Just like Elizabeth Warren, most of these hypocrites are blonder and more blue-eyed than Eva Brown. This is pathetic.
Anyway, she died at 33, much like Belushi and Farley.Replies: @The Alarmist

Those are some good looking squaws.
Jones, McSpadden, Fields. Sounds like full blooded Cherokee to me. Several of the girls have high cheekbones, I don’t see the need for further inquiry.
Among Cherokee men tested so far, the Indo-European haplogroup R1b is the most common result. This means most of these men are the descendants of European men and Indian women. I haven’t read any reports on the female haplogroups, but they’re probably still majority Indian.
This is how it seems to work with these Indo-Europeans. Britain, for instance, is majority Indo-European in the male lines, while the female lines are predominately of Neolithic farmer and hunter gatherer origins.
(Casey was killed during the Ghost Dance troubles. Col. Swain was in the same West Point class --'52 -- as George Crook. Another branch of my family has a man who served under Crook in California and tried to serve under him during the Civil War, but never got farther east than Nebraska.)
Some of the surnames in my hairlifter background are Beartusk, Redcherries, Twobulls, Yellownose, Tangledyellowhair, Strangeowl, Whitewolf, Crazymule, Twomoons and Risingsun, but there are also a number of European names as well. Those may be the names of white men who married Indian women, but I suppose they could just as easily be names given to them by whites or that they decided to call themselves.

Here’s a good song about Cherokees. Anybody remember this song?
There was always a vein of sympathy for Cherokees et al in pre-1960's literature, but it didn't become a society-wide concern until post 1960.
It’s “Youth Night” at the Des Moines Rotary Club!
Seriously, judging from the picture, looks like they haven’t been making them like they used to in a long time.
As I said in reply to an earlier post, a jury of random Americans, if they saw these youths walking down the street, would probably ID at least nine or ten of them as white.
Looking again at the photo, I’d revise that upward to eleven or twelve.
But tribal councils in Oklahoma, youth or otherwise, aren’t as riotous as BLM or as militantly Open Borders as alot of Latino orgs. Let sleeping dogs lie I guess.
The pictures on the jobs jobs page are mostly of white people too. No U.S. government agency would post a jobs ad with that many white people in it.

Most of those young Cherokee squaws are fine-looking, but there seems to be a shortage of young bucks in that council, maybe they need a diversity advisor.
It's tough on the reservation with nothing to do -- most indians are entitled to a lifetime-subsidy and god knows how many extre benes. Why work at the casino when your government check is miraculously put in your account?

The only “Indian” sounding last name is “Whitekiller.” Interesting.
UKB surnames also include some English, Scot and Irish names that go back a long way, such as Christie and Downing.

Does anyone actually believe a bunch of WASPs can be Cherokee? I mean, a lot of otherwise normal people believe Somalians can be swedish, so why not WASPs being Cherokee??
I get the feeling however that most good-thinking whites will still instinctually scoff at this image for its patent absurdity — yet how likely is it that they would re-examine the “somali->swede” equivalent in this light? My guess is that that thought would never cross their minds. Social proof is a powerful force. The majority of people believe that whites have no identity of their own (or at least that’s how it appears to be). And so a Somalian becoming Swedish doesn’t appear to constitute any meaningful difference to them — hence it gets a pass.
Liz Warren falsely claims to be Cherokee and she's a real leftard moonbat, but it doesn't automatically follow that there are no actual Cherokee who look like pure white people.Replies: @cthulhu

Not surprised by the incidence of blonde hair- there’s been at least one generation of the top tribal leaders marrying the hottest dealers in the casinos by now, right?

I'm not surprised, as academe has descended into the Dante's eighth circle of hell, where the fraudsters and panderers hang. Identity politics created this and them, fraudsters all.
Let me guess -- as undergraduates, they were ... communications majors? Or, perhaps they majored in one of the grievance degrees based on gender, sex, skin color, social background, ethnic behavior, etc? Or, perhaps, sociology? Education? I wonder how few of them were, say, chemistry majors.
Politicized majors are great preparation for medical school ... or not.
Would you allow one of these diversity-hires to plunge their gloved hands into your belly to snag your swollen appendix? Doubt it.
There are usually clues to African blood at the 1/4 level but at 1/8 many can "pass" as white. However, people who are 3/4 white when the other quarter is some other race (Indian, aborigine) also can appear fully white. It takes no time at all to get down to the 1/4 level - just a couple of generations. And 1/8 is just 1 more generation away. Aboriginals and American Indians have been in contact with whites for dozens of generations now so it's almost miraculous that they are not ALL below 1/4 at this point.
This is funny and sad at the same time.
Cherokee Youth, Hitler Youth whatever. We all need to take pride in our ancestry.
don’t forget your peace pipe!
They’ve been mixing with whites for about eight or more generations. I’ve seen big blue eyed blond haired guys wearing, ‘FBI’ (full blooded Indian) shirts for years.
Time for one of my favorite anecdotes. In college I knew a sorority girl who was tall and blonde with thick curly hair and… a fully enrolled member of one of the local NW Indian tribes. We though that was pretty funny. She was also rather violently interested in one of my roommates but that’s another story.
There’s three in the front and three in the back I’d be able to pick out having some Indian in them. If they’re raised on the res you’d be able to pick out more from their speech and paralanguage.
I live in an area with few or no Indians so I’m not familiar with Indian speech ways. Could you tell us a little more?
I am surprised that none of them, as far as I can see, has a Cherokee name, even if only for use in tribal matters. Aren’y they tempted by any of those great Indian names?
I wonder how many of them speak Cherokee which would seem to me a requirement, no?
Google tells me that only about four percent of recognized Cherokee are fluent in the language. Red Indian languages are extremely difficult, so there is that.
I have to say they appear to be quite a cheerful bunch.
Note that there are far more women freebie seekers than man, and that the men are the ones who, for the most part, look like actual Native Americans.
But the fact that white women flock to this type of identity is partly due to the low quality of bottom 20% white men (the WN losers). They are the ones who drive white women into non-white identities.
Men are less influenced by social norms, though we are still social creatures. It's easier for men to challenge the overall society. Back in tribal days, if a warrior/hunter guy thought that the system was stupid, he could challenge the leaders or try to form his own group. Those were options - even if the odds were long. Those were never - never - options for the women.
If white men suddenly got their head out of our asses and said, "No more of this diversity BS" and fought back to the point that we created our own neighborhoods, schools, political organizations, white women would fall in line quickly because they would understand that the choice for them - and their children - was black/brown society or white society. They'd have a new set of social norms to follow, and they would.
The reality is that white women don't give a rat's fart about diversity. But they do care a lot about being on the good side of society's norms. If the Today Show tells them that diversity is good, it's good. If they're living in Georgia in 1830, race mixing is abhorrent and against God. They don't think deeply about these things. The women in this picture are simply doing what women have done since the beginning: Be very attuned to what keeps them safe in the tribe.Replies: @Thomm, @unpc downunder
No Indian names at all? I guess that probably means none of them speak the (very difficult) language then.
Google tells me that only four per cent of Cherokees speak the language. A shame.
They seem to be a cheerful bunch, which is good.
The fact that tone of white women are flocking to this non-white identity is only one point.
Equally salient is how somehow there is no black or blackish person here. I wonder why. Blacks are extremely keen on claiming some Native American ancestry. Even Henry Louis Gates has slammed other blacks for exaggerating this.

