Now that we’ve located a surviving Nansemond, I see a casino in his future.
Funny tongue-in-cheek article. Hey, maybe that should be his new Native American name.
That’s enough Indian DNA to get a job at Harvard doing nothing for $400 G’s a year.
but, does your papaw have high cheekbones?
I like Indians (rain dance not tech support).
Unless I’ve forgotten my grammar school geography, Nansemond County has now become Suffolk, VA. My father traced our ancestry back to Colonial days in the Jamestown area and there were family rumors about a Native American in the mix somewhere. I always surmised this one would have been from the Nottoway Tribe, or maybe the Chickahominy. Unfortunately, whatever paper trail might have existed was lost in courthouse fire(s). Sad - would have been nice to know.
If he is gay - that’s the end of the genetic line. No more Indians for him.
.....make sure you mail in a few DNA
samples to a few labs....this way the
Gubment can record even more about you
My Indian ... er, Native American ancestry traces back to that enigmatic and disoriented group, the lost tribe of the Fukawi ...
I have wondered in the past few years, with the endless grievance industry screaming that there are enough XXX underrepresented category and demands to spend more money to recruit and advance whatever category can scream the loudest, why the whole house of cards doesn’t collapse with the new self identification craze? Got a problem in the executive suite, just have have the biological males identify as women, gays, martians, or whatever.
I have no desire to know about my lineage pre 20th Century. Too many times I heard stories from my grandparents about the black sheep in the family. You know the cattle rustlers, swindlers and white slavers. Best let sleeping relatives lie.
...I’m Not 100% White. Honest Injun!-A heap big personal discovery...
A post that could never be legitimately done by you know who.
If you can “identify” as any of 98 different “genders” at any given moment, you ought to be able to “identify” as any given “race” at any given moment.
I don’t care what percentage you are of what race.
But if you are not 100% American, take a long hike on a short pier.
This line reminds me of a South Park episode.
You know, the one where Cartman thinks he is a redhead and is in a room with many other redheads, goading them into mass murder of non-redheads, when he is informed that he is not actually a redhead.
Suddenly his message changes.
Just wait until he has to fill in the 2020 Census papers!!!
One of the things that allowed the Hessians to tell British soldiers from American was that the Americans were "Biscuit colored" in other words, of mixed heritage. Lots more guys came over then girls.
And no, aside from a story to tell your children it does not get you anything.
So I guess in Bruce Bawer's case it does not get him anything.
Good one! My husband has a similar story. He is 82 and when he was a little boy he asked his great aunt if he was part Indian. He wanted to be so badly. She said yes, there was an Indian grandmother, but dont worry, she was the white folks kind Indian.
He was one happy little boy!
