Query:
1) Before the rise of "Jim Crow" segregation laws When non-Cherokee were adopted into Cherokee communities-were their descendants ever referred to as "1/2" or "1/4" or "1/16" of "1/1000" CHerokee?

2) When the Cherokee Constitution was adopted-prior to the Trail of Tears-was it based upon consultation with the Cherokee Clan mothers-or upon the white/segregation/planter
assemblies?
