You prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Lennox Baylor Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
South Carolina is where my Cherokee r from too. Thank you more than words for speaking my truth into my ears. My heart doesn't ache soo much today. Thank you.
My father was Cherokee, and he told me the oral History of our people. There so much more to our existence that they will never know ,and I will never tell. Miss you Dad.
My grandmother had a lot of Cherokee in her. She told me when I was a little girl that my siblings and I are part Cherokee. My grandmother's grandmother was full blood Cherokee and came from South Carolina. Her mother was also Cherokee and then they moved to Tennessee when my grandmother was a young girl! But, however, we did have relatives who were forced to walk the Trail of Tears, and yes some did pass away along the trail. My dad did a complete family tree on both his and my mother's family. Dad was even able to find exactly what tribe my great great great grandmother came from in South Carolina. My sister now has all the family tree at her home since both of our parents are now in heaven with our Lord. It's a great history but at the same time it's a sad part of history!!!!
No people are indigenous to this continent - within seconds of each other ALL humans arrived over during earth-time, horses Indians acquired came from Europeans/Spain - there were on foot, woman and children were perpetual laborers, they and dogs pulled the smaller plains-Indian teepees, teepees only, became larger after horses were acquired.... anyone born here is Native American. Another fact, vastly more Indians died at the hands of other Indians - conflicts, over land/territory were commonplace, for thousands of years. Average life expectancy 30, 40 if lucky. Most of us have white in us, we can 'go back' anytime, to Africa - cradle of mankind.
They were here at least 5000 years before me, haha... when do you call it? I'm thinking that's indigenous enough for me. And you can call whatever you like!😁 good luck to you
My father was Cherokee and my mother was black my grandfather always told us about the third tumbling of the earth and I love being on the reservation the wind hitting my face as I ran back then you could drink water from the streams not like today Mother Earth was always giving to us
The little bit of Cherokee blood I have in me came from those who hid and stayed behind instead of going on the Trail of Tears. I have traveled much and lived in many places, yet I am always drawn back to the lower town area because this is the only place in the world which feels like home. I could have been richer living elsewhere but I'm old now and it doesn't matter. I will die here happy.
My family did the same. I traced my Tsilagi ancestor back to 1750 in Oconee County SC. An Irish trader married a woman of the aniwaya clan . 2 generations later, they dropped the cherokee identification and intermarried until the family history was gone. Until I re-discovered it. Good luck in your search, the history is amazing.
The Cherokee and a few of their lower towns were as far down as the Midlands in South Carolina. They traded at Fort Congaree #1 after it was established in 1718 along the Congaree River in what is now Cayce. They also raided in that same area of SC during the First and Second Cherokee Wars in the mid 1700s. Many people of Cherokee (and other people with different ancestral Native American heritage) wether full-bloods or mixed ancestry still live all over SC and in many areas of the Nation. The Cherokee left a rich heritage on this nation like so many other Native nations did.
My ggggrandmother was Native American, but we aren't sure of her tribal affliation but possibly Yuchi based on where she lived in SC. She married a man from Denmark. SC advertised for settlers from Switzerland, Scandanavia, and Germany during the Colonial era.

