I didn't think much about it until I came across a book >> that had determined that Cherokee of an 1/8 degree of blood did end up >> with better allotments. The exception to this was the hold out full bloods >> who were enrolled towards the end of the enrollment time. I'm sorry I >> don't remember the name of the book.

The area covered is mostly Rogers Co. Oklahoma. Dan Ooyalugi ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(_______)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
