My husband was told by his Grannie that she was part Cree Indian. Great story passed down. My kids were thrilled. I did genealogy on both sides back to 1500's. Nothing. Did DNA test-- English, Irish, Danish. Disappointed. Moral: don't always believe your Grannie.

Everyone in Oklahoma is "part" Cherokee, well not really, but a huge number of us Okies have a drop or two of Cherokee in us. Not enough to declare minority status tho!

THAT'S BECAUSE "POCOHONTAS" NEVER HAD A NATIVE AMERICAN BACKGROUND, SHE ONLY USED IT AS A CRUTCH TO GET A "LUCRATIVE COLLEGE POSITION" !!

Yep, she has no doubt fallen victim to the 'lore' that surrounds a lot of our genealogy - rather than 'prove' the case. We're all a pretty much Heinz 57 : )

Her “spit” will set her free!

Let's not forget, this is no mere childhood belief. She stole something precious from a real native American. The family Bible used to answer a childs's questions about these things

Because there isn't any

She knows what the truth would bring
