One cannot easily know where they are going until they first know where they have been. Every person, with even a little native blood, deserves to know from whence they came.

Federal law passed in 1978 requires that native adoptees have access to certain information about their heritage. Know your rights.
Each federally recognized tribe has the freedom to determine membership based upon the degree of blood quantum. While some tribes stop at 1/4, the Cherokee Nation allows membership down to 1/16. Seek membership in the Cherokee nation for honorable reasons. The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma issues no individual gaming revenues as many western tribes do.

Fred, Whatever expert knowledge I may have in the realm of genealogy is strictly limited to how to connect oneself to an original Dawes Roll enrollee in NE Oklahoma and miscellaneous advice regarding
Hi Lana, Let me begin by saying that I am not a genealogist and don't do genealogical research for others, but I do try hard to tangentially direct folks with circumstances like yours as best I can. You
