Haida on my fathers side. Sioux on my mothers side. My father is full-blood and my mother was. So I consider myself full-blood Indian.
Some say that there are no full bloods left. pfft there’s a whole community of full-bloods not 40mi from where I live.
You wouldn’t mistake Me for anything but Indian.(So sorry thats the only way I know how to post a pic)
We’ll OK when I go to CA I’m usually mistaken for hispanic
I believe Sofa King is Native American.
Recessive genes are funny things. There’s one in my maternal side that makes you pale/blue or green eyed. Out of my generation, I was the one to get it. Green eyes and skin the color of cream.
I have some Cherokee features - my eyes are almond shaped and I have high cheekbones.
Not Native at all… as far as I know. The OP got me thinking though… along with North, Central and South American Indians (is it okay to use that word again?), I’d be curious if there were any Australian Aborigines or Maoris on the boards too.
Two Native American Great Grandmothers: one Cherokee and one Oswego. I am fair , but have high cheekbones and some good wild hair. I often wonder about my G-Grandmothers; what was it like to endure a life that was hard for Native Americans, why the hell did they marry white men? If I had one wish, it would be to go back in time and ask them why they intermarried, what was to be gained?
At the same time, my great-grandfather told my mother to never forget we are Cherokee, as his mother told him. I won’t forget; I learn, but am still often lost. Neither here nor there. I wonder if this is often the fate for those with mixed Euro-Am-Indian blood.
Cherokee.
Tahlequah Tribe.
Not full-blood.
I look overwhelmingly Italian (or so I’ve been told… I think I look like any other white guy) minus the darker complexion. My forearms have a very light tan from wearing short sleeves but everywhere else, I’m pretty light.
Probably the Irish in me.
I am a little itty bitty part Cherokee. A female ancestor came off the Trail of Tears and married into our family, passing as white I believe (because no-one in the last two or three generations was aware of her ethnicity until recently). She would have been my great-great-great grandmother, so that makes it about 1/32. Sure wish I’d known that when I was trying to get into college and score student loans! Just kidding, the percentage is too small for anything like that.
Interestingly, another branch of our family has in it an unrepentant Indian fighter and buffalo hunter (slaughterer) who founded a town in Texas that is now a thriving community near Houston.

I am at least 1/2 cherokee as far as we have found with geneology. My great grandmother on my mom’s side is full blooded and on my dad’s side I get quite a bit as well. My mother and I are planning on joining the closest tribe we can find around here…soon 
Cherokee great-grandmother. And she LOOKED it. It’s sort of been swished around in Black Irish/Dutch genes, along with a healthy helping of German.
So I don’t LOOK Native American terribly. But I consider myself as much an “Indian” as a “paleface.”
