O'siyo (Hello)I am part Cherokee but cannot prove it due to no documentation. Always have been appauled how the white man treated our people yet some people in other ethic groups do not recognize the hell our people endured. I proudly honor my heritiage. I am happy to see this wonderful presentation. Wado! (Thank you!) I leave you with this: Yigaquu osaniyu advanvto adadiligi nigohilvi nasqur utloyasdi..nvwadohiyadv (My friends, May the Great Spirits blessings always be with you..Peace)

my heart aches for your loss, my throat chokes with more tears than a man can ever cryhell dwells amongst us still and is inflicted by man upon man and yet we NEVER learn to live together making the most of this earth. "man shall inherit the earth and destroy it and all that lies there-in"i cannot put things right, i would not patronise with an apology that is not mine to give but i feel the suffering of your ancestors and mine and will not do what they did nor what was done to them.

Hi Suki.. my greatgrandmother was full blood Cherokee. She and some of her family slipped away from the forced march and she married a white logger in Northern Louisiana, on the boundary between Louisiana and Arkansas.I too, would love to know some of my ancestors but we have no documents to prove our heritage.I love coming here and listening to the awesome music and reading about my Cherokee family...

Thank you for this beautiful presentation of what happened to our brothers and sisters who were devastated by the political system.

Yeah. My father's grandmother was full-blood Cherokee...so I am 1/8. That is really all I know about her. It can be really tough to find records on our Native American ancestors due to the way they were treated by some people in this country. I can't even register as a member of the tribe in Oklahoma since I can't find any proof on paper about her that is acceptable to them.

My grandmother's grandmother was Cherokee. She herself looked more Native than white, with black hair and darker skin. She was a feisty old bird and was quite a character, but I digress...I hope to find information about her one day. All I know is that my grandmother was from northern Alabama.By the way, great video.

Please do not include all whites, there are some of us who recognize the cruelty put upon the people. Some of us are reincarnates of the Native people, would they choose us, if we could not be 'changed'? Love and compassion know no boundrys. |
