Native ancestry in the South has always been of interest to me, because there are so many people that are descendants of Native tribes, and to be honest, a lot of them don't even know it. This doesn't apply to you of course, because you know of your ancestry, but there are a LOT of accounts of families that had certain members who had "features" that resembled Native blood, but their families always insisted that they were all White, or "pure". You can draw your own conclusions on how that happened, but to put it bluntly, most folks didn't want others knowing that there was even a remote chance that Native blood got into their family at any point, due to the Native American perception long ago. The same can be said for African Americans as well, but I've been told many stories of Natives intermingling with Whites, and the stories being covered up to keep the family's "good name". Of course, that was long ago, but even my father's family, who are of Swedish descent and lived in Kansas, had this happen, and many of them knew about it, but denied it.
The last few decades seemed to have brought a reversal, and now people seem to have a great pride of having Native ancestry, and I'm glad. But everyone should have a shared pride and interest in all branches of their ancestry, always, lest cultures and history be forgotten.
Best movie of the year