I’m native to South Carolina too. Bringing Slaves from Africa was outlawed in 1808 (some did not follow that law but not much) so nobody alive would have been brought on a boat. What part of the state are you from?
lacola smith that's right beautiful sister, we know who they are $5 dollar Dawes Rolls colonial occupiers and who we are, the aboriginal indigenous nation's.
This is great! A good time for something like this exists now. With the present I-85 project coming thru it would be great to bring public attention to Buffalo Creek near Broad River. Some called it a swamp. Others, a wetland. Maybe a few considered it a bog. It was drained off and the creek was channeled when the interstate first came. All that is left is the mouth of Buffalo into the Broad and access is VERY limited! Maybe SCDOT could leave some property in that area FOR US, for the people who live here! Surely, a conservation easement or gift to DNR or let our county control it for parks & recreation.
Wow, how I long to know more about my paternal Indian heritage from South Carolina, my Great, Great, Great grandmother was half Indian and white. Such AMAZING HISTORY!
My dad . Lived in cheraw his entire life. An passed. As well my grandma. But they were so Admit on teaching me where I come from. My family holds the name pegues. I’m trying to do my family tree. So this helped ☺️
Very well made video. Hi Keith ❤ I was taught Native American dances when I was in gym class in the first grade in Texas and then learned even more about them when I moved to South Carolina with my parents when I was nine years old.
When i was a teenager, I was told Native Americans can't grow beards, and I am of Native American ancestry Shawnee Cherokee, and Powhatan i can't grow beard i tried, and i can only get small patches as a English person i'm proud of Native American roots.
I live in Tn and I have just found out in the last 2 months that my great great grandmother was born in Cherokee South Carolina, and it lists her father and grandfather but it stops right there. No real information on them. Are there any possible records in SC to find out more? I’ve always known there was Cherokee in my Ancestry, but never had specific names until now. Can anyone please help?
Same for me. Both great grandparents born in Cherokee South Carolina but no records of their parents then the spelling of their last names changed during the time of the trail of tears.
Cherokee county! There is no Cherokee SC! You have a Cherokee Co in NC then you also have Cherokee NC where the boundary is it isn't in Cherokee county at all! so look in Cherokee county for records ..
Roni Seawright Thank you for the info! I had searched for Cherokee SC and couldn’t find it. I thought it was odd it couldn’t be found. I knew of Cherokee NC because I’ve been there. Ancestry needs to fix their records as it has several of my Cherokee ancestors being born and dying in Cherokee SC.
It would be the upstate SC area. Major cities of that are a Spartanburg and Greenville, SC. That's I-85 side of NC/SC and surrounding towns in between are what you are looking for. @Michelle Holt. I believe Gaffney, SC is in a Cherokee County. For history records sake, this county was parts of other surrounding counties until 1897, if you are trying to go back further than him. These counties are York, Union, and Spartanburg. Check Gaffney, SC first.
Search for wes *takaury (*sp) he traveled this area in 1960s and took all statements from many native Americans and blacks in the area. This is where I found my family. First names mentioned in this writing. My GGF was born to a native american woman and a black man. Listed as B, M, and finally W in SC Censuses over the years. Manson I Clark (GGF)-south carolina Carrie (nee) Clark (GM) (Simmons, Grooms) South Carolina Alene (nee) Simmons (M) (Anderson, Hennings, Assmussen) South Carolina
Yes that is what we were told. I use to sing a song. They changed it to Patty Cake Bakers Man. Little did they know, It came back to ME 😁 Peace and Love my People I've lost
offspring. Happened in west Georgia. When Jackson friend the fake creek Indian sold 20 million plus acres. The real creek beheaded him in his yard in Carrolton Georgia
🥀I always go to North Carolina to see "Unto These Hills" it's a good way to learn more about Cherokee life they act out the stories of what they went through🥀It's part of my life🥀☝️🥀
I now have proof that my ancestors were Cherokee. I am so proud! I love the mountains of South Carolina. I go there to reconnect with the earth and meditate. I love my people and my Cherokee history. I am truly ashamed of my European heritage. Even though I am white, my blood runs Cherokee. I will forever salute my forefathers and mothers and love the land they walked on!
You are obviously a product of what is called the $5 Indian! Just to reap the benfits owed to the real indigenous people of America. The copper colored nijii!
@Elvis Edge RR Woodward I researched my family heritage. My grandfathers dad married an in indigenous woman. Also my grandmothers mother married indigenous. That’s just on one side. I know it’s not a lot but it’s enough for me to appreciate the heritage. That spirit lives in me.
My great grandmother was Indian, or part Indian. whether she Cherokee or not my mother and her older sister talked about their father’s Indian heritage, in my one aunts pictures. I could see it in her features of the picture I still have she had some Indian blood , in her and their brothers hair was straight with fine texture not kinky. They lived in New Market Maryland where Cherokee Indian migrated several of my great aunts had those features. Most people think about Indian women as being thin like Pocahontas, I believe that may have been the norm for young women but that was only in the story about an English man with the settler better known as Columbus
