I know one time back in the 1980's my Mom was working as a desk clerk at a motel there on the reservation, and the liliy white white haired lady came in the office, and proudly tells my mom that her grandmother was a Cherokee indian Princess, and my Mom without blinking looks at the woman and said well mine was a indian w---e ( slang for prostitute )   I think I was just as stunned as the white lady.....after the lady left the office, my Mom said she was just tired of hearing about everybody's grandmother being a Indian princess...lol --- On Sun, 8/17/08, Tim Timothy <[email protected]> wrote: From: Tim Timothy <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Indian Princess To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, August 17, 2008, 1:07 PM :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sam Gipson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 12:30 PM Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] Indian Princess > That is a very good one.

>From the last bunch of records I put online, I discovered something that gave me pause for thought. I found King, Prince, Princess, Queen, all surnames. Now my grandmother was an Indian Princess, do you think it is possible some people are saying her last name was Princess?? Don't missunderstand I know the stories, and know some believe grandma was a princess, but what I am saying maybe she was a Queen or Princess, they just didn't get the jist of the story the first time it was told. Something new for you to look at http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/pension/ This is from a Senate document Alleged Frauds Aganst Certain Indian Soldiers. There is much more to come. Feel free to pass the link on.
