I was born in Cuba , and Basque from Spaniard descent , and thankfully came legally to United States of America when I was five ... Lived most of my life in California till recently . I married my husband many years ago who has ancestry of Scottish and native American from the Kentucky Appalachia area , we don't know much else from our genealogical past , except a name of his great-great-grandmother Mahayla Fugit . We have a daughter . It's so funny to think how many people's of all over the world mix and blend in together , most times not even knowing where we came from , the circumstances , nor the people that came before us .
I love how many different tribes & nationalities from other countries are all mixed together to give us the American race. We were the first country to basically be the race of the entire world. It’s so common in many big cities now that I think many people forget how amazing American is. I hope we can stop all the racist divisions & appreciate that we’ve got pieces of DNA from the strongest survivors from every corner of the world.
Wow! Kentucky Appalachia area Fugit/Fugate family. Yeah, I hope you've looked that up by now. :) Very interesting reading about the Fugates and also the Basque history too! Cool! Daughter has some rare genes!
I'm a 7th generation Floridian. I descend from Hugh Crawford of the Crawford Clan of Scotland. My ancestor was on the same voyage as George Washington. The Washington/Crawford papers are on file in the National Archives. My family went to Washington DC during the Roosevelt. administration. My ancestor was the Uncle of William Wallace who later became Braveheart therefore FREEDOM is in my DNA.
Should've kept your freedom in your own countries instead of my ancestors/ se tonatiw tohhuantin ma timanawikan tonatzin totlaltikpak zampa noteixmatkawan
My family came over on the mayflower.hopkins family.later onmrhopkinsmarriedmrs Sinclair after her husband passed away.so pretty much related to all on board.even thetribeman that joined the voyage with me Hopkins and fam.i believe he was married to Sacajawea.but I'm not sure about her and that fact. I am related to Captain Cook Of Cook island.. Napoleon and a bunch of other famous people and my family bloodline has 28 kings in it
I come from clan MacArthur on one side but have difficulty finding out more in Scottish records. My Native heritage goes back further and is much easier to find since my ancestors also served in both wars and there are at least military records left behind.
Wow! With your blood lines! You are indestructibility embodied! God bless you intensely, immensely! Respectfully Yours Gregg Oreo Long Beach CA Etats Unis
I am proud to be a registered Cherokee, although I didn't know I was eligible to be until a relative traced my uncles, my mother's brother's ancestry. After my mother and uncle became registered, it was easy for me. It took about a year for the paperwork to go through. I sort of feel like a successfully assimilated Indian who lost all trace of my background, as if I was not meant to rediscover it again. It makes me sad to think this but its clear that the push to dissolve the value of individual ethnicity is all the more present today. Knowing more about myself has changed me in important ways. That I can trace indian ancestors back over 400 years is amazing... thanks to the ability to access old records through modern-day online technology!
My mom long ago told me she was black Irish. She was very light skin with blue eyes. Most of her relatives light hair or red hair. Her hair was straight and very dark maybe not black but almost. What does it mean to be black Irish? I thought it had to do with her hair. Am I correct?
My 8th generation Cherokee grandmother Eugioote Corntassell married sir Ludovic Grant of Grants castle Scotland, he assimilated into the Cherokee. This union was very important as she was the daughter of supreme Chief Amadoya Moytoy.
Continued: I have documentation back to 1640. And, yes relatives on trail of tears. My family kept their identity secret when they left Oklahoma. Fortunately we found all the documents after death of the great grandparents.
Very interesting. There is a long history of Highland Scots and Native American relations in my wife's hometown of Laurinburg NC (Scotland county). In fact, there is a mixed race tribe in the next county (Robeson) called Lumbee who are descendants of Native Americans, Highland Scots, and African Americans. They have a Highland Games every year and it is common to see Natives in Kilts.
Lumbee are a fake tribe that has adapted and changed over 100 years multiple times to try to survive back when being black would get you killed. They are mixed with black and white and have been saying they are native to not be killed from way back for being black basically. The way you know they are not a real tribe is you ask all the surrounding tribes who have histories in the area around them, they are not connected to or related to any tribe and the tribes around them say the same as far as I know.