I am just now learning about my heritage. How mad I am that all life I was kept from learning about my ancestors and I always felt at peace and connected to the nature. I am making up for lost time. I want to show nothing but respect and love for all.
Hi. I am going to sing “ WALELA” (Amazing Grace) in the Cherokee dialect to pay homage to my Cherokee ancestry, my great great grandmother and Native Americans everywhere. I would love to use this video as the backdrop and will give you complete credit for the video. I am not monetized on RUclips, I make no money singing here. I simply do it because I love singing. Could I please use this video with my song?
Y'all need to acknowledge the copper skinned Cherokees that the Scots-Irish mated with to avoid oppression. Y'all always ignore this fact and part of history. We deserve recognition straight up!!!!
@@religionisatragedy8537 People were and still are killed for claiming their heritage as a Native. The darker the skin the more antagonistic colonials were/are. Things haven’t changed. It’s the same story for all Melanated Peoples
@@grooveywrldllc3001 no its not "the same for all melanated peoples", and no one alive today has been killed because they claimed indian heritage. And you need to on you're wording,the way you worded that sentence it sounded like the Scots Irish were the ones avoiding persecution
@@religionisatragedy8537 The fact that you asked your question means you knew exactly the context of the information presented. And yes they are Melanated Peoples are trafficked, murdered and sold for body parts at a disproportionate rate than any other race. Especially Melanated women and children. And how would you know that? So called “African Americans” who claim their Native Heritage get attacked everyday.
@@grooveywrldllc3001 i asked the question because your wording didn't make sense. And human trafficking is not the same as being attacked for being retarded?
Like this lady says, my granny did NOT want to talk about being Cherokee! But I asked soo many questions anyway. I pulled it out of her. I never understood why it hurt soo bad to talk about it! I am Scottish on daddy's side and Cherokee on moma's side. And I wanted to know my Cherokee history and meet my relatives. Granny would become very angry and refuse to talk about it!! This still aches in my ❤!
After the Trail of Tears, most lived in fear of being rounded up like animals and forced west. If they remained outside of I.T., they stayed quiet, to remain in the East, which had been their home for thousands of years.
live free, i keep seeing this $5 dollar indian thing ? always from blacks. on the Dawes rolls it plainly states what race one was . many whites went with their indain spouse. many slaves went with their masters. all intermingled, and created us. the contemporary melting pot american . unless you are full blood, just let it go !
No of the people speaking on the video claim to be Cherokee. The Cherokee museum of SC this video was made for is actually tied with the official one in NC. Actual members of the tribe (even some actors from Unto these Hills) are part of the SC board. Don’t assume things you don’t know about.
@John Kimber 😂😂 Well why are u the one mad then. Me I dont care either way. I sure wouldnt let someone's opinion get me out of my element and anger me. Fuck what anyone has to say John it's their opinion. No matter what u say people will always believe what they want to believe for example The Bible and its mythology😂
My mom's side is from Florence, Sc & was raised on a Plantation there. My mom's mother left Sc at 19 , because she refused to work for 1-2$. She moved to Buffalo, Ny . Once she got to Ny, found a job working for 2 wealthy lawyer's. My grandma was a house maid and she raised their kid's. Finally, she saved up enough money to get a house built in North Augusta,S.C for her 6, children and her mom. She stayed in Ny , and continued to pay for the mortgage. However, the government recently changed my family's address to Beech Island, Sc. My grandma's , mentioned Cherokee & Blackfoot, Native.
You're Gorgeous! Our Ancestors Are Warriors My Ancestors families come from Cheraw SC We ended up all across NC and SC I grew up In Maxton N.C. It feels like Home when I visit my people in S.C.! ❤
i am the grandson of the son of william born in dutch fork SoutCarolina in 1943 my name is franklin debb rice named after the president of the time.i have been told that i am 50 to 75% CHerokee like to find out more
I’ve heard a Cherokee Historian speak about old, handed down stories within the tribe that told of “killing the old, blue eyed ancient ones” found in the southeastern territory...when the Indians arrived.
I was able to find the Cherokee in our family tree, knee it was there just didn't realize it was so close. I do remember my mom hushing my great uncle. Well they are gone now. Wonder if I will ever know what I should've been taught
Virginia, I see you and your interest. I’m a great grandson of The Great Snake , the Path Finder, Chief Going Snake , his son Young Deer, and his son Indian John Young Deer Tidwell . I am Cherokee, do you see me ?
I am so interested on learning more about cherokee because my grandfather on moms side is cherokee. . Even though i might not have cherokee which i am not sure if i do or do not , but anyways i am so interested knowing their culture more.
I would like to talk to Cherokee's and learrn about my ancestry as cherokee-I am part irish and I ask no favors from Indian nation but desire to just be known by my Cherokee ancestry and not as caucasian as was raised-I declare I am a human being
@@rebeccalankford2652 thats bullshit to make you and your kind feel better about stealing heritage why dont yall connect to Europes "rich heritage" oh yall cant bc yal dont acknowledge the fact that yall come from the caucus mountains do your research
@@davorienray453 What makes you ASSUME I have not done research. Your hateful and racist. Your and admixture of people with their religions and cultures. DNA DOES NOT LIE.

