"The only insecurity you will find in me is my fear of domination of my tribe by people who are not Cherokees, but claiming to be so".

Oh Please! I am so sick and tired of this "discussion" NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CHEROKEENESS!

As soon as someone inquires about how to research their oral history that includes some native american... They get shot down. ENOUGH! This is a forum set-up to HELP people in their research not for calling them names "wannabees" Grow up and help out if you aren't able to contribute then you should remain silent.