Scottish, Welch, German, French, British, & Cherokee ancestor on Dad's side came over in 1620. Mom's during the Revolutionary War all up and down the Appalachian Mountains. Both last names Scottish in origin.
We also intermarried with Vikings, particularly the Mvskoke Nation, and also Lenape. (However, the U.S. government didn’t call us the Five Civilized Tribes; we collectively called our own selves that, to verbally announce that we were civilized sovereign nations on par with the U.S. government. That’s part of the required history course for the Masters in Indigenous People’s Law at University of Oklahoma.)
@@JahJahJah444what’s gross, the consensual intermarriage with Vikings, or the gRaping, pillaging Catholics, Christians & Mormons? Or the forethought of the Viking-ndns to legally protect themselves by using civilized as part of thier identity. As much as I hate a “Cherokee princess” this is awesome, and smart as hell.
From what I know, my grandfather and grandmother didn’t enroll their children into Dawes rolls and now our family is identified as “black” many so called black or African American should be on those roles but are not, they even re labeled cherokees as “colored” at one point. My grandfather went from “mullato” to black”
My husband has Scott and Paul families that married into each other in Southern Alabama, mid 1800's. Took me by surprise to see those names grouped together on your tree as well. This story was so great! I cheered outloud when he married the tutor woman that was so kind to his children! Yay! Such a good happy ending for this family. What a treasure to have their story written down in such detail!
It's a fact. Also Lowlanders later on. The Chickasaw and the Highlanders originally developed relations with each other due to both acting in service of the British empire against the French during the Seven Years' War. They were as the guerilla units, as the average Englishman wasn't accustomed to the wilderness, whereas Scots and Chickasaw were.
My Grandfather was a Scottish Armstrong! I also have choctaw native American dna. Often wondered where it came from as I'm English by birth. This is very interesting! 💙
Somebody went to America and came back obviously, lol. There are many more Nations that intermixed and were destroyed like the Mingo, Erie,Wedat, and others so there are many many more. Peace.
@Truthspeakers1589 My mother was a little Armstrong! But my father was a little Headstrong! Sorry, i kind of stole that one from Groucho Marx and rearranged it…couldnʻt resist!
I am from Canada .And from the Cree tribe My Grandfather is from England Frank Sollars Benton Other side Scotish Campbell French side Alex Willier How are we connected Rottein of Denmark I must be part Cherokee Mixed Blood With Blueblood
@@janice506~ Not in the entirety of Scotland, but in certain areas and Clans is perhaps a more correct way to say that. If what you state is truth then who wrote the song: "The Campbells' " are Coming" an old Victory song of Hope b/c of the same Clan? All "History" is written by the victors, told to the "peons" as they think of us all, (even the lower b.line named families) as lessor than themselves... To keep us in fear, divided, and in truth, promulgating lies of hatred among the true people; all Mankind Created in God's Image and Likeness. Wheat and tares from scripture, not false manmade religions. Refuse the secular and religious programming. Bruce Fummy @ Scotland History Tours channel has some interesting vids about Scottish historical truth. He is still fairly mainline, but his work on GlenCoe was brave, informative and insightful. The MacDonalds and all the other Clans did wrong. Murder, betrayals, and treachery to other Clans prior to and afterwards at one time or the other...it just kept going on, and here you are doing the same thing w/ your words) It is not fully accurate nor is it funny. If one takes the time to dig for fuller truths and not keep wicked half truths alive by repeating them you might be happily surprised. We are not to make anyone person or any group a scapegoat. We now must cut off the head of that snake. Live it and teach our children no matter our wounds. All true Highlanders long, long ago were independent, strong, courageous, just and noble. I obviously do not mean anything to do w/ so called fake"royality noble(s)". Anyone repeating what you have here is most likely not really seeking, desiring, or knowing truth. Go along to get along. Ignorance is not bliss nor an excuse to be mean spirited. You insult