I have a "stupid" question I am sure. But here it goes...my aunt gave me a picture of my grandfather's father-in-law who was supposed to be Cherokee. Looking at it, has a very full beard..did the American Indian have hair on the face? Also my uncle (same family line) said that his grandfather had American Indian in him, yet he had fair skin, light hair and blue eyes. When I asked my uncle how he could look so white and not Indian, he only asked me, "what is an Indian supposed to look like? Do we all look like our nationalities are supposed to look?" He has a point here, yet most of us are a mixture of more than one nationality, and ggrandfathers father-in-law was supposed to be full Cherokee(with a beard) and in ggrandfather's case (blond hair, blue eyes) at least half. See I told you it was a silly question, but I am curious to what you all have to say about this. It's the face hair that is more confusing to me than what an Indian is supposed to look like in the case of John T. ....I was always under the understanding that the American Indian had a smooth face and very little if any facial hair....