No people are indigenous to this continent - within seconds of each other ALL humans arrived over during earth-time, horses Indians acquired came from Europeans/Spain - there were on foot, woman and children were perpetual laborers, they and dogs pulled the smaller plains-Indian teepees, teepees only, became larger after horses were acquired.... anyone born here is Native American.

One mistake at 4:46. "The peach was brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century," Don't know about plums. Fruit was only one of the many things brought to the Americas that made life better.
Always had love and respect for the Native American way of life, recently found out through DNA testing that i have zero native blood, even though being told both sides of the family had either cherokee or creek, rather disappointing, but still doesn't destroy my interest in the way of life of those who were here first
In early times, African slaves were in a strange land, different topography, food sources, and different skills were needed than how they were taught to survive in their African homeland. Same struggle for early European settlers of Jamestown or Plymouth, that probably would not have survived without help. Many died from starvation and disease because they too were in a new environment.
I was kept from knowing about my Cherokee Indian heritage until I was 51 years old. I received information about my ancestry from a relative who I have never met who thought I should know. I have relatives both on the Dawes and Baker Rolls. I can trace my lineage back 400 years to Cheifs Moytoy, Cheif Atacullaculla, Cheif Dragging Canoe and famous people like Nancy Ward and Belle Starr etc. Alot of people dont know that Belle married a Cherokee Indian named Sam Starr, one of my relatives.
HOW THE HELL YOU KNOW AND WHY NOT LET THE TRIBE TELL THEIR OWN STORY, AFTER SO MANY OF THEM HAVE DIE FROM DISEASES, RAPE,, AND MURDERED. SO THE SOUL AND BLOOD OF OUR PEOPLE CRY IN THE SOIL NEVER FORGOTEN
Lol you have no sense of history at all you only get bull shit. If you listen to this video wisely they killed each other the Cherokee were a mostly peaceful tribe, but many were not. The reason why they got small pox is from horses because they NEVER road horses before the Europeans. The American Indians and the American settlers learn a lot from each other. So stop your bull shit
Cherokee have 3 moles on cheek puma have mole on eye brawl puma Pawnee have a mole below the knee apache have a mole on the arm and Pima have mole on left side of the spine rest i brought from another land DAS horse trader to keep there tradition
Not everything that the archeologist say I believe is said and done on what are all the facts. It is said because the Cherokee language is Iroquoian the Cherokee migrated down from the Great Lakes Region. But what I was told is the Cherokee came here from the South. Anthropologist have mentioned that much of the effigies they stole from the graves are very similar to the that of the Aztec and South American tribes. I think it's sad about so many South Carolina people's that are pretty much gone like The Old Cheraw.
Trying to figure out why I look this way. I have a Roman nose, flat forehead, and.....well, you see me. Grammy always said we were Cherokee and Blackfoot. I, however, think we are Creek.
Jenni Flyy Well listen to. this. My mom's mom Grandmother was Shawnee Cherokee Indian from Kentucky. My dad's, side was Polish from my Grandmother. His dad was French and Irish. I look just like a Pollock!!!!!
You can't determine what tribe your ancestors were from based on your physical appearance. LOL Creeks, Cherokee, Blackfoot, they're all of the same "race". That's like a white person saying their mom said they're German but they think they're Swedish because of their sloped nose.
You know, I find it really odd, that when you get down to it, that these three federally recognized Cherokee tribes have such a problem with the state recognized Cherokee tribes, yet they go to pow wows together, because I've seen it.
It seems like there is alot of racism with the federally recognized tribes. Just because you don't have a government issued card. It does not change your lineage.
He also thought he was in India, hence "Indians". Which is why I prefer First Nations. He also only saw natives from tropical areas, who would be much darker than from mountains. And for those snarky comments about blue eyes, there were nothern plains tribes that were well known to have blue/grey eyes and various hair colors, including red, well before major contact with white men. Mandan in particular.
Christopher Columbus the Italian explorer and navigator from the Italian explorer and navigator from the Republic of Genoa who completed four Spanish-based voyages across the Atlantic Ocean sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs, opening the way for the widespread European exploration and European colonization of the Americas. Why are you descendants of invaders calling yourself indigenous people of America, when you are really immigrants on land that were stolen by your ancestors👆👆 The explorer Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he stumbled upon the Americas which was called Turtle Island. Christopher Columbus called the people nice and friendly with Swarty skin color, Black Black; swart. Black-skinned, swarthy; having dark skin, none of you are black dark in skin color, black comes in different shades of dark brown, from light brown to very dark brown we are copper tone people that also paint our skin red and other colors as tribe people do. stop your lies we know who we are, and what you did to our ancestors.
The guy said that he was proud of his heritage and he had blue eyes. I find that interesting!