He looks like he was denizen of that “Indian reservation” located near Southampton, LI (NY) where all the natives were as black as the proverbial ace of spades.
The young bucks are missing from the image because they’re too busy abusing drugs and alcohol to sit for the photographer. The rate of alcoholism among “native Americans” is about six times (!) the rate of alcoholism in the US. Furthermore, more than a quarter of indian babies have fetal alcohol syndrome, a condition that may persist throughout life. Think about this: fully 25% of native Americans are brain damaged at birth becuase of the behavior of the parents.

This actually reminds of why – if push came to shove and whites started getting seriously discriminated against – wouldn’t whites simply claim to be Hispanic. There’s no genetic test for Hispanic, and, obviously, there are plenty of people from South America, Central America and Mexico who are 90+% European.
If my kids claimed to be Hispanic (and they actually have some family background that would make that sound plausible) who’s to challenge that? If someone asked, you’d only have to get indignant at the question and they’d back off.
If whites puss out and decide to go gentle into that good night, I’d definitely tell my kids to claim to be Hispanic. Why not? Why should they play along with the rules of a corrupt game? One minute, you’re an evil racist, the next, you’re showered with praise and easy access to all kinds of goodies.
Hell, Jews used to change their names to sound more WASP, why not change your name to sound Hispanic? (However, like Jews, you need to remember who you really are. That this is just a game.)
Basically, I find it hard to believe that as the pressure on whites grows that they won’t choose one of two paths: 1) Fight back and start thinking like other ethnic groups (my preference) or 2) Screw it, join one of the “accepted” victim groups, preferably the one most similar to your own.
Why would whites just sit and take the abuse when there’s a simple way to avoid all of it?
Look the only reason the various ethnics groups in the U.S. even tolerate each other is because of the massive welfare state we have. If that unravels, it will get real ugly real fast. The ethnics really won't care if your name is gonzales if you are lilly white, the same way they won't care Hymie Cohen says he's not white but a Jew. The to ethnics these are distinctions without a difference.
The thing is that white Americans are very white and most all of them have no actual non-European ancestry, so this only works as long as DNA testing is off the table. Which for the most part it currently is for various reasons. Even with these tribes in America and Canada, no one will test them because the reality is that virtually all of these people have 70-75% European ancestry minimum. Where I grew up a girl really liked to play on her native ancestry which couldn't be more than maybe 5% tops. She had blue eyes, a very northern European face and the only difference between her and everyone else was that she had jet black hair which is the only way you could tell she had any non-northwest European ancestry at all.Replies: @Citizen of a Silly Country, @The Last Real Calvinist
This is based on the exact same test, (PSAT) but which, I guess, just has a lower cutoff score. That just seems insulting to me, but I guess its something you can put on your resume/application.
Anyway, only about 50% of the kids recognized at the school are visibly hispanic and/or have hispanic names. The rest you're like "whaaah?"
If millions of whites started to claim hispanic heritage more institutions would start to require further proof of hispanic credentials...Will be interesting if the children of Ted Cruz qualify for affirmative action...The New York Times stated that Ted Cruz was one of the few Non-Whites in the Senate last year..strange that the children of Ted Cruz can claim to be hispanic, when 3 of their 4 grandparents were not Spanish...and 7 of their 8 great grandparents were born in Europe. If we have the one drop rule to determine ones Spanish ethnicity we may see 80% of high school graduates will qualify in 10 years time.Replies: @Citizen of a Silly Country, @VivaLaMigra

In my public elementary school a teacher once showed a set of portrait photos and asked the class to identify who among them were Native Americans. We dutifully tallied and on average probably said a third of them were. Then she drops the bomb and scolds: “They’re all Native Americans! You can’t tell who is or isn’t by appearance.” I remember an uneasy feeling that I was being lied to about something important, and wondering why our trusted teacher had deployed guilt and trickery, something she didn’t otherwise do. This was the first time I remember being aware of and bothered by this kind of manipulation through official channels.

Elizabeth Warren would fit right into this tribe…which is why these Tribes were not too upset when Warren claimed to be an Indian…Most members of the Cherokee tribe have little to no Indian Ancestry…They have yet to find a “full Blood” cherokee who is over 35% Native American…on average the typical Cherokee tribe members is 95% European.

