[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 2947145, member: 17825"] Maybe there aren't as many indians as one would think. Spanish tend to be darker, the moors and all that. Maybe it's not chickasaw but Spanish/African? I don't know why you wouldn't want to be on the tribal rolls, that's odd. I'd assume if one really had Native-American blood, one would be on the rolls, if one had sufficient blood for it. There are benefits and all that. I don't know about chickasaw specifically. Iberian Peninsula is awfully close to NW Africa. It's possible that's where the Iberian came from, as well. Maybe she's got some African or middle eastern blood. I don't know anything, though. I'm just naturally skeptical of the fact that there are so many Indian white boys in Oklahoma. I've heard rumors that i've got Native-American in me, too. Purportedly i've got family members that look native American. That's the story my mother's told me. She's from Ohio. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be ********. I don't trust it, what my family members say about it. But i could be wrong, who really knows? I wasn't there when the deeds were done. Now that i think about it, if it is African/Moor blood, it's possible that the older generation might want to hide it by claiming to be Native-American, that was very common in the old days. Because Native Americans were not as looked down upon as blacks back in ye olden days. But of course, this is all speculation and i don't really know what i'm talking about, honestly. [/QUOTE]