My dad . Lived in cheraw his entire life. An passed. As well my grandma. But they were so Admit on teaching me where I come from. My family holds the name pegues. I’m trying to do my family tree. So this helped ☺️
Many Cherokee mixed with other's in the mountainous regions and everyone knows that.
My 5th generation grandmother was fullblooded Cherokee
Very well made video. Hi Keith ❤ I was taught Native American dances when I was in gym class in the first grade in Texas and then learned even more about them when I moved to South Carolina with my parents when I was nine years old.
The lies you tell Indians were black
I love my home I was born in Burke County North Carolina southern mountain
When i was a teenager, I was told Native Americans can't grow beards, and I am of Native American ancestry Shawnee Cherokee, and Powhatan i can't grow beard i tried, and i can only get small patches as a English person i'm proud of Native American roots.
Those original Indians were BLACK
@@youuknow4670 sorry the original Indians look like North East Asians not Blacks not even close.
I live in Tn and I have just found out in the last 2 months that my great great grandmother was born in Cherokee South Carolina, and it lists her father and grandfather but it stops right there. No real information on them. Are there any possible records in SC to find out more? I’ve always known there was Cherokee in my Ancestry, but never had specific names until now. Can anyone please help?
Same for me. Both great grandparents born in Cherokee South Carolina but no records of their parents then the spelling of their last names changed during the time of the trail of tears.
Cherokee county! There is no Cherokee SC! You have a Cherokee Co in NC then you also have Cherokee NC where the boundary is it isn't in Cherokee county at all! so look in Cherokee county for records ..
Roni Seawright Thank you for the info! I had searched for Cherokee SC and couldn’t find it. I thought it was odd it couldn’t be found. I knew of Cherokee NC because I’ve been there. Ancestry needs to fix their records as it has several of my Cherokee ancestors being born and dying in Cherokee SC.
It would be the upstate SC area. Major cities of that are a Spartanburg and Greenville, SC. That's I-85 side of NC/SC and surrounding towns in between are what you are looking for. @Michelle Holt. I believe Gaffney, SC is in a Cherokee County. For history records sake, this county was parts of other surrounding counties until 1897, if you are trying to go back further than him. These counties are York, Union, and Spartanburg. Check Gaffney, SC first.
Search for wes *takaury (*sp)
he traveled this area in 1960s and took all statements from many native Americans and blacks in the area. This is where I found my family. First names mentioned in this writing. My GGF was born to a native american woman and a black man. Listed as B, M, and finally W in SC Censuses over the years.

Another fine contribution to society by the Democrat party.

I am 1/16 Cherokee, but the songs and teachings I know ate Lakota
🥀I always go to North Carolina to see "Unto These Hills" it's a good way to learn more about Cherokee life they act out the stories of what they went through🥀It's part of my life🥀☝️🥀