Maybe not because he didn’t det a star and after 30 years a “ring knocker” probably makes full bird as a matter of course.

If no one forced a DNA test, I suppose no one would challenge it. When the term “Hispanic” is used, though, mostly what people think of is some kind of brown mestizo or at the very least off-white looking type like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.
The thing is that white Americans are very white and most all of them have no actual non-European ancestry, so this only works as long as DNA testing is off the table.

I also knew a girl whose parents were from Argentina. Light brown hair and green eyes. Looked like she was from Iowa.
Neither one of them spoke Spanish.
This is my point. At some point, there's no reason to be treated like a second-class citizen when it'd be incredibly easy to move to the front of the bus. I mean, if I was a black guy in Jim Crow times, and someone said, "Hey, you can be treated exactly like you were white if you just claim that some relative in your past was European or South American or Indian - no proof required." I say sign me up.
I don't know if the Dems fully understand that this option is available and how easily it could be adopted by whites.
Whitekiller is an actual Cherokee name. So are Mankiller, Pathkiller and Sixkiller. Once you know some of the traditional surnames, they are easy to spot, though a few Irish and Scot surnames are associated with CNO from long term use, such as Ross, Adair, Baker and some others.
UKB surnames also include some English, Scot and Irish names that go back a long way, such as Christie and Downing.

This is how it seems to work with these Indo-Europeans. Britain, for instance, is majority Indo-European in the male lines, while the female lines are predominately of Neolithic farmer and hunter gatherer origins.Replies: @syonredux, @Whoever, @Anonymous
Britain is mostly Bell-Beaker:
https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2017/05/17/bell-beakers-or-the-birth-of-britain/
If you, or anyone else, is interested in the current best understanding of the settling of the British Isles, go here: https://www.eupedia.com/genetics/britain_ireland_dna.shtml
Putting the story together after millenia based on piecemeal evidence is a daunting task, and people seem to want to settle it all, right now, in one quick swipe, while it will be an unfolding process. Understanding will change based on new evidence, which is discovered frequently.
A for instance would be the genetic study of Britain what was done circa 2004, and was based on mitochondrial DNA only. The author of the study claimed that the bulk of Britons were descended from the people who originally settled there, and that no subsequent invasions had left a significant genetic imprint since. This same study lead to a consensus that there was no great Celtic invasion of the islands, either. Nobody in the scientific community believes that now.
The first modern humans in the British Isles were Western Hunter Gatherers. The signature Y DNA haplogroup among these aboriginal Britons was the one I bear, I2a. They came from refugia (thought to be in the Balkans) during a glacial minimum. They lived in small bands, and left little evidence of their lives. They were almost wiped out by the Storegga tsunami (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storegga_Slide), which buried Doggerland. Evidence of Mesolithic villages have been found underwater in the French Channel that were likely inhabited up to the event.
The Middle Eastern Farmers came later, in larger numbers, and brought agriculture and livestock herding with them. They soaked up the WHG's into their culture and religious practices. These are the people who built Stonehenge and most of the Mesolithic stone circles and monuments.
The Indo-European invasion was the legendary Celtic invasion itself, though there could have been earlier invasions, on a smaller scale, by the same or different tribes. Evidence does now point to a massive invasion of mostly men. The few women who did come with these men were most probably the wives or companions of high-ranking men, with the bulk of warriors being young single men.
Since that first study I wrote of, DNA testing and understanding has grown exponentially. It is still growing, and several new studies with ground-breaking results are published every year. Lineages can be traced, and subclades can be placed to some degree of accuracy (which will increase, and change things), so we have a clearer understanding now, and based on more than high-level mitochondrial DNA testing. What the author of the study published was true for the women. Roughly 80% of female genetic lines are from the WHG's and MEF's who had inhabited Britain from the Mesolithic. The males, however, were of inverse proportions of Indo-European origin. The replacement rate exceeded 90% in some areas.
It is easy to assume that the invaders massacred the males, but that may not have been the case. There is no evidence of a warrior culture among the earlier inhabitants, and they didn't likely put up much of a fight. They were more likely to have been enslaved, rather than killed. The women, of course, became the wives and concubines of the Indo-European men.
The subclade of R1b known as RL-21 is commonly called "Atlantic Celt," and men with this haplogroup account for nearly 90% of men in some parts of Ireland, slightly less in the Celtic areas of Scotland, Cornwall, Wales, and Cornwall. England is lower, but still around 70% to 80% Indo-European. You see, all the subsequent invasions of Britain were carried out by different tribes derived from Indo-European invaders. The Anglo-Saxons, Danish and Norwegian Vikings, and the Normans, were primarily men of Indo-European descent, but different subclades of R1b, R1a, and a handfull of other haplogroups. The female lines, in all cases, bears a striking similarity with the tale of Britain, showing evidence of mostly male invasions, with a much smaller genetic footprint left by Indo-European women.
From what I've read so far, the Eastern migrations (primarily R1a) from the steppes seem to have included more women than the Western invasions.
I get the feeling however that most good-thinking whites will still instinctually scoff at this image for its patent absurdity -- yet how likely is it that they would re-examine the "somali->swede" equivalent in this light? My guess is that that thought would never cross their minds. Social proof is a powerful force. The majority of people believe that whites have no identity of their own (or at least that's how it appears to be). And so a Somalian becoming Swedish doesn't appear to constitute any meaningful difference to them -- hence it gets a pass.Replies: @Twodees Partain

Speaking of Native Americans, my wife and I just finished Wind River. A pretty good movie. The wife was interested in the actual story, so she read an article about it. Found out that in the actual crime the people that brutally raped and killed the little native girl, were in fact other native Americans (one was her cousin).
She asked incredulously “Why would they do that?” Meaning; why change it from natives to white people. Me and the 17 year old (Trump lover with a MAGA hat and Trump campaign sign hanging in his bedroom) exchanged knowing glances.
She’s almost there (Clinton voter). The other straw was getting her to read articles from black women calling white women Becky’s and the one article from the BLM chick who demanded white people give their assets to black people when we die.

