I also had the Cherokee myth. On my mothers side. I have several physical features that made me believe. Including difficulty growing facial hair and lactose intolerance.

But 0.0% per a DNA test. My mama, who is not a liberal by any definition, seemed a little disappointed.

I’m not sure why that myth has had so much attraction to so many of us down south. I don’t think it is white guilt for most.

I’m 86% British, 8% Irish/Scotch/Welsh, and a few others. No American Indian.

My mother-in-law claimed Cherokee lineage. When my brother-in-law did a 23 and me test earlier this year, it showed no Native American genealogy, and all Northern European. The mother-in-law was disappointed.
