Wado for the talk. I really needed this. I attended Holiday this year and felt so welcomed and at home that I didnt want to return "home". I set to work on finding out about my father's family. I researched and dug and found our story. We are an undocumented family (as far as Dawes Roll is concerned). I had kind of given up on connecting with my heritage after being told "No" a few times and being so far away from any Cherokee population centers. This has really lifted my spirits.
Brother thank you sooo sooo much.. Your words are such a good strong medicine that our spirits need to be revived anew! Wado.. I am blessed, grateful, and enriched by your nourishing words 🙏🏼🥰🪶🕊🌻
Wado for "holding the talking stick" ;) You know, I think it'd really be nice if we embraced our cultural revival with creating a "holiday" in which the entirety of the Cherokee Nation comes together as one in celebration. I also think we should "open our borders" and welcome the Cherokee who are undocumented. We cannot lose one drop of water after all. Internal divisions will prevent us from reaching our full potential. Again, Wado ale duyukta. Agageshdi.
This is a great talk!!! I especially loved what Bo says about learning and especially about teaching the language around the 38 minute marker! Osda!! It's past time to get past the colors and numbers and teach the real language!
Osiyo plz tell me How to get into the tribe. I know a very little language. But have Always been told I am Cherokee!! Of the Eastern tribe. Our lineneage was supposedly burnt up in the courthouse in Virginia
@@uwohiyuhi-achoogi456 Reguardless of knowing which clan of the Cherokee I could associate with is not so much the question it is more so how much of the Cherokee blood I have.
@@shadowwolf9329 if you do your research and find your family on the Dawes or Ian miller rolls you could start from the ancestors on the rolls and cut half all the way to you because unless both are Cherokee it's reduced in half . Nowa days if your Cherokee by blood at all and can prove it your Cherokee we don't have a blood quantum so that's kinda out dated but the clan system is a big deal if you have one you have a place in the ceramonial grounds and can find more history through it everybody in one clan is biologically related so im in oklahoma but out east if they are from my clan we are related down the line we have seven clans , all cherokees can trace tjere family to these clans but if there is a dad in the line its lost
But I don't like to use that because only horses dogs and Indians have blood quantums that's kinda racist I go off of family ties , it's a two way street you have to accept the tribe and the tribe has to accept you if it don't your not Cherokee , oh and you generally have to be where cherokees are from . Everybody wants to be cherokee

The trail of tears at times made me laugh,cry,and be so mad that I couldn't see straight.
You are fabulous- you are a special place
We should always remember that we are a culture who live in the knowledge of the old ways.

My question is how and where can find a Cherokee heritage DNA test My great grandmother was full blood Cherokee??
Dna doesn't tell you what tribe just shows your native you have to research the rolls

Or if you prove it and get your cdib card it will tell you your blood quantum
