Love the play on words at the end there. I have Cherokee in my ancestry. Sadly it did not show up in a genetic test my sister had. I guess it goes too far back.

The Cherokees have more blue-eyed blonde Enrolled Tribal Members than any other tribe as they foolishly welcomed Europeans, so perhaps you only had one ancestor who was not 100% Cherokee? Perhaps you are reincarnate Cherokee, aka all heart? Aloha!

Andrew Jackson? Trail Of Tears. The Chumash Indians (several groups of California Indians) ...stand up to anti-tribal rhetoric. I am an avid Chumash Casino goer until covid shut it down...a much-needed Casino for the Chumash! Thankfully the house always wins! Good one Rico
