Brenda is right...in times past it was not considered acceptable to have Indian blood. However! If the Indian blood in question was ROYALTY, this was more palatable...and that's how granny's mama became a Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Lakota, Iroquois, etc "princess"...through the years I've personally known 7 people (who are not related to each other) that have this same myth in their families...