and are thus attempting to curse anyone with the Clan Name Campbell. You only make yourself look bad and doing so goes against God. Prior to intermarrying, threats, and nefarious deals made in the dark with trust broken we were all once a People of one heart and mind. Please consider not repeating these types of things for your own sake and whatever Clan you are from and/or married into. You would not say such a thing against Africans, Mexicans, or Natives of any land as you would be called racist, but defaming a Clan is alright? What b/c you are Scottish or bear her flag? Critical thinking is a must. This is really sad after all this time to hear someone continuing this cursed thing. A half truth is a half lie as well, and The Truth is somewhere hidden in the middle. Our job is to find it and not repeat mistakes. "History becomes Legend, and Legend becomes Myth, and things that should not have been forgotten easily were" ~ JRR Tolkien ~ I know he was English and in the club, but he still told and revealed many hidden truths b/c he had access to the hidden manuscripts and books. I hope you take my exhortation for what it is and think twice before saying things like this again, b/c it has and will continue to harm others who are innocent, and is from the dark ones. Or not, and blow me off and stay worldly and ignorant...your choice... but always chose wisely w/ humility in your heart and mind. A gift from God for us all no matter where we were born or what name we call ourselves or Family or Clan Lineage we are born into. Time to grow up, stand up, and stand tall. ~winds~
Thank you. I’m a member of the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma. My mother always said her mother was Scottish but that she had grown up on a reservation and married a Shawnee man. However, that isn’t what a mitochondrial DNA test I took showed. It showed my mother’s line was all Native. (?) Thanks for sharing your research.
Moonstone her mother very well could have been Scottish the test could simply mean that she did not inherit the Scottish DNA haplogroups. This happens all of the time. When you get a test don't just look at your test or those of your immediate ancestors. You have to look up your whole family tree. If you have a bunch of cousins with Scottish DNA markers YOU HAVE THE ANCESTRY YOU SIMPLY DID NOT INHERIT THE DNA MARKERS FROM THAT ANCESTRY. One of the ways this happens is because of Mendelson's rule of inheritance. Dominant Recessive DOES NOT USUALLY EQUAL DOMINANT + RECESSIVE IT EQUALS DOMINANT ONLY! The native haplogroups would be dominant the Scottish ones would be recessive therefor that could be a reason why your mother did not inherit Scottish DNA. Take a second look on your mother's line if you find a bunch of cousins with Scottish ancestry do a thru line chart and you will find those ancestors you are looking for. Best of luck!
I hail from ancestors from Scotland who came to America in early 1900’s. Photos..great, paternally, but maternally Scotland to Hudson Bay Scot’s who married indigenous women. Hurrah!
Very interesting! My great grandmother always told my grandmother she was part Cherokee but my family research has found all Scottish names. She did live with the Cherokees in Indian Territory as a teacher for a time. It's wonderful all the history you were able to find about your ancestors.
Was your grandmother a possible member of the Confederate band of Cherokee? They refused registration in the various Government rolls distrusting the Union. There is a relatively newly formed recognized band called the Keetoowah. This band could be characterized by the leadership and history of Stand Watie, the last Confederate General to surrender to the Union (of which there is a statue in Tahlequah Oklahoma).
When I was 5 yrs old I spent the summer with my greatgrandfather named Papa John Lockear who was a Lumbi native in North Carolina. When Papa Jone spoke you would swear that he was a Scott.The Lumbis,also called Tuscarora was the tribe that lived on the mainland from the Lost Colony. Papa John was a sweet kind very old man who loved his cigars that he rolled himself and his homemade whiskey. I watched him die in an accident playing his fiddle drunk and rocked off backwards if a tall porch.
@@scholbe In reality when I ran to see if he was all right( although I knew he was dead) I won't say I wasn't sad,but when I thought about how happy he was in the moment just before he died ,then I felt real comfort. It was not a bad way to go - rocking and playing your fiddle!
