Nice. BTW I am one quarter Cherokee. I got briefly involved with the Alabama Cherokee Council, but it was mainly a bunch of too white and too citified to really get much out of it yahoos.

I guess I just continue to be half Irish and one quarter English.

I had a great grand mother on each side of the family who were Cherokee. I was only 5 when the last one passed away. She was blind and I remember that she called me "Little Hawk". When I was in the USAF, an old Cherokee man I met in Oklahoma when I was 20 looked at me and said, "Hello Little Hawk". I said hello back. The next day I called my mom and asked, "Didn't Grannie Perry call me Little Hawk". She said yes. To this day this freaks me out. I looked for the man for 2 days and couldn't find him. My first wife was the only witness and suggested that maybe the old man called all 6' 2" green eyed light brown haired young men Little Hawk.

Honors to you Flurry. What a wonderful story about your heritage. Native Americans are a very noble people.

When my sister was alive many strange events happened in our travels. We had a very special relationship and were very close. When I see the hawk I think of her.

I, too, have some Seneca blood from my dad's mother.
My cousins are very definately Native American, blue black hair, and black eyes.