Or women are much more attuned to social pressures than men. If society tells women that whites are bad and Indians are good, women just go with the flow and join up with the “society-approved” group. Women just want to know the rules and follow them. That’s what kept them and their children safe for millions of years.
Men are less influenced by social norms, though we are still social creatures. It’s easier for men to challenge the overall society. Back in tribal days, if a warrior/hunter guy thought that the system was stupid, he could challenge the leaders or try to form his own group. Those were options – even if the odds were long. Those were never – never – options for the women.
If white men suddenly got their head out of our asses and said, “No more of this diversity BS” and fought back to the point that we created our own neighborhoods, schools, political organizations, white women would fall in line quickly because they would understand that the choice for them – and their children – was black/brown society or white society. They’d have a new set of social norms to follow, and they would.
The reality is that white women don’t give a rat’s fart about diversity. But they do care a lot about being on the good side of society’s norms. If the Today Show tells them that diversity is good, it’s good. If they’re living in Georgia in 1830, race mixing is abhorrent and against God. They don’t think deeply about these things. The women in this picture are simply doing what women have done since the beginning: Be very attuned to what keeps them safe in the tribe.
Also, the females go with the flow argument is a bit overstated. Women have always been pretty well represented on the left, even when being a leftist was socially disadvantageous, and these days women are pretty well represented among nationalist politicians and politically incorrect bloggers on social platforms like You Tube. Women in general may be more socially conformist then men, but its often easier for less socially conforming females to carve out a successful niche. There's a cute female vlogger on You Tube called Shoe on Head who makes about 50K a year doing intermittent humorous videos on feminists.

For Cherokees, it’s “lineal descent.” Question: how does one person descend from another except lineally? I often hear the phrase “directly descended from.” How else do you descend from someone? I’ve been a genealogical hobbyist for thirty years, and still don’t know the answer. I have reason to believe my 57-times great grandfather was King of Munster during the 6th century. If I compute one-over-two to the 57th power, I find I don’t have a single princely nucleotide. Is there a single-nucleotide criterion to be a Cherokee? I guess not.
A lot of Indians took white surnames because of missionary efforts, not necessarily their bloodline. Changing your name to a white name meant you had left Indian culture and become a Christian. That’s where a lot of white surnames came in.
If you’ve ever driven down the streets of Tahlequah, you’ll see a lot of Cherokees who look like full-blooded Indians. Those are mostly the young men who like to drink to excess and hang out on street corners. They don’t run tribal councils because they’re too busy getting wasted. Besides, tribal councils don’t matter so much anymore. If you’re kicked out of the tribe for being too white, so what? You’ve still got simple, old fashioned welfare to fall back on.
I used to live in Oklahoma, and there are a megaton of mixed breed people around. Most of the Indians are no longer purebred. In 3 more generations, purebred Indians in Oklahoma are going to be about as plentiful as purebred Indians from the east coast tribes like the Penobscot.
The brunettes look like they have some Indian ancestry. The light haired folks in the picture may have some Indian bone or facial features that are less apparent because the light hair stands out.
If my kids claimed to be Hispanic (and they actually have some family background that would make that sound plausible) who's to challenge that? If someone asked, you'd only have to get indignant at the question and they'd back off.
If whites puss out and decide to go gentle into that good night, I'd definitely tell my kids to claim to be Hispanic. Why not? Why should they play along with the rules of a corrupt game? One minute, you're an evil racist, the next, you're showered with praise and easy access to all kinds of goodies.
Hell, Jews used to change their names to sound more WASP, why not change your name to sound Hispanic? (However, like Jews, you need to remember who you really are. That this is just a game.)
Basically, I find it hard to believe that as the pressure on whites grows that they won't choose one of two paths: 1) Fight back and start thinking like other ethnic groups (my preference) or 2) Screw it, join one of the "accepted" victim groups, preferably the one most similar to your own.

This is based on the exact same test, (PSAT) but which, I guess, just has a lower cutoff score. That just seems insulting to me, but I guess its something you can put on your resume/application.
Anyway, only about 50% of the kids recognized at the school are visibly hispanic and/or have hispanic names. The rest you’re like “whaaah?”

The thing is that white Americans are very white and most all of them have no actual non-European ancestry, so this only works as long as DNA testing is off the table. Which for the most part it currently is for various reasons. Even with these tribes in America and Canada, no one will test them because the reality is that virtually all of these people have 70-75% European ancestry minimum. Where I grew up a girl really liked to play on her native ancestry which couldn't be more than maybe 5% tops. She had blue eyes, a very northern European face and the only difference between her and everyone else was that she had jet black hair which is the only way you could tell she had any non-northwest European ancestry at all.Replies: @Citizen of a Silly Country, @The Last Real Calvinist
Yep. Knew a guy in college that got a scholarship because he was Hispanic. His father was an American white engineer. His mother was an accountant from Mexico who met the father at the corporate office in Mexico City. Her family was German and Irish.

Neither one of them spoke Spanish.
This is my point. At some point, there’s no reason to be treated like a second-class citizen when it’d be incredibly easy to move to the front of the bus.