Thank you! This was very interesting and helped to connect & confirm my Scottish ancestry with some of my Cherokee ancestry, both of which I feel very connected with on different levels. Much appreciated
Alvin Matthias Scott is a cousin of mine- through the Marches, Logsdons, McQueens, McClains, Morgans, Herberts, etc. Also a cousin to Warren Williams. 👍
I found out that primarily the ancestors with deeper skin tones were of Native ancestry in my family, yet with a mixture of European. Not that all Native people have deeper skin tones but some do. Not many in the family were of deeper tones, some were extremely fair/light or variations in complexion. Many people assume they have African or all African descent because some descendants may be brown or brownish in color or can tan easier, but that may not be the family's history. Not that it's not possible or bad to have African ancestry, I believe that's wonderful too. I believe at many times European and Native people may have lived closely in some areas and began having families, which makes sense. Since they were living day to day amongst each other, they began building together. This is why concepts of exclusion and racism are so archaic to me in the year '24. My paternal family has Shawnee lineage, as far as Native people but are a mixture of other peoples as well. My more recent maternal family resided in Appalachia and I believe were either Cherokee/Choctaw and are a mixture of European as well. Also, there's Spaniard origins due to my maternal grandfather. I believe many if they'll do the proper research can find their recent origins. They'll be enlightened in many ways. Thanks for sharing your discovery. You may not be exactly who you assumed to be. If going into research, go with an open mind because you can't always make conclusions off of physical features like light or dark hair or eyes, light or deep complexion, wavy or straight hair and so on. At the end of the day, we are all derived from the earthly family.
I have similar history but my maternal grandmother was born White Earth MN Ojibwe Band (or Chippewa). Her great grandfather was English and Scottish who married an Ojibwe woman. He was an early settler in Minnesota straight from England. They had timberland not sure how much but by the time my grandmother was 18, she got scammed out of 40 acres. My mother and remaining heirs were compensated for that same land in 1990’s. Let me add that I’m a Christian (born again Nov. 10, 1980). I have studied church history extensively through the years, and Charles Parnham started a dangerous false movement which still influences the “charismatic movement’s” false teachings to this day. Research is plenty out there.
My uncle researched are Scottish history as back in the years 700s We are of Royal Scottish ancestry. The bean family was so brutal that all the male beans were beheaded and the women and children were put on wooden ships and sold to the Americas as slaves. Scottish ancestors have been in North America prior to the year 1000 due to the proof my uncle found. Unfortunately he did have his own filing system of a whole basement full of boxes that make no sense to anyone else and my cousins have tried to go through them and save what they could but unfortunately other than them remembering my uncle finding out the information in the papers from years and years ago that no longer can be found we can't find proof of that story anymore. I think the Scottish were here way before the colony minded take her conqueror people came and we were accepted as human beings among the natives here for centuries and eons before the colony of filthy grubbing takers showed up. I also had a grandfather that married my grandmother prior to my birth that was one of the stolen Shawnee children Harry Wilcoxen. He worked for the b&o railroad and for the Washington gas company and though he petitioned his tribe to teach me I wasn't of his blood and this was prior to the freedom of religion act and he was told no. I did not learn until about 25 years ago that he was a full-blooded native American person. My mother was a very English person and thought when my grandfather was outside dancing his prayers at 3:00 in the morning that he just loved ending in and made up his own fake language. Later when I made it into a Lakota Sundance ceremonial community I realized my grandfather was actually outside dancing his prayers. I wish I'd known in his lifetime that he was true indigenous I think who I am would be a very different person had I had that knowledge and those associations.
@@Kristy_not_Kristine in what I stayed above they obviously must have been in Scotland then because the Royal being monster men were all beheaded and the women and children were put on wooden vessels and sold to the Americas as slaves. The indigenous don't talk about the days they were traveling the world to get work forces to come to the clear-cutting work they started here in the 700s. I really think because they began clearing the forests and cutting live trees that they lost the protection and blessing of keeping the colony away from here. I think had they not started clear-cutting forests to make Meadows to make it easier to hunt that the colonies never would have made it here because this land was protected until the people started disrespecting
I love that you did this- My last name is Maytubby- I am- Pawnee, Chickasaw and Choctaw- my last name is Chickasaw and Choctaw- my dad was born with red hair. He is a Hereditary Chief we come from Lone Chief. But our Name Maytubby is actually SCOTTISH!!!!!
