What's up with all these shite thread swastikas? I'm not going to eat until the posting improves.

I know we were doomed to be enemies by birth, collegiate choice, and grasp of basic table manners, but I think we should work together against Missouri more often. Like the Batman and that crazy green-haired clown, the Volunteer, joining forces to step on a fire ant hill.

It's an odd pairing but the cause is just and our hearts are true.

Not really that odd considering how red both of your necks are.

Brother! If "Suicide Squad" taught me anything, and it didn't because it's hard to concentrate on the stuff going on in the general area outside of a well-fitted pair of short shorts, it's that Missouri sucks and Vandy and Tennessee should all work together to rid the world of a state where exploding rent-by-the-hour motel rooms are responsible for roughly 70% of all deaths.

Actually, I fell asleep halfway through, so I'm just assuming any movie where the lens cap was removed before shooting conveys this important message in one way or another.

Yes, because I'm half-Cherokee, you fricking racist.

If your other half is a Land Rover you can pretty much go anywhere

I'm 1/16th through one grandparent and some more through another that goes back to the Miller Rolls. However, the idea that anyone would call either one of us rednecks is the height of hilarity.

Both of my grandmothers told me I was 1/16 Cherokee on their sides, which would make me 1/8th total, and I always believed them even though that is one of the few parts of our genealogy that hasn't been verified. But I read this article a few months ago that made me think about the issue a bit more deeply, and now I'm not so sure. I think you'd find it an interesting read. In fact, I suspect most Southerners will recognize parts of our culture in it. Cherokee blood....

And, yes, we're about as far from redneck as it gets here. I mean, I love and respect my redneck relations and all, but I think they'd be just as amused at the idea of me being one myself.

Thanks for the article. I knew there was a high number of southern aristocrats who claimed Cherokee descent and almost all of them through 'Cherokee Princesses' but I had no idea that their motivations were so tied to the romantic antebellum period and an odd romanticized warping of self-determination into support for what would become States Rights and the Confederate Cause.

A few of my Aunts and Uncles looked like they stepped off the rez while one looked like he was Italian. One of my cousins actually got harrassed on a high school graduation trip to Mexico by Mexican Police/Security who assumed he was Mexican and that he shouldn't be at an American resort. I'm pretty pale but inherited some features including coal black eyes.

I've tracked down enough of the heritage to know it's legit but not enough to know which tribes beyond Cherokee on one line I descend from. I got disheartened after I learned that the Eastern Band of Cherokee had closed membership. The Western Band is more open but they're so far away that it seems pointless. Interestingly, no one in my family ever claimed a 'princess' or even a grandmother as a Native American forebear -- both were male relatives/great-grandfathers.

One of these days I need to pay for help figuring it all out because I know precious little about any of my heritage on either side.

And I hear ya on the redneck thing. I love the ones in my family to death but they'd laugh their asses off at the thought of me as a redneck.

That's cool. I'm 1/8 Blackfoot. My maternal Great Grandmother was 100% Blackfoot from Montana.

I've been back to Montana to learn about the culture and got a chance to go into Canada for a couple of weeks as a First Nation descendant.

The entire experience was amazing, and I'm glad I got to understand my blood and the movement.

My great great grandfather is buried at Little Big Horn. I grew up within the boundaries of the Sioux nation. I'm not saying a damn thing.

My great-great grandmother on my mom's side of the family was 100% Cherokee.

That's awesome. I'd love to be able to explore a bit more of my roots and work out any of the other tribes in there. It's difficult to really do much of that given relocation and everything being out West. Like I said though, one of these days I'm going to hire someone who know genealogy better than I do so I can figure out more about my family.
