Jo Ann, I am a true and proven descendant of the Native people of the Rio Grande and we do find it offensive when someone claims to be a descendant of a Fake Chief. His ancestor was no Chief of the Cherokee Nation. There was no Robert Arms or Chief RunningBear or StandingBear in any Cherokee Nation per the tribes themselves. There are many people who are out there that pretend to be Indian. Why?????????????????? I am glad you find him amusing but the true native people do not!

Jodi, my grandmother was said to be a full-blooded Cherokee, so if that ever gets proven then I guess that would make me a a descendent of the Native people, too. But I still say, let the guy alone. If he thinks there was a Robert Arms, or a Chief RunningBear, more power to him. I did not say I found him amusing, I said I was amused by his (and your) messages, and all this fuss about who is and who is not a member of the Cherokee Nation. I thought we were doing genealogy on this site, not fighting the Indian Wars all over again. Actually, I was trying to make peace between the two of you, by throwing in a bit of humor.

Jo Ann, It's not that. He can play a wanna-be all he wants. He makes himself look foolish. The woman he posted to and insulted is a descendant of the native people of VA. She has worked realy hard on Sizemore research. She has put dignity back in the Sizemore name from all the Cherokee claims. They were not Cherokee but of a VA tribe and he had no right to speak to her or anyone else that way on this or any board. Yes this is about genealogy but he didn't post genealogy only rude comments and attacked someone for no reason. Comments like his don't belong in the forum.

Jo Ann, I've been reading the posts, and I have to say you were doing a good job of trying to defuse the tension. I, too, am supposed to be descended from the Cherokee, according to family stories, and I have no proof of that being a fact. Thank you for trying to "keep the peace".