Thank you for the fascinating presentation. I've got Choctaw and Scottish ancestry (among many other backgrounds)--I'm a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
My family on my Granny’s side are Cherokee by blood. But the last names are Irish or Scottish. I started searching and found out that Jacobite prisoners of war were sent here. Also I want to say that All blacks are not Africans or Slaves. King James was a black Scot, his son was a mix race person who enslaved Africans. Also there are white colonizer mix Natives and Dark mix natives. Segregation keep dark mix natives genes from being washed
the name Scotland comes from a king who married an Egyptian princess named Scota. One of the tribes in the Missouri area was the Seewee who fell under the Cherokee umbrella. At some point, a good number went north to Wisconsin area. Some went to Florida, with a few staying in Missouri. Some of the surnames are Bean,Rice,Gobban/Gobin/Goben etc. ( this surname is Sct-Irish famous for the majickal Saor Gobban.,More,Hooker/,Hawker,Jones, Root. And I am stuck living in Canada. Very hard figuring things out in this super remote area. I have some link to the tribe noted for their unusual top row of teeth and distinct base of the skull shape. Loving this video...tyty❤ Oh, and about half were born with white blonde hair and green eyes. Hair tends to go a charcoal grey-black about age 30.
I’ve only recently learned my bloodline after being insured to look into the Scottish ancestry I was told about as a child but nothing else. Their name back 4 generation were named Ross. The patriarch immigrated in the 1600 with two son. They grew up and were early inhabitants of Kentucky with close associations with Shawnee. There were two brothers. DNA shows that one married a Shawnee woman. The other brother that is a direct ancestor is believed to have also had a Shawnee wife. There is no name for his wife but there were children. Going back further I found that my ancestors were all the names of the Highlanders as portrayed in the Outlander story, Frazie, Gordon, Cunningham, Forbes going back to the early Scottish Kings which then went all the way back to a legendary wise woman named Gambara. She was Scandinavian. The land had become overpopulated. Lots were drawn with one third assigned to conquer a land that had been scouted out in the South. She had the women hold their hair up to their face in imitation of bearded men. Odin asked “ who are there long beards?” thereby being tricked into becoming The Godfather. This forced him to grant the tribe victory over the inhabitants dwelling there in the region that became known as Lombardy, Italy. The periods was 225 AD.
I live in Northeast Alabama, but my great grandmother on my father's was full blooded Cherokee, of Cherokee NC. my great, great grandfather was German and married my full blooded Cherokee great, great grandmother. My German grandfather actually killed a Cherokee male who was raping my great great grandmother. He has a famous right up at the Cherokee botanical gardens. I'm Scottish, Irish, German, Norwegian, Cherokee, and Choctaw. On my moms side my Native great, great grandmother was a Moon of Oklahoma. She did migrate through the trail of tears. My blood genealogy test shows Mostly German/Scottish, Norwegian, and "Northern Territories" no specific name confusing?? Pacific Asian, I think thats Native American? The test my brother took didn't ID Native DNA. Alabama's state flag is Ireland's flag, and an old Scottish battle flag. It has been blue w. a white X and now White with red X. Scottish Highlanders settled over nearly all of Alabama after the Scottish, British war. My last name is Lowe/Löwe /Danish Lőwe...
❤❤❤ we must be cousins ah.. lol jk but yea we come from the same natives eh. My grandfather was also Scottish n Micmac (Mi'kmaq) & my grandmother was French n Mi'kmaq.. (Unamaki, Mi'kma'ki) Cape Breton
My tribe the “ Lumbee “ also have Scottish Mixed . I last name is “ Graham “ very scottish . I had grandfathers that were Scottish Native mixed , married native women .
