So my sister has a lot of free time on her hands on account of not working and she spends a lot of that time combing through census records and other Ancestry.com records to explore our family tree. She's obsessed with the Native American side of our history and loves to talk about her findings to the family. Well, I guess she found some letter written by the Cherokee Nation to George Washington in 1789 about the Chief they put into power. That Chief being our great great great great great great grandfather... or however you express it six times "great". She somehow traced our lineage to him, which is pretty cool I guess. I don't know if it has any practical applications, but it's an interesting piece of trivia. Even if it was officially recognized, I don't think it would amount to much of anything since I haven't spent ANY of my life interacting with any tribes. I'd just be an outsider trying to claim something for posterity. What are your thoughts, CE?
