Most of the intensely southern, rural mountainous decendents are strongly Cherokee in blood--the ones with the rebel flags on pickup trucks.

Also the Southern and Midwest accents are heavily influenced by the indian tribes in their regions. The plains indians spoke in an almost monotone voice the accent seen in movies, the Cherokee and Eastern tribes accent were almost musical.

They do not appreciate the mistake.