I wonder how often that is true for Americans who have native ancestry. With the tribe I am affiliated with, to prove tribal affiliation you have to provide verified documentary evidence going back four generations (DNA tests are not accepted). In my case, this is easy because one of my redskin forebears was an army scout with the 22nd Infantry at Fort Keogh, and we have his military records, including disbursement, as well as recommendation and commendation letters to him signed by Col. Peter T. Swain and Lt. Edward W. Casey.
(Casey was killed during the Ghost Dance troubles. Col. Swain was in the same West Point class –’52 — as George Crook. Another branch of my family has a man who served under Crook in California and tried to serve under him during the Civil War, but never got farther east than Nebraska.)
Some of the surnames in my hairlifter background are Beartusk, Redcherries, Twobulls, Yellownose, Tangledyellowhair, Strangeowl, Whitewolf, Crazymule, Twomoons and Risingsun, but there are also a number of European names as well. Those may be the names of white men who married Indian women, but I suppose they could just as easily be names given to them by whites or that they decided to call themselves.
Here is a photo of a plains Indian war party plotting an attack on a wagon train:
There are legends about such things as Jewish Cherokees, who had some European features and culture which was witnessed by Europeans who arrived in the 1700's. It's now accepted that these were descendants of Indians among whom the earliest Europeans had lived, and evidently bred with in some cases.
Eastern bands of Indians have lived with whites a lot longer than Western bands, and many tribes have bred themselves out mixing with whites. The Catawba of South Carolina are a good example. There isn't a single one who is more than 1/2 native left alive.
The land where I live was once common hunting grounds for Catawba and Cherokee. The Cherokee stayed West of the Saluda river, and the Catawba stayed East of the Catawba river, and the lands between the rivers were used by both tribes. This was established after the two tribes fought a war, after the Iriquois invaded this part of the country.Replies: @Twodees Partain

There hasn’t been a full blooded east coast Indian for two hundred years. Very different story in the west.

Descriptions of some tribes more than others had them possessing European characteristics.
The only Indians I have seen at this end of the country who appeared to be full-blooded were members of a tribe that had a big reservation (Tuscarora?) in the area of Akron, western NY state (Buffalo region). Big, stout-looking people, with fairly dark red skin. Some of the men wore their hair in braids.Replies: @Buffalo Joe
There was a lot of mixing between whites and Indians as the frontier moved west over the hundreds of years, especially east of the Mississippi and south of the Great Plains.
There were multiple factors at play, but two of the most important were the trading networks economically connecting bands of Indians to American markets and, as has been noted above, Christianity.
Many Indian traders, both French and English, had numerous mixed race children. One often finds these mixed-race individuals moving to the forefront of Indian bands as traders themselves, leading warriors and as articulate spokesmen for their tribes.
The most common descriptor of Indians in contemporary accounts, aside from the use of the tribal names, was not whites and reds but rather Christian and heathen. Conversion to Christianity by Indians opened the door for many to leave the warrior ethos and semi-nomadic lifestyle of the tribes and become “civilized,” joining the larger American civilization with the rule of law, property rights, courts and so on. It is undoubtedly the case that the number of the mixed-race and other Indians who became “civilized” and left tribal life to join the larger American civilization was much larger than the small number who remained in the semi-nomadic bands of Indian tribes and ultimately wound up on reservations.
As Jewish academics came to dominant status in American universities, the historical narrative of the Indians changed to serve the Jewish group interest of attacking and undermining white gentiles. Instead of viewing the Indians as proud heathens, warriors, hunters and savages (which gave rise to so many university mascots), the Indians were depicted as victims of white Europeans, even as victims of claimed “genocide,” and the mixed reality of actual history was forced into a racial binary useful to attacking white gentile American civilization. The Indians were re-imagined from fierce warriors into peaceful naturalists. The interesting and strong differences among the various Indian nations and the history of conflict and other relations among them was submerged into this binary of Indians as a monolith of victimhood on the one side and white gentile exploiters on the other. The role of Christianity in this history was either completely ignored or considered as a tool of economic and cultural exploitation.
For anyone interested in learning about American Indians it is best to read the first person accounts of the Indians, of which there are many, and the early histories.

This is absurd.
If I was in a tribe, I would insist that all new members demonstrate proof beyond family tradition or loose genealogical history. DNA for all new members, or some other conclusive documentary proof like they use for Daughters of the American Revolution or something like that. I would think about and come up with a percentage that makes you eligible to join, tailored to preserve tribe assets while allowing it to maintain an identity going forward. Nothing needs to be publicized. Have a tribal review committee do the dirty work. Don’t challenge the existing members, because then DNA is off the table because too many of them know they will be revealed as frauds or plain ol whites. Pick a date and say that from now on, we need more proof, even if your parents are both in the tribe. Or maybe grandparents. Sorry.
At the rate we’re going, half the country will be eligible for affirmative action benefits.

All my life it’s been a standing joke that whenever somebody says they’re part Indian, the tribe they name nearly always seems to be Cherokee. Not Algonquin, not Nez Perce, not Sioux not Commanche nor anything else. Always Cherokee. And I wonder why? Is it that the Cherokee were just more promiscuous than the other tribes? Or is it rather that all these half-Injuns are really just typical white people who can’t actually name any tribe other than the Cherokee. What gives?

Great William Faulkner short story entitled ‘Red Leaves’ documented Indian owning slaves.
Truth be known, Warren’s story is entirely plausible. I have very close kin (by marriage) from that part of the country, who have the same ‘family lore’ of being Indian. There’s includes a picture of a great grandmother who is very dark skinned, with angular features-the great grand daughter of whom is blonde haired and blue eyed. If I were to speculate that the great grandmother is half Indian, that would make the blonde younger woman 1/16th Indian. There is a lot of intermixed Indian blood in the area around Oklahoma.
Warren’s sin was not to claim Indian heritage; it was to claim government and hiring benefits for Indian heritage without going through the legal requirements to do so, and Harvard’s great sin was to let her do so.
In other words, the problem here is one of ‘different rules for the rich and/or connected.’