Thank you for sharing your research. I am originally from Tahlequah and have traced my Scots ancestors (McCollum, Marrs, Marshall, Stuart) back to Eastern Tennessee, Northern Georgia and Virginia. Some of these lines moved west at the time of removal. There are people in these lines that I can't find records for and I believe some of them were Cherokee and Choctaw people. Your research will help everyone to understand the complexity of their ancestry and how that impacts contemporary ethnicity. I think we will all benefit from a more nuanced reading of this important period of history.
My Highland ancestor, Duncan McDougall, whose family immigrated from Easter Drumcharry, Scotland married into the Ojibwe tribe and became a noted fur trapper. His Ojibwe daughter, Mary Ann McDougall aka Ke nosh equay, was my 2nd great-grandmother. The fur traders and also the Catholic missionaries in the area kept very good records.
Fascinating! And it's a very important last generation to have first hand testimony of great grandparents born in the wake of the Civil war. It will become very distant once boomers and young gen x passes. Because it marks the end of the old world, wherre the horse and buggy era ends, it is a worthy data gathering mission.
My wife is a Choctaw, and her 8th generation removed grandfather was, Chief Mingo Apuckshunubee who died on my wife’s birthday in 1824 in Kentucky! My wife was was born oct 13 1957. Interesting tidbit. My 7 Gen. removed grandfather Moses Jones was taken captive and raise by the Chickasaw tribe in the Tennessee/ Kentucky territory (before statehood) and married and or said to have married a chicidaw Indian girl by the time he was 16 or 17? His name Moses Jones and he was Scots Irish. Another tidbit. I married my wife, the grand daughter 8 gen removed of Mingo Apuckshunubee at 17 years old! And my family was from Kentucky where Mingo Tobago Apuckshunubee fell to his death while traveling to DC for a treaty meeting and signing. History is really incredible! And a small world. lol
My Grandmother was a Boone and another grandmother a Freeman in the Appalachian Mountains Avery and Mitchell County NC it has been hard to trace my grandmother Freeman.
My family story was that my greatgrandmothers sisters were on the trail of tears. Like my dad have visited cousins in Oklahoma. I have no NA in my genetics though. We were from the Shawnee area of Appalachia in South Eastern, Ky.
That was great to hear from NATIVE and that's how I went to school through Broadens School to this day I kind of would say Thanks but know Thanks you and washing brushes our mouth out for talking our language was uncalled for us but my language stays within me when I came home my language just comes out 99.9 percent born within songs and prayers alive and well Thanks to my parents and I know you are looking forward for me in your great world I shall see you you great parents love you 😍 ❤
We were always told by my maternal grandmother that we were Cherokee and Irish. Ancestry DNA revealed we were Scottish but did not show any native American Cherakee DNA. we were saddened by this DNA revelation. So I was told that the DNA followed the mother genes is that true?
I am Scotish , Irish, and our Native American bloodline are on the Dawes rolls according to my relatives in Oklahoma, under the name Reynolds. There is not enough blood in our line to claim Cherokee.
My ancestry goes back too Mary Ann Little Flower Baskett/Basset Also in George Guess. And Dr. Akins and chief David Christopher Reed and AuNaWaKee Foster and Na dee Wofford , family ne’er Utopia and Uvaldi Tx. Of O’Brien and Hawks . Grandmother Eda Hawks had enrolled number but can’t find it . Also related to Bob Barker , traced him back too Johnson’s and Holly and Nelly family in Herkamyer New York and the Throop family also deacon Obryan who went on Cherokee land with Nathaniel Wofford, from Wofford Crossing in Georgia….. lots more.
I also decend from Mcghea who gave land for Poarch Creek Tribe so they always had a home , in our Hawks Cemetary in Hollis Arkansas there is a family of Magees / Mcgees etc. buried under Sumac bush in sun burst around base of bush heads toward middle , if you didn’t know it was there you would not see it , the native name of this family was Sumach,a lot of headstone’s were large Crystle .
