"Im part Cherokee" ....one of the signs of the South.

[TheBigGuy]

not me...nothing at all Cherokee here (unless there is a long lost branch that made it to Lublin, Poland).

But how many times have I heard this when I lived in Kentucky. I hear it up here in SW Ohio too as there alot of folks from KY, WVA, and Tenn here.

For some reason the Cherokee sure where into marrying white folks because there seems to be an inordinate number of folks out there who say they have soime Cherokeee blood in them.

Frankly I dont believe it, and neither does the US census. The census says the number of folks who claim to be part Cherokee way ousrip those who claim to be part some other tribe. The census folks say this a statistical anomaly that bears further study. I'll bet it does!.

Id expect more folks to be part Choctaw, Creek, and Chicksaw as much as part Cherokee.
