me blond headed. An older dark skinned lady gave me a form to fill out. After she had read what I wrote she asked me to show her what part of me was indian. I didnt understand at first. She said I listed myself as part indian. That was just what I had always written. I told her I was Osage-Kaw but was also French, Scottish and Irish so I considered myself only part indian. She told me that as long as you have one drop of indian in you that you are indian and to be proud of it. (I apologize to the OP for making this a race thing). So, go out and display those tribal tags with pride. [/QUOTE]
