Let it not be said that our Red brothers & sisters don't have a sense of humor. A Cherokee friend of mine told me about dancing at a powwow all day in the hot sun, "being looked at", and hearing about white people's "grandmothers being Indian Princesses". About the end of the day he was hot, tired & just wanted to go home & have a beer. As he was packing up his regalia, he noticed an older woman hanging around, building up her courage to spead to him. My friend thought, "oh oh, hear it comes!". The lady finally spoke to say " you know my grandmother......". My friend interupted her saying, " I know, you're going to tell me your grandmother was a Cherokee Princess aren't you?" She looked very satisfactually at her husband and said, " See, they can tell!" P.H.

At several pow wows I have attended, they have had t-shirts for sale that read "My grandfather was a Cherokee Indian Princess."
