This site helps out alot. ============================================================ My mother when she talked of Cherokee it was always in the 3rd party. She would say "My mother was Cherokee," or "Your grandmother was Cherokee" I always thought that a little odd. If her mother was Cherokee, so would be her daughter........ Someone told me that many times when one is removed from the culture living as white they feel they do not belong anymore and remove themselves from "being Cherokee" My grandmother died before I was born and never was able to meet relatives that might speak more of our heritage than my Mother did. She only spoke of these things in a time of wistfulness or if I asked. It is a shame that so much of the heritage has been lost to so many. I am grateful there are still many though that remember and practice the heritage and are willing to share the knowledge. Question Sue your address name 4 Him does this mean For HIM ????? Barb sc