As I’m sure with the Cherokee Youth Council, these are “talented tenth” aboriginals. IQ is strongly correlated with race so that the smartest “aboriginals” are also most likely to be the ones who are barely aboriginal. If you were to visit a random trailer on the reservation or a drug house, they would look a lot less white than this gang.
There are usually clues to African blood at the 1/4 level but at 1/8 many can “pass” as white. However, people who are 3/4 white when the other quarter is some other race (Indian, aborigine) also can appear fully white. It takes no time at all to get down to the 1/4 level – just a couple of generations. And 1/8 is just 1 more generation away. Aboriginals and American Indians have been in contact with whites for dozens of generations now so it’s almost miraculous that they are not ALL below 1/4 at this point.

That sounds sensible enough. What bothered me about this was the implication that appearance gave no information about group membership, and that we were bad people for thinking that it did.
The Bell Beaker Phenomenon distinguishes a culture, not a people per se. It was widespread in Europe among people of differing genetic origins.
If you, or anyone else, is interested in the current best understanding of the settling of the British Isles, go here: https://www.eupedia.com/genetics/britain_ireland_dna.shtml
Putting the story together after millenia based on piecemeal evidence is a daunting task, and people seem to want to settle it all, right now, in one quick swipe, while it will be an unfolding process. Understanding will change based on new evidence, which is discovered frequently.
A for instance would be the genetic study of Britain what was done circa 2004, and was based on mitochondrial DNA only. The author of the study claimed that the bulk of Britons were descended from the people who originally settled there, and that no subsequent invasions had left a significant genetic imprint since. This same study lead to a consensus that there was no great Celtic invasion of the islands, either. Nobody in the scientific community believes that now.
The first modern humans in the British Isles were Western Hunter Gatherers. The signature Y DNA haplogroup among these aboriginal Britons was the one I bear, I2a. They came from refugia (thought to be in the Balkans) during a glacial minimum. They lived in small bands, and left little evidence of their lives. They were almost wiped out by the Storegga tsunami (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storegga_Slide), which buried Doggerland. Evidence of Mesolithic villages have been found underwater in the French Channel that were likely inhabited up to the event.
The Middle Eastern Farmers came later, in larger numbers, and brought agriculture and livestock herding with them. They soaked up the WHG’s into their culture and religious practices. These are the people who built Stonehenge and most of the Mesolithic stone circles and monuments.
The Indo-European invasion was the legendary Celtic invasion itself, though there could have been earlier invasions, on a smaller scale, by the same or different tribes. Evidence does now point to a massive invasion of mostly men. The few women who did come with these men were most probably the wives or companions of high-ranking men, with the bulk of warriors being young single men.
Since that first study I wrote of, DNA testing and understanding has grown exponentially. It is still growing, and several new studies with ground-breaking results are published every year. Lineages can be traced, and subclades can be placed to some degree of accuracy (which will increase, and change things), so we have a clearer understanding now, and based on more than high-level mitochondrial DNA testing. What the author of the study published was true for the women. Roughly 80% of female genetic lines are from the WHG’s and MEF’s who had inhabited Britain from the Mesolithic. The males, however, were of inverse proportions of Indo-European origin. The replacement rate exceeded 90% in some areas.
It is easy to assume that the invaders massacred the males, but that may not have been the case. There is no evidence of a warrior culture among the earlier inhabitants, and they didn’t likely put up much of a fight. They were more likely to have been enslaved, rather than killed. The women, of course, became the wives and concubines of the Indo-European men.
The subclade of R1b known as RL-21 is commonly called “Atlantic Celt,” and men with this haplogroup account for nearly 90% of men in some parts of Ireland, slightly less in the Celtic areas of Scotland, Cornwall, Wales, and Cornwall. England is lower, but still around 70% to 80% Indo-European. You see, all the subsequent invasions of Britain were carried out by different tribes derived from Indo-European invaders. The Anglo-Saxons, Danish and Norwegian Vikings, and the Normans, were primarily men of Indo-European descent, but different subclades of R1b, R1a, and a handfull of other haplogroups. The female lines, in all cases, bears a striking similarity with the tale of Britain, showing evidence of mostly male invasions, with a much smaller genetic footprint left by Indo-European women.
From what I’ve read so far, the Eastern migrations (primarily R1a) from the steppes seem to have included more women than the Western invasions.
(Casey was killed during the Ghost Dance troubles. Col. Swain was in the same West Point class --'52 -- as George Crook. Another branch of my family has a man who served under Crook in California and tried to serve under him during the Civil War, but never got farther east than Nebraska.)
Some of the surnames in my hairlifter background are Beartusk, Redcherries, Twobulls, Yellownose, Tangledyellowhair, Strangeowl, Whitewolf, Crazymule, Twomoons and Risingsun, but there are also a number of European names as well. Those may be the names of white men who married Indian women, but I suppose they could just as easily be names given to them by whites or that they decided to call themselves.

