Native American Heritage Anyone?

Date sort Score sort
Another reason the Cherokee tribe seems to be so big is they adopted other tribes into the Cherokee. I actually have cards that say Cherokee AD which means adopted Delaware. Not to long ago they gave us the choice of staying Cherokee or going back to just being Delaware. Well as Delaware is what I am I chose to remain Delaware and am no longer in the Cherokee tribe. They decided you had to be one or the other not both. Go figure???

I wonder whose Idea that was in the first place.

I agree. Just what makes one government think it's okay to say who belongs to what group within that government.I am proud to be an American, I have several ancestors who fought and died for this country. I am also proud to be Native. I don't like being told who I can belong to. Can I get an Amen?

I would be interested in something like this too- We were also told that we had cherokee in us and then I found out my great granddaddy came here from somewhere in Texas instead of E. Tenn like I had thought for a long time. So I don't know about the Cherokee. We also were told that were Black Dutch and on another side of the family they said black irish- Who knows ?
Last year A female elder who stopped by where we were having our flea market every week, singled me out and started asking me questions about my heritage. I really couldn't give her any specifics because I really don't know-- Then she asked me to see my teeth. Strange I thought but I didn't care so I opened my mouth and she looked in and said yeah definitely native blood. I would really like to know more about my lineage but I have no idea where to start. Has anyone ever heard of someone looking at your teeth and determining your ancestry? I don't necessarily have a lot of faith in the teeth thing , but I don't entirely dismiss it either as I have not had any info on this kind of thing. I knew that they were using genetics to trace ancestry to areas of Africa , but have not heard about genetic tracing for native americans.

Would really like input and info on this subject--Wayne

Oh I forgot to mention I did a search for some of the surnames ( that I knew) and found out some of the origins. This has been a while and I hope my memory is correct--
Hollowell---Dutch
cudd- irish
chamberlain-- english
bettie--irish
adams--i forgot
phillips-- i forgot
cash--forgot too

She was looking to see if you had Asian Shovel teeth, people with Native American Hertiage most often(but not always) have Asian Shovel teeth. I got them...

< SEE ....lol. The inside of the upper set of the front teeth are more concave and have kinda like a ridge along the top.

Hey, we might be cousins of sorts.....My grandfather was a Cudd.

Cool info about the teeth. I'm running my tongue over my "shovels" right now.
