i hope the day NEVER comes when i'm NOT considered "RED enough" to remain an enrolled member of the nation!!! (IF the "pins" decide to try that, they will have a FIGHT on their hands!!!)

My wife and children have a tiny percentage of Cherokee blood. AFAIK, not enough to be on the tribal roles, but enough that we thought it cool. My wife is no longer so proud of that blood. I don't think I have any such blood, but can't swear to it. Grandma used to name a dozen or so nationalities we shared, but I can only remember ten of them. She had long, dark, thick blue-black hair that gleamed in the sun when I was a little boy. I do remember that they made a point of stopping by the Cherokee reservation on a trip to Michigan, back in the late '60's or early '70's. I've always wondered why there, and none of the other places.

I also wonder how Sequoya would feel about this new development.
