Cherokee don't do blood quantum. You just have to have an ancestor on the Dawes Rolls. (Many on the rolls were African slaves owned by the Cherokee who were just treated as members of the tribe after emancipation.)

Yeah, East Coast injuns are the worst. I bet most in that pic DO have Cherokee blood (unlike Warren), but ranging from 5-30%, prolly avg 15-20%. Plains & SW Indians much higher % Native THIS is how real Amerindians look (Cora tribe from West Mexico):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vgYK5PzGGU …

IMO, it raises an interesting question: Can Cherokee "culture" survive via pure cultural transmission in the absence of any major blood descent?

Of course not

PuLEEZ, maybe the girl in the middle is 1/4 Cherokee! BTW, I know a lot of white people who are 1/8 Indian. Quite common in the lower Midwest. None of them make a big thing of it...

The blood is transferred via the female side, in Cherokee Tribal Law. Many blonde blue eyed Cherokees exist as the early Europeans intermarried with the Civilized Cherokee's. For the people that are uninformed people, American Indians were not citizens of the US untill 1921.