Well, firstly, Plains Indians are not Cherokee, so we’re talking apples and oranges. R1b is not nearly so common among other major tribes as among Cherokee. And again I state, among those tested. Unless an entire population is tested, the only thing you have is results for your sample group. I don’t know how the tests were administered, nor even what were the goals of the tests.
There are legends about such things as Jewish Cherokees, who had some European features and culture which was witnessed by Europeans who arrived in the 1700’s. It’s now accepted that these were descendants of Indians among whom the earliest Europeans had lived, and evidently bred with in some cases.
Eastern bands of Indians have lived with whites a lot longer than Western bands, and many tribes have bred themselves out mixing with whites. The Catawba of South Carolina are a good example. There isn’t a single one who is more than 1/2 native left alive.
The land where I live was once common hunting grounds for Catawba and Cherokee. The Cherokee stayed West of the Saluda river, and the Catawba stayed East of the Catawba river, and the lands between the rivers were used by both tribes. This was established after the two tribes fought a war, after the Iriquois invaded this part of the country.
For that reason "bred themselves out mixing with whites" isn't really the case. The BIA blood quantum system also reduces blood quantum of people whose ancestry doesn't include European, African or Asian ancestors.
I know Catawba people who have insignificant numbers of European ancestors who are listed as 1/2 or less indian. Bear in mind that in much of South Carolina, there were no official birth certificates issued by government agencies before 1915. When the BIA established their figures on Catawba blood quantum they were able to make up what they liked in order to eventually phase the tribe out of existence (again) on the basis of blood quantum as they have been doing with western tribes since the days of USIS.
The war you mention included other tribes besides Cherokee and Catawba. Tuscarora were one of those tribes, before the Tuscarora moved to Haudenosaunee territory and became part of that confederacy. The town of Fort Mill is named for a fort built there by Thomas Spratt who traded with Catawba when they lived on both sides of the Catawba
River.
There was also controversy over the Nations Ford Road which was the main trade route used by all of the tribes involved. The road crosses the Catawba River and runs north/south through that part of the Carolinas. The Nations Ford was located on Catawba land and before a bridge was built there was important to indians and whites.
There's a lot more to the story than what is included in government records.

I am so, so confused.
What about a theoretical Cherokee tribal member who looked completely “Indian” but whose ancestry was mostly non-Cherokee: e.g. one “full-blooded” Cherokee grandparent, one Penobscot; one Tlingit; and one Zapotec/Spanish mix? Would such a person have a stronger claim to being a “real” Cherokee than someone whose pedigree included: two grandparents with half “Cherokee” half Scots-Irish ancestry; one grandparent of half “Cherokee” half indeterminate black/white mix; and also a grandparent from Sweden? What’s more important: the “Cherokee” identity or the “Indian?” And to whom?
Since federally recognized Indian “tribes” are legally semi-sovereign, the nations themselves have the right to at least partly self-define their own membership. And in historical fact, if most of these groups had known that by signing treaties with the US Government their old political identities would be completely extinguished, they never would have signed them. So if we’re talking about fishing rights, or mineral exploitation rights, or legal obligations that the US government once contracted with tribal nations; how important is it if the general appearance of a group today looks the same as it did 160 years ago?
Now if we’re talking about qualifying for racial quotas, then I agree that it’s highly questionable to include people like Elizabeth Warren or some of these modern-day Cherokee tribal members since race is mostly about appearance and quotas are primarily rationalized on the basis of fighting discrimination by white people against others who don’t look like them. So how are white people supposed to discriminate, if before every prejudiced decision they make, they have to consult with a genealogist?
I actually think that the notion of there being white or black-looking “Indians,” would be less controversial if more of these people acknowledged their mixed heritage, and (especially in the case of some Eastern tribes/nations) toned down the current simplistic historical narrative of ancestral guilt; victims and perpetrators. On the other hand, any such acknowledgement would probably be used by non-Native political opponents to strip indigenous groups of their special legal status, so it’s no wonder that many choose to downplay the pale-face origins of a good number of their own ancestors.
It's disingenuous to include Liz Warren with actual tribal members. Race isn't mostly about appearance. Also, there's the point that tribal enrollment is a matter of nationality as well as race. The subject of racial quotas is an artificial division created by federal legislation.
I agree with you about the way that people are stripped of property rights by this kind of maneuvering, BTW.
Well, you got me thinking. Perhaps the tribe DID get us feeling this way via movies. I can’t say how far back this goes, but all my life I’ve heard people make claims of having some Cherokee ancestry. I’m 58.

The thing is that white Americans are very white and most all of them have no actual non-European ancestry, so this only works as long as DNA testing is off the table. Which for the most part it currently is for various reasons. Even with these tribes in America and Canada, no one will test them because the reality is that virtually all of these people have 70-75% European ancestry minimum. Where I grew up a girl really liked to play on her native ancestry which couldn't be more than maybe 5% tops. She had blue eyes, a very northern European face and the only difference between her and everyone else was that she had jet black hair which is the only way you could tell she had any non-northwest European ancestry at all.Replies: @Citizen of a Silly Country, @The Last Real Calvinist
Remember, though, that there can’t be any DNA test for being ‘Hispanic’. It’s an ethnic category, not a racial one. Therefore anybody who’s part of a Hispanic ‘culture’ is de facto Hispanic.
My own ancestry is 100% Dutch. Parts of the Netherlands (okay, mostly current Belgium, but who can read maps these days?) were ruled by Spain for well over 100 years, spanning the 17th century. I’d say that’s some pretty heavy Hispanic cultural influence, so who’s to say I’m not Hispanic?

That is why they are so jealous of the Cherokee nation.

Wow, a lot of amerind references here.
I was quite surprised to discover this "feeling" of having Indian blood is, if anything, MORE common among blacks than whites in the South. Not a bit more true, however. In spite of the ads you may see on TV with people claiming "36% Native American DNA," it's actually pretty rare. Most American whites are entirely European, while most American blacks are around 12% European.Replies: @Anonymous
I wonder how eager all the GoodWhites would be to claim Amerind ancestry if we simply pointed out that the Amerinds are Asians. (Or, before anyone objects, entirely descended from Asian immigrants.)
Wait a minute…why aren’t they smarter?
There’s not much difference in how a Chinese or a Chinook handles firewater.
Once upon a time, when a men’s athletic team was called the Indians, its women’s counterpart was sometimes called the Squaws. I know of at least one college where this was true but then they changed the name to Bearcats or something generic. Jourdanton High School in Texas still calls its girls’ teams the Squaws.
Yes. Madison is one of our founding fathers, yet an Indian family chooses it as a first name for their daughter, who has a traditional Indian last name.
Sure, but what they really mean colloquially using that term is some sort of Asiatic ancestry which shows up in a DNA test as East Asian/Native American. It’s not really the “culture” that most people refer to. It’s just being brown and kind of looking like you’re from south of the US border.
Interesting link, thank you.
Melania Trump looks more cherokee than these women.
I can only suppose they got temporarily stranded on one of the small sandbanks going round to Gill Pier. Most of Westray's accessible coast apart from Pierowall and maybe Rapness is horribly dangerous to even wade in, due to the rip and the cold. You get orcas flopping their fins over yards from the beach on the far side of the golf course at Noltland as a bonus. The rest is terrifying cliffs.
Yes, genuine official links golf course, but I think the balls would have to be made of lead, to counter the wind hazard. And the rabbit holes out on the rough towards the sea are a nightmare.

