i do im 1/8th cherokee offically and ? 1/16th or less apache. i love to study, visit, and do native american things. i am extremly proud of my heritage. even though i may not look native american exactly blue eyes, etc. but its one of the main things that help me get out of the bed and love life if not the main one. I honor all native americans out there espically you full blooded who really live and leran by the culture. But thats why when im looked down upon by high blood native americans it makes me very sad. I wish i would just be accepted as native american. Its not like im lying at all about my heritage i know for a fact im part cherokee and a little tiny apache, also i love the culture and society of lumbee, iroquis, and lakota and sioux and all the small ones too. I hope and this is one of my life goals is to live in a native american community, marry a native american, and maybe join the tribe of cherokees.

My dad's side of the family is Cherokee and on my Mom's side it's Apache. This is why I say I"m A REAL AMERICAN! You are too and thank you for wanting to keep with what's real. I am extremely proud of my heritage as well. I have blue eyes too, don't feel bad! It happens over generations, but alot of people are stupid and don't underatand that. I love the heritage and the culture, that's what America was meant to be, not all this mixed up bullshit the stupid whor*&s left it become by interbreeding with anything that would have them. Your a true AMerican and so am I. Glad to meet someone REAL in this country!!!

No doubt there are many sites and museums to find. According to Sitting Bull there isn't any or much division in the spirit world between tribes. They have much in common to talk about.
