    Fabulous! It connected me to my homeland- brought tears to my eyes. I thank Chief Bill Baker for caring enough about displaced Cherokee in California to visit us and for the beautiful picture ID cards and for so much more.This is the first time I have watched Osiyo TV any Wow! So much work is being done in healthcare, museums, genealogy,jobs for Cherokee and so much more! it makes me so proud to be Cherokee. Thank you for making this TV program! The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma is an active and healthy tribe of believers with heart. I will be watching all the programs from now on and plan to help my Cherokee Nation from California. I want to contribute to the Cherokee Orphanage.

    I believe the statement for goodbye is Do na da go hv i. Until we see each other again. I was told at a very young age to never tell any one we were of Cherokee blood and to never speak the language. Sorry Dad. My father never went to church. He said his church was inside of him. I never heard him say a curse word. He would always tell me, "It's the way".

    My father's mother's father was 1/2 Cherokee (and 1/2 Irish and/or Scottish) from Oklahoma. That makes me 1/16, and my Ancestry DNA results show that I'm 7% Native American. The rest of me is mostly Native European, including a bit of Finnish. It's important that we honor ALL of our ancestors. If it weren't for their love and sacrifices, we wouldn't be here.

    Being cherokee and being a citizen of the cherokee nation are sometimes 2 different things. What you must understand to be considered cherokee by the nation your direct parental lineage had to be listed on the dawes rolls, which was taken a good 70+ yrs after the removal. or on the 1924 baker rolls for the eastern band. alot of descendants are on the outside looking in. Especially in the south east. With that being said Native americans especially cherokee were the most well recorded liniage of anyone, you can find your lineage. The problem with all this imo is the cherokee nation could be so much more if they would open up to those scattered descendants that can prove their lineage to the old settlers rolls. the nation would be larger and more powerful than ever.

      @wnterbird2976 Před 6 lety +7

      scoutmaster71 thank you for this. I found out my great grandmother was Cherokee. But I always feel like I don’t really belong because my grandfather was the only person who knew anything about her. He sided before I could learn about my ancestors. I may never find out my true lineage, now. It saddens me to feel like I’m not a “real” Cherokee but I really want to learn about my heritage and the culture that really is a part of me. And I want to be accepted in that way. So your comment made me feel really great for once to be recognized. So, thank you.

      +Manoah Cross You're family is from NC? That means you're the Eastern Band of Cherokee. Unfortunately we get the look-down-the nose treatment from our mid-West relatives. Our ancestors are the ones who refused to be shipped out across the country so we ended up as slaves, for 'Whites' *and* the mid-Western Cherokee (dirty laundry they don't want to deal with). Appeal that decision as high as you can go, including the court system if you have to, because this petty bias has to stop.

    In my time of learning Native history and living amongst different nations (Ondongwa, Ute,Plains Cree,..etc). I've came to the conclusion, the Cherokee Nation have been severely misrepresented and unappreciated by white americans and numerous native tribes of the america's. People call them cowards, traitors, and "sell outs" but the bottom line is this...they still have their traditional ways and lands. How many first nations can say such after surfering and surviving over 500 years of goverment genocide ? Not just o terms of the past and the future but the present. I admire the Cherokee nation and people. In my honest opinion, they have given "time" and brought balance for the First nations of the America's.

      RepublicAgent "The first Anglo-Cherokee contact may have been in 1656, when English settlers in Virginia Colony recorded that six to seven hundred "Mahocks, Nahyssans and Rechahecrians" had encamped at Bloody Run, now on the eastern edge of Richmond, Virginia."
      How in the fuck is that 500 years? The "government genocide" came much later.

    I'm happy to hear you have such a strong Cherokee background. I've been struggling to find my great great grandmother by the name of Menerva. I only have a married last name of Morris. She was born sometime between 1840 and 1860. She gave birth to Richard Morris on Feb 13,1875 in Bullitt county Kentucky. All searches I have found lead to no last name. I so want to connect to my ancestors. Any suggestions?

She was from Tn and at one point married to a Mr. Morgan. Unfortunately finding documents is hard since most native marriages are not documented. Good luck in your search.

    @lukelee2920 Před 3 lety

    "Osiyo" is a short form of Osipsiyo of Korean language.
    Amaging grace lyrics in mordern form is entirely different from original form of Cherokee National Anthem that sounds rather like the ancient Jargon used by the old Koreans. For instance, "Yumei Nak Rang, Yi Yu Rae Ji, Ni Ga WooYung Dae Ee---"
    meaning "Do not forget Heavenly palace left behind by ancestors. This is reason why you are to know your heritage!"

    My paternal grandma was a quarter Cherokee, her grandfather was full blood Cherokee. Grandma did not talk about it. She definitely had the features of a native american. My dad and aunt also have the features as well as did my late uncle. The had the dark hair and would get very dark when being out in the sun, as well as some of the temperament. having the history that I have, I natually have believed that I am a 16th Cherokee. Unfortunately, I decided to get my DNA checked by Ancestry.com. Imagine my surprise when the results came back and it showed no Native Indian DNA. I saw a youtube video by Ancestry.com that tries to explain this. f

    Don't hold me to this but as far as I can recall I was once told that more people claim some kind of affiliation with the Cherokee nation (tribe) than any other indigenous people in the US. For my part I have no affiliation or connection to any Indigenous people. But I admire them more than just about any other group because they fight to retain their identity and tribal sovereignty. To my knowledge the US government has lied about every promise they ever made except for one. They said they would take the lands of the different tribes they made treaties with and did just that.

