"1/64 ????

I didn't know you could splice the bloodline that much?"

Sure. We sat and computed one day all the various bloodlines and figured that our kids are a total of 1/32 Indian.

Reminds me of an episode of "The Sopranos" :-)

Thanks for the ping. I had never heard Hannah's story before.

What a woman! Her story deserves to be told!

I'm amazed that there is interest in making this movie since it is not PC today to report any 'savage' behavior by native Americns.

Hmmm, sounds very similar to the Jenny Wiley story from eastern Kentucky. Found here.

Excerpt...

The settlement was defenseless, the Harmans, Tice-Daniel-George-Henry Skaggs -James Skaggs and young Henry Skaggs-Sid Damron and Allen Draper were all away on a hunting trip to get meat in preparation of winter.

I don't believe this. The Wiley story took place just a few miles from where I was born (Louisa, Kentucky), but I did not know my ancestors were involved in the story itself. The Skaggs men mentioned here are all relatives of mine.

LOL! I have no image of Michael Mann, no idea what he looks like. I do like some of his movies, though.

If one parent was Indian, you'd be half; one grandparent, 1/4; one great-grandparent, 1/16 and so on.

Michael Mann

[Guenevere]

LOLOL!!

[Tax-chick]

Not exactly cute.

[Tax-chick]

My husband is Indian, too :-).

[Guenevere]

Thanks....I thought it might be 1/16...

My dad & I take after the Irish side of the family (except for the cheekbones)....

His mother and brother definitely take after the Cherokee...(she & her mother were stunning in their youth)

[Guenevere]

I have always been proud of that little bit of Cherokee bloodline.

[Guenevere]

Last of the Mohicans...is an excellent film....perfectly cast!

[Guenevere]

Seriously?...(I only question because of the smiley face)

[Pharmboy]

Guys can't tell, for the most part. We can tell that, for instance, Tom Cruise or Robb Lowe are good looking, but don't get Brad Pitt.

[TomSmedley]

But...but...what about the Indian with the tear rolling down his cheek at the pollution?

Cody Iron Eyes was actually an Italian actor.

[Guenevere]

Oh c'mon :)

What's not to get about Brad Pitt!!!!!

He's worth 100 Tom Cruises....and Robb Lowe!!!-get outta here!!!