I now have proof that my ancestors were Cherokee. I am so proud! I love the mountains of South Carolina. I go there to reconnect with the earth and meditate. I love my people and my Cherokee history. I am truly ashamed of my European heritage. Even though I am white, my blood runs Cherokee. I will forever salute my forefathers and mothers and love the land they walked on!
You are obviously a product of what is called the $5 Indian! Just to reap the benfits owed to the real indigenous people of America. The copper colored nijii!
@siksika if im fake then tell me where Im really from! You obviously are misinformed and as stupid as you say!
@@nikkimechele123 , the $5 indian, another black myth that exploits the self hate of who you really are.
@Elvis Edge RR Woodward I researched my family heritage. My grandfathers dad married an in indigenous woman. Also my grandmothers mother married indigenous. That’s just on one side. I know it’s not a lot but it’s enough for me to appreciate the heritage. That spirit lives in me.
@@nikkimechele123 That one's easy. You're from Africa.
How is Africa in the Cherokee Nation connected
Slavery
The Cherokee were one of the 5 civilized tribes. They owned slaves.
My grandfather was born in Oconee county and was half Cherokee.
My great grandmother was Indian, or part Indian. whether she Cherokee or not my mother and her older sister talked about
their father’s Indian heritage, in my one aunts pictures. I could see it in her features of the picture I still have she
had some Indian blood , in her and their brothers hair was straight with fine texture not kinky. They lived in
New Market Maryland where Cherokee Indian migrated several of my great aunts had those features. Most people think
about Indian women as being thin like Pocahontas, I believe that may have been the norm for young women but that was
only in the story about an English man with the settler better known as Columbus
My mom is Cherokee. She is the great great grand daughter of a Cherokee Chief! Likely in Alabama.
So you have a bonafide Cherokee princess? Lol.
If your mom is Cherokee, you are Cherokee. ❤️
I have Cherokee blood plus others! 🩸🥰🙌🏼❤️✝️🙌🏼🦅🇺🇸
I am 50 percent Cherokee and love it. We know our history.
Where were you hicks living in 1700 abd 1800's? I have hix/hiicks in my direct blooine from Virginia.
I am just now learning about my heritage. How mad I am that all life I was kept from learning about my ancestors and I always felt at peace and connected to the nature. I am making up for lost time. I want to show nothing but respect and love for all.
Hi. I am going to sing “ WALELA” (Amazing Grace) in the Cherokee dialect to pay homage to my Cherokee ancestry, my great great grandmother and Native Americans everywhere. I would love to use this video as the backdrop and will give you complete credit for the video. I am not monetized on RUclips, I make no money singing here. I simply do it because I love singing. Could I please use this video with my song?
My people are blue eyed indians
Y'all need to acknowledge the copper skinned Cherokees that the Scots-Irish mated with to avoid oppression. Y'all always ignore this fact and part of history. We deserve recognition straight up!!!!
What oppression were they avoiding?
@@religionisatragedy8537 People were and still are killed for claiming their heritage as a Native. The darker the skin the more antagonistic colonials were/are. Things haven’t changed. It’s the same story for all Melanated Peoples
@@grooveywrldllc3001 no its not "the same for all melanated peoples", and no one alive today has been killed because they claimed indian heritage. And you need to on you're wording,the way you worded that sentence it sounded like the Scots Irish were the ones avoiding persecution
@@religionisatragedy8537 The fact that you asked your question means you knew exactly the context of the information presented. And yes they are
Melanated Peoples are trafficked, murdered and sold for body parts at a disproportionate rate than any other race. Especially Melanated women and children. And how would you know that? So called “African Americans” who claim their Native Heritage get attacked everyday.
@@grooveywrldllc3001 i asked the question because your wording didn't make sense. And human trafficking is not the same as being attacked for being retarded?
thank u
Like this lady says, my granny did NOT want to talk about being Cherokee! But I asked soo many questions anyway. I pulled it out of her. I never understood why it hurt soo bad to talk about it! I am Scottish on daddy's side and Cherokee on moma's side. And I wanted to know my Cherokee history and meet my relatives. Granny would become very angry and refuse to talk about it!! This still aches in my ❤!
Good grief...
@@billhosko7723 you do not understand.
After the Trail of Tears, most lived in fear of being rounded up like animals and forced west. If they remained outside of I.T., they stayed quiet, to remain in the East, which had been their home for thousands of years.
My. uncle grandmother on his mom's side was Cherokee woman.
Not far from Waynesville, NC there is a forest of Canadian plants, trees and animals.
$5 indians. Where are the originals?
live free, i keep seeing this $5 dollar indian thing ? always from blacks. on the Dawes rolls it plainly states what race one was . many whites went with their indain spouse. many slaves went with their masters. all intermingled, and created us. the contemporary melting pot american . unless you are full blood, just let it go !
No of the people speaking on the video claim to be Cherokee. The Cherokee museum of SC this video was made for is actually tied with the official one in NC. Actual members of the tribe (even some actors from Unto these Hills) are part of the SC board. Don’t assume things you don’t know about.

