[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 469851, member: 84"] Oh.......well darn it, I've had so many people get in my face about the whole princess deal that I'm a tad touchy by it. lol I'm siksika via my paternal grandma and supposedly cherokee (western) via my paternal grandpa. The cherokee I dunno about. I know my grandparents spent a lot of time going from rez to rez each summer. Someone has movies and pictures of their trips. Grandpa was so ticked at his kids total lack of interest because they were busy trying to fit in to life off the rez, he kept his info to himself. I grew up in an exceptionally racist area (still is). So I don't claim the cherokee part because I simply am not sure. Some day I may check it out and see. I'm far to sketchy on most of my info because once she left my dad my mom was h*ll bent on trying to get everyone to forget she married an Indian. We rarely were allowed to see that side of the family. What I learned about my culture came as an adult when I went back "home" to learn. That make me chuckle. I tell people the side of my family that is white didn't even get here until the beginning of the 20th century. Would be a tad difficult for them to have done much. :rofl: Goes to show assuming is never a good idea. lol [/QUOTE]