  • @TheCrewChief374

    My great great uncle Howell on my mother's side of the family was the lawyer, who was put in charge of making sure everyone who was Indian got put onto the roles for each tribe. Which in turn is how, I was able to be listed on the roles for the Cherokee's!
    If not for that, I would have not been listed on the roles through my great grandfather Payne! He for the most part gave up on claiming his Cherokee roots!
    Oh, and to older people, and media folks, the reason that Howell name sounds familiar is the fact my great uncle was the late Joe Howell, of the late Tulsa Tribute! As well as chief of staff for Kerr when he was a U.S. Senator for Oklahoma!

      My Denton's line came over from England in 1634. Reverend Richard Denton was my 9 th/great gramb father. They intermarried with natives from ma,to ny,to their time in Shenandoah v as lkey near Harrisburg, va in 1734 until they received land Grant's to settle in upper east forv th hrir service during the revolution in ry war. They have been living in east tn since the 1780's. My dad's mother's family the Yates,huskins,chase,little John's,plotts,shaws,stevens,duncans migrated from the western nc hills around Cherokee,Booneand north wilkesboro In the 1700's. They crossed the smokey mountains eventually settling in carter,Johnson,Unicoi and Washington counties inbeast Tennessee by the late 1780 to 1790's.

    We already know there is WAY TOO MUCH HATE in the world. I CHOOSE NOT to SPREAD it! Native is NOT the ONLY oppressed situation. I am what you haters would call a MUTT. Or NO-ONE. I MAINLY, simply should NOT exist by YOUR terms. I have spent a LIFETIME NEVER being "GOOD ENOUGH" for anything/anyone. I am not "Irish enough, Italian enough, Cherokee enough, Black Foot enough, English enough or even Cuban enough. No matter WHERE I go. I am NEVER enough. UNTIL.......... until someone actually HAS to hear my story....? Isn't that funny? Not really. To get ANY respect they NEED to HEAR how much I have SUFFERED? I find it VERY DISGUSTING & SAD. It's as IF people "TODAY" STILL feel the NEED to have a sense that YOU personally have SUFFERED ENOUGH, to make THEMSELVES feel better? It's sad & discerning. I SHOULD FEEL LIKE I AM ENOUGH. Yet, no matter WHAT I DO, nor how LONG I live, I will ALWAYS have a little seed deep down inside my heart that whispers to me...... NO MATTER WHAT YOU do or HOW GOOD YOU ARE, You will NEVER truly be,...... GOOD ENOUGH.

      No, I am saying That I DON'T have ENOUGH blood IN the EYES of ALL of the OTHER nationalities I CARRY. Just because my skin is OLIVE & PALE MIXED. Whenever I am WITH a GROUP of people no matter WHAT nationality I carry. I am dismissed. I am dismissed because I may be Irish but NOT ENOUGH irish for them. I am may be Italian but NEVER enough Italian for them. Etc...etc.... Some people are soooo busy spreading anger & hate they DON'T realize WHAT they have. You may have anger towards things & people from LOOOONG before we were even BORN! However it will always be a PART of who we are. It does NOT mean we need to CONTINUE hating all of one or all of another because of what we DON'T have. I have been reminded EVERY DAY of my life! How I am NOT ENOUGH blood of ANY one kind. I am NOT enough of anything. Yet thru ALL of the abuse & trust me my life growing up was WAYYY WORSE than ANY horror or getto movie you can imagine. When you MIX the physical abuse with the emotional. However. After ALLL of this. I was NEVER judgemental or predjudice towards anyone. Nor am I now. I have made a CHOICE to never give to others the horrendous pain I was given in my life.
      It may have taken me many years to feel GOOD about MYSELF. But ALL ALONG I STILL have NEVER returned the hurt. When someone says something BAD about / to you. It says NOTHING about YOU. But, it says a WHOLE heck of ALOT about them.

      I also DON'T SEE color. I SEE..... words, Feelings, manners, smiles & love. IDC WHAT color ANYONE is on my t.v. or any where else. I have NEVER been able to find myself interested in ANYONE weather it be a FRIEND or Romantic, If when they open their mouths NOTHING but GARBAGE falls out. YUCK!! By the way I am not yelling when I type. It's just the way I type. :)

I SEE MANY different colors & faces that are NOT seen on the T.V. However I don't watch a lot of t.v. I just don't like it that much any more.

      Their are not many full blooded Indians left I think keeping the language and history alive is important .These were her ancestors who are you to knock her for honoring them and keeping their memory and culture alive ?It is pointless to be so hateful..it benefits no one especially not you !

      Madam Vonkook Hi there I like the candor in your statement. Great words.
      Click on that hateful posters channel. No videos, no playlists, no description , joined april 2014.
      These are typical channels who post hateful and devisive comments. They are known as paid shills. or Trolls.
      What you said needs to be spoken loudly and often. People are too quick to judge and attack people without first considering the source. It's a bad disease in this country. Many of the Native people did assimilate into the larger society. Burying their heritage, hiding the fact that they are indian. Think what came of all the bording school survivors. They were gifted with a self hatred in their own heritage, this has been passed down to the families of today.