My mom's side is from Florence, Sc & was raised on a Plantation there. My mom's mother left Sc at 19 , because she refused to work for 1-2$. She moved to Buffalo, Ny . Once she got to Ny, found a job working for 2 wealthy lawyer's. My grandma was a house maid and she raised their kid's. Finally, she saved up enough money to get a house built in North Augusta,S.C for her 6, children and her mom. She stayed in Ny , and continued to pay for the mortgage. However, the government recently changed my family's address to Beech Island, Sc. My grandma's , mentioned Cherokee & Blackfoot, Native.

i am the grandson of the son of william born in dutch fork SoutCarolina in 1943 my name is franklin debb rice named after the president of the time.i have been told that i am 50 to 75% CHerokee like to find out more
I’ve heard a Cherokee Historian speak about old, handed down stories within the tribe that told of “killing the old, blue eyed ancient ones” found in the southeastern territory...when the Indians arrived.
Myths. They may have encountered DeSotos men but the first Americans were from Asia but there were sucessive waves. Some went extinct.

My mom told me my great great great great grandfather was Daniel Boone
I was able to find the Cherokee in our family tree, knee it was there just didn't realize it was so close. I do remember my mom hushing my great uncle. Well they are gone now. Wonder if I will ever know what I should've been taught
good grief...
Awsome. SPEACH
Virginia, I see you and your interest. I’m a great grandson of The Great Snake , the Path Finder, Chief Going Snake , his son Young Deer, and his son Indian John Young Deer Tidwell . I am Cherokee, do you see me ?
in that painting they are saying to all men you need to smoke the tobacco so please do and your hate will go away cause i am as he is in native ways
I am so interested on learning more about cherokee because my grandfather on moms side is cherokee. . Even though i might not have cherokee which i am not sure if i do or do not , but anyways i am so interested knowing their culture more.
8:40 explaines why there is so many mixed blood. Native blood runs through our veins still
I would like to talk to Cherokee's and learrn about my ancestry as cherokee-I am part irish and I ask no favors from Indian nation but desire to just be known by my Cherokee ancestry and not as caucasian as was raised-I declare I am a human being

STOP THINKING OTHERS OWE YOU AND MAKE A LIFE FOR YOURSELF.
Now I see why our ancestors hid our culture from us because we would’ve all been wiped out completely. Shout out to the ones before me.
No people are indigenous to this continent - within seconds of each other ALL humans arrived over during earth-time, horses Indians acquired came from Europeans/Spain - there were on foot, woman and children were perpetual laborers, they and dogs pulled the smaller plains-Indian teepees, teepees only, became larger after horses were acquired.... anyone born here is Native American. Another fact, vastly more Indians died at the hands of other Indians - conflicts, over land/territory were commonplace, for thousands of years. Average life expectancy 30, 40 if lucky. Most of us have white in us, we can 'go back' anytime, to Africa - cradle of mankind.
My lineage also exist of one French as well Cherokee! Anderson's
One mistake at 4:46. "The peach was brought to the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 16th century," Don't know about plums. Fruit was only one of the many things brought to the Americas that made life better.
Russell Smith read the different foods introduced into Spain by the Blackamoors.
ALSO THE LORD, DONT YOU EVER FORGET ABOUT OUR GREATGOD DAM IT!!!!!!!!
Always had love and respect for the Native American way of life, recently found out through DNA testing that i have zero native blood, even though being told both sides of the family had either cherokee or creek, rather disappointing, but still doesn't destroy my interest in the way of life of those who were here first

“Where as the “African American “ slaves didn’t have the survival skills to live off the land” lmao cmon. Fr? 🤦🏽 cool story bro.
My whole face frowned up at that part lol like gtfoh
Just should have said they were not familiar with the territory, enough to make a run for it. Of course, they had survival skills!
In early times, African slaves were in a strange land, different topography, food sources, and different skills were needed than how they were taught to survive in their African homeland. Same struggle for early European settlers of Jamestown or Plymouth, that probably would not have survived without help. Many died from starvation and disease because they too were in a new environment.
What did the woman tell her daughter? When you blow don't spit?
👈 I'm from South Carolina
I was kept from knowing about my Cherokee Indian heritage until I was 51 years old. I received information about my ancestry from a relative who I have never met who thought I should know. I have relatives both on the Dawes and Baker Rolls. I can trace my lineage back 400 years to Cheifs Moytoy, Cheif Atacullaculla, Cheif Dragging Canoe and famous people like Nancy Ward and Belle Starr etc. Alot of people dont know that Belle married a Cherokee Indian named Sam Starr, one of my relatives.

