Celticcherokeer, 65

Blood is who we are, and that can never change! The simple joys in life are the best. Life to me is to short to fuss over spilled milk....so clean it up and let move on. I am creative and I enjoy living life the best way I know how....enjoying it with family and friends!

I am of Celtic, Cherokee, Creek, & English heritage. I was not brought up knowing my Native American hertiage even though deep down as a small child I knew I had a lot of NA in me. When I was small and I would say something about being an Indian (meaning a NA) my parents or my dads mother would say "No you're not!" and I would say, "Yes I am! You wait, One day you will see!" Two years ago family members from North Carolina in my fathers family and also family from my mothers family in Georgia all at different times sent us information that we have Cherokee on my fathers side and Cherokee & Creek on my mothers.....I looked at my mother and I smiled. She asked me why was I smiling, and I reminded her of what I had said as a small child. She had forgotten, and said you were right.
