Natives can look like anyone." I beg to differ, my tribe goes by blood quantum, 1/4 as a matter of fact, and when I visit the rez or attend a Tribal meeting I can truly see that we all look alike. Not a blond head in sight! And yes we do recognize each other as native. White people always ask if I'm Asian. I never get that from Indians.<BR/>I don't think there is anything wrong or racist wanting Indians to actually have Indian blood. <BR/>I can't help but think that if the Cherokee had implemented a blood quantum way back "when" they would not be having these problems today. You know what they say, hindsight is 20/20. As I have said before, my heart goes out to the Cherokee people and I wish them well.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>AnonymouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