That Scott which fellinlove with the native sold hide to the chief tribe, got his daughter pregnant but upon leaving the reservation he took her to Missouri. My mother told me this about my fathers roots.
My ancestry is Scott (surname) as well. Came from England in 1830s i believe. Elizabeth Scott, married Henry Matthews in SE Kansas, Weir, Pittsburg,Ft Scott area.
Great stuff I never knew. The Indian school thing was a surprise. The Lakota Sioux I know had hugely worse experiences. But Catholic church forced them to go from ages 5 to 18. And parents could not retrieve them😢
Native and Irish. My ancestors have been in the upper peninsula of Northern Michigan since the Anishinaabek migrated from Newfoundland. My family still lives on the same land my ancestors hunted on before Father Marquette landed at Sault Ste Marie and tried to convert my people to Christianity. The Irish and French have intermarried since the 1600's. I am Ojibwe, French and Irish.
Thank you so much for this video. My family on my mom's side, is full of Scottish and Cherokee bloodlines such as Chislom, Holmes, Dougherty, Mitchell and Ross. Much of the genealogies I have been able to piece together but I was missing some of the Parks information and I am happy it see that you have provided that here.
Thank you for this presentation. I have alot of ancestors from Scotland, Ireland, having originally settled in Appalachia. Family rumor is for a Cherokee ancestor, but this is a common thing. This gives me a little more education and resource to appreciate a new depth in my genealogy studies.
It's difficult to trace lineage in native American family trees especially in the nation's. The marriages often weren't recognized and we must be honest, native Americans practiced polygamy. A white mixed Cherokee man would have one Cherokee wife full-blooded and two maroon Cherokee or creek freedman women. In those days a woman needed a man to survive so it was accepted that a man tribal member would father children by other native women. For a long time native American marriages weren't recognized by law. They were not even accepted as citizens until 1924.
Who is not honest? Polygamy was a part of some Native American cultures just the same as MANY MANY other cultures around the world throughout the ages. Not aill Native Americans practiced polygamy and not all Cherokee men had the list of wives you mentioned. You can't generalize and make blanket statements because they are not all true.
Well John married the Native Indian from that came the Chief and he had couple wife's next he married his cousin then came my great grandmother my father's grandmother Fairmont West Virginia
This relationship started in North Africa, from the very conception of the tribe, white slaves taken out of Europe joined the original group, the tribe has always been part white
This is fascinating.. Scottish /native Indian history. Ever since I was wee girl I had a lot of luv for all diff tribes ,.. the Scot’s feel a certain way about our own highland clearances . I’m glad you enjoyed your time in Scotland , don’t be a stranger ❤. Some say we’re a bit tribal but perhaps that’s the connection. 🏴
I was hoping there'd be some information on that. I'm in Scotland and trying to find info on my great great grandparents. I can't find any info at this side.
I’m 53. My great grandmother’s maiden name was also Jones, from OK. She was part native. Our family doesn’t have much info. There’s some images when she was older. Thanks for this info! The native tribes had African slaves which were brought with them during their relocation. This is an important aspect to our heritage.
Not sure if I have native blood but just recently learned my ancestors on one line came from Scotland in the mid 1600's. Landed in North Carolina, the went to the mountains in Upper Tennessee.
I wonder if this is what happened with my great grandparents, I know my great grandfather was full blooded, we were told Cherokee possibly Cochiti Pueblo and my great grandmother was a red headed Scottish woman. From my understanding my family comes from New Mexico but we were told my family was on the trails of tears. But for whatever reason I cannot find my great grandfather on the Dawes Rolls. I do find a Francisco Quintana but not sure if he is my great grandfathers dad. That is his name though. I’m not sure how to make that connection. I’m also native on my mother’s side but that is from Colombia. I wish someone could help me dig deeper into my father’s side. I’ve asked family about it and everyone is hush hush about it. I cannot get a clear answer from anyone. I didn’t grow up in New Mexico because my father moved from New Mexico to California.