HOW THE HELL YOU KNOW AND WHY NOT LET THE TRIBE TELL THEIR OWN STORY, AFTER SO MANY OF THEM HAVE DIE FROM DISEASES, RAPE,, AND MURDERED. SO THE SOUL AND BLOOD OF OUR PEOPLE CRY IN THE SOIL NEVER FORGOTEN
Lol you have no sense of history at all you only get bull shit. If you listen to this video wisely they killed each other the Cherokee were a mostly peaceful tribe, but many were not. The reason why they got small pox is from horses because they NEVER road horses before the Europeans. The American Indians and the American settlers learn a lot from each other. So stop your bull shit
Cherokee have 3 moles on cheek puma have mole on eye brawl puma Pawnee have a mole below the knee apache have a mole on the arm and Pima have mole on left side of the spine rest i brought from another land DAS horse trader to keep there tradition
Not everything that the archeologist say I believe is said and done on what are all the facts. It is said because the Cherokee language is Iroquoian the Cherokee migrated down from the Great Lakes Region. But what I was told is the Cherokee came here from the South. Anthropologist have mentioned that much of the effigies they stole from the graves are very similar to the that of the Aztec and South American tribes. I think it's sad about so many South Carolina people's that are pretty much gone like The Old Cheraw.
I'm trying to find the clan my grandfather belonged to. Aleph. Wood.
Trying to figure out why I look this way. I have a Roman nose, flat forehead, and.....well, you see me. Grammy always said we were Cherokee and Blackfoot. I, however, think we are Creek.
Jenni Flyy Well listen to. this. My mom's mom Grandmother was Shawnee Cherokee Indian from Kentucky. My dad's, side was Polish from my Grandmother. His dad was French and Irish. I look just like a Pollock!!!!!
You can't determine what tribe your ancestors were from based on your physical appearance. LOL Creeks, Cherokee, Blackfoot, they're all of the same "race". That's like a white person saying their mom said they're German but they think they're Swedish because of their sloped nose.

You know, I find it really odd, that when you get down to it, that these three federally recognized Cherokee tribes have such a problem with the state recognized Cherokee tribes, yet they go to pow wows together, because I've seen it.
It seems like there is alot of racism with the federally recognized tribes. Just because you don't have a government issued card. It does not change your lineage.

Colombus wrote that the Natives looked like Ethiopians!
He also thought he was in India, hence "Indians". Which is why I prefer First Nations.
He also only saw natives from tropical areas, who would be much darker than from mountains.
And for those snarky comments about blue eyes, there were nothern plains tribes that were well known to have blue/grey eyes and various hair colors, including red, well before major contact with white men. Mandan in particular.
Truth the english said they came to fight the french and was fighting Ethiopia! No lie all facts.
Columbus was never in Appalachia.
Christopher Columbus the Italian explorer and navigator from the Italian explorer and navigator from the Republic of Genoa who completed four Spanish-based voyages across the Atlantic Ocean sponsored by the Catholic Monarchs, opening the way for the widespread European exploration and European colonization of the Americas.
Why are you descendants of invaders calling yourself indigenous people of America, when you are really immigrants on land that were stolen by your ancestors👆👆 The explorer Christopher Columbus made four trips across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain: in 1492, 1493, 1498 and 1502. He was determined to find a direct water route west from Europe to Asia, but he never did. Instead, he stumbled upon the Americas which was called Turtle Island.
Christopher Columbus called the people nice and friendly with Swarty skin color, Black
Black; swart. Black-skinned, swarthy; having dark skin, none of you are black dark in skin color, black comes in different shades of dark brown, from light brown to very dark brown we are copper tone people that also paint our skin red and other colors as tribe people do. stop your lies we know who we are, and what you did to our ancestors.
