Really? Cherokee you say? Interesting you spelled it wrong...... and we (because I am descendant of same peoples) don't call it "Cherokee".Cherokee, from the mountains of NC.

To be called Cherokee or call yourself so, is to be belittled and oppressed back into the same disposition as our ancestor slaves. And which side did your family come from?
Do you even know the real name of the people you claim to be ancestors of? And if so, do you know what that "name" of our peoples MEANS???
This is not a personal attack, this is me being tired of people claiming they are "Cherokee" and having no fucking idea what they are talking about!
My grandmother's father was George Fox of the Wild Potato clan. And yes I probably know more about my heritage than you think I do, it's funny you assume I don't know shit. Tsalagi is the proper name, but why would I assume that you know that and come on here saying, I'm from Tsalagi and Ahnigatgewi? I have immense pride in my background, and was a registered member of the Eastern Band until my dad renounced it due to conflict with tribal leadership and the casino industry. Since we were grandfathered, no one in my blood line will ever be able to claim tribal membership now since no family was on any of the census rolls taken in the early 1900's. my native side of the family come from Murphy, North Carolina and Northern Georgia, married the daughter of a Quaker from PA, who was married to an unknown Cherokee.
i'm also a member of several activist groups and have been fighting to end blood quantum laws and improve life for people of ANY indeginous groups.
Don't act like I don't know shit about my ancestry, I'm in the epicenter and I stay connected. Im not some douche who blasts "im cherokee because i have some engines in my family".
Me too to a point. I am also a couple native Californian tribes that aren't federally recognized... I just got sick of it all, and plan to do more and get more involved when I go back to school in the next couple of years.......thanks man. I personally think Cherokee Nation is now a sham, especially with it's current leadership. There's a few, more traditional tribes out there which aren't federally recognized, but i've decided I'd rather not belong to a group of modern day natives who bitch and fight over issues of money, land, and power.
I've come to respect and honor my heritage on both sides, native and european. my european ancestry is fucking crazy, I have some big dogs in my direct lineage. if you can't tell, i love some history and genealogy.
and its stuff like that that lets me still have hope for this twisted world. i thank you for jus bein a bad ass lol. true hero son!Thank you so much...... Im about to start another job to get some more income. Kind words, gestures, and signs of affection and gratitude are my payment. I have a cancer patient that was given 1 yr to live, she was given this prognosis 3 yrs ago, and she firmly believes that it is her Cannabis use that has given her the emotional, spiritual, and even physical strength to keep going . I have been with her since the beginning. She isn't employed at all anymore... she has almost 1,000,000 in medical bills from surgery and doctors visits her insurance wouldn't cover. She smokes about an oz a month, and it is more important that she gets her herb than me. She isn't supposed to lift anything more than 10 lb.'s, she has had neck, back, stomach, and foot surgery all in the last two years, she also had a tumor removed from just behind her eye. She can't grow her own.... so I grow it for her..... and her smile, her breathing..... what better payment is there???
Then I am sure you will do GREAT! . Thanks... get a journal up and I will follow along, .and its stuff like that that lets me still have hope for this twisted world. i thank you for jus bein a bad ass lol. true hero son!