Went both ways, despite the HBC fatwa on the ‘country wives’ ever getting back to Calvinistan. The Gaelic Scots were the absolute worst. Being of recently-exiled yet infinitely noble and ancient warrior kin, they would spurn their (defeated at Culloden/Aughrim) families and get over to Tir Nan Craoibh.
There they rubbed up inauspiciously with the northern leagues of the 1st Nations. People almost exactly comparable with their prior mode of life East-Over-Sea. People who knew the score. And the respect was reciprocated.
So, weirdly, the ex-tacksmen, kerns and gall-oglais did not lust after your milky Quaker farmgirl, nor yet your sly and foxy Francine. Could not even speak to them, apart from a rare Bretonne and her Basque cousine, if the first girl would be so good as to set it (the speech) over.
What they did recognise, and was acknowledged by their arse-blanketed, long-sworded junior clansmen, was Dominion Over Territory.
Therefore a great many solemn and binding marriages were contracted, between these heavily-armed, interminably-lineaged celtic gentlemen and local “princesses” (starts with fat, ginger, tough-as-fuck Cap’n Smiff, English to the max, but the best of our kind).
Above the 45th, it was wild. Who the hell would look at some miserable, protestant, Sassunaich Noo Ingland descendant of literal serfs, when a bright and bonny chief’s daughter was in play? They were, local and Easterner alike, bound by one eternal thought; “our mortal enemies wear red coats“.
The Hudson Bay wifes that did slip through the Company net did not thrive in Orkney, for all that their neighbour wifes (and now kin!) cajoled them with tea, and Jesus, and knitting circles, and the mickle sangs, and talk of picture postcards from Edinburgh.

Well to me she doesn’t look 100% non Native American ancestry. But then quite a lot of Americans look that way to me.

Blacks don't have to prove that they had a slave for an ancestor.
Also, why couldn't I just claim that my grandfather was an illegal who "came with the shirt on his back and now you want to discriminate against me people again."
I just saying that this spoils system that we have right now only lasts as long as whites feel enough guilt to not play the system. Maybe that will last forever. But it's just as likely that enough whites start to game the system that it starts to collapse. At that point, there would have to be genetic testing and that's when whites will not be able to ignore that apartheid world that they live in.Replies: @Travis

Yes, I know what you’re doing. It’s feeble.
There are legends about such things as Jewish Cherokees, who had some European features and culture which was witnessed by Europeans who arrived in the 1700's. It's now accepted that these were descendants of Indians among whom the earliest Europeans had lived, and evidently bred with in some cases.
Eastern bands of Indians have lived with whites a lot longer than Western bands, and many tribes have bred themselves out mixing with whites. The Catawba of South Carolina are a good example. There isn't a single one who is more than 1/2 native left alive.
The land where I live was once common hunting grounds for Catawba and Cherokee. The Cherokee stayed West of the Saluda river, and the Catawba stayed East of the Catawba river, and the lands between the rivers were used by both tribes. This was established after the two tribes fought a war, after the Iriquois invaded this part of the country.Replies: @Twodees Partain
That isn’t true of Catawba. There are still a significant number who are 3/4 and over. The way BIA figures blood quantum makes the degree of indian blood inaccurate because they will classify a Catawba (now a federally recognized tribe) whose lineage includes other tribes as being of low blood quantum because of non-Catawba ancestry from other tribes that are not federally recognized, such as Monacan, Saponi, Meherrin, or other tribes with which Catawba historically traded.
For that reason “bred themselves out mixing with whites” isn’t really the case. The BIA blood quantum system also reduces blood quantum of people whose ancestry doesn’t include European, African or Asian ancestors.
I know Catawba people who have insignificant numbers of European ancestors who are listed as 1/2 or less indian. Bear in mind that in much of South Carolina, there were no official birth certificates issued by government agencies before 1915. When the BIA established their figures on Catawba blood quantum they were able to make up what they liked in order to eventually phase the tribe out of existence (again) on the basis of blood quantum as they have been doing with western tribes since the days of USIS.
The war you mention included other tribes besides Cherokee and Catawba. Tuscarora were one of those tribes, before the Tuscarora moved to Haudenosaunee territory and became part of that confederacy. The town of Fort Mill is named for a fort built there by Thomas Spratt who traded with Catawba when they lived on both sides of the Catawba
River.
There was also controversy over the Nations Ford Road which was the main trade route used by all of the tribes involved. The road crosses the Catawba River and runs north/south through that part of the Carolinas. The Nations Ford was located on Catawba land and before a bridge was built there was important to indians and whites.
There’s a lot more to the story than what is included in government records.
“it’s highly questionable to include people like Elizabeth Warren or some of these modern-day Cherokee tribal members”
It’s disingenuous to include Liz Warren with actual tribal members. Race isn’t mostly about appearance. Also, there’s the point that tribal enrollment is a matter of nationality as well as race. The subject of racial quotas is an artificial division created by federal legislation.
I agree with you about the way that people are stripped of property rights by this kind of maneuvering, BTW.
