Wow, it has been so long since I have been on here...everytime I see the emails, I feel like I need to be here...and I do.
One thing I have been pondering as of late is about my hertiage. My grandmother's grandmother and grandfather were both of Cherokee blood which makes me about 1/16th, which is not much at all. I just finished reading "Being Indian" and thought about the one part where it says "Hearing your white relatives say they are 1/2, 1/4..." etc. I suppose the real question is that am I still accepted as a Cherokee because of my other heritage? Should I not, out of respect, follow the ways?
