You have to be cherrokee tribel members . To have known your leaniage ! This is taught by elders .Grand parents handing down the historical teachings ! Not the black people were only slaves ! But Black people would catch native Americans . And ppl it them into slavery ! So the truth is known by native Americans ! About the Blacks
Capturing Native American cherrokees using them as slaves ! So now the truths will confuse the blacks in America ! For they all believe they are the only people !
And believe they are from the African lands ! This shows they are very mutch miss. informed !
I'd say they should trace their Ancestry and follow it from top to bottom ! They just might find they are not at all African descendents !
And even. them. who. could. have some Native American Ancestry ! Or white Ancestry !
And I'm race eatch Of their blood lines ! Cherrokee. do. this We
I'm race. all our blood lines
With. respect band honor ! We don't hod. hatred we are all Children of. the same. Father in heaven ! He. is. of. the Jewish perswasion ! All children of our God
So we all should l ove our selves ! And love our. leanieage ! I'm race who we are !
Put. this race. play away ! This is who we are ! I'm our birth writes !race ! And we must learn from this and comprehind it's message And live to bstrive to be
True Americans ! This is our nation
One Nation Under. God ! Indivisible and justice. For. All !

My maternal grandmother's day was full Cherokee, her mother was half Cherokee and Irish. My great grandmother was raised in the Cherokee community as her husband traveled for work throughout the country. For a few weeks each year he returned to her and provided whatever money's and traded goods he amassed during his time away from her.
I believe my heart grandmother was 14 when she was introduced to my great grandpa. They married and had 17 children, but 3 died shortly after birth as three of those pregnancies were twins.
My grandmother was one of those sets of twins. Her twin brother died about a month after they were born.

They lived in Harrah Oklahoma, my great grampa worked felling trees for a living. He was killed by a tree when it fell on him. My grandma was six.
The stories grandma shared throughout my life were fascinating.
She was born in 1917 and she had many stories from her mom and grandma that were incredible.
I used to tell her to write a book with all those wonderful, and tragic stories she told.
Grandma was not treated well in school. They weren't allowed to play with most of the children as their parents didn't like native American peoples. Harrah Oklahoma was kind of evolved for the times, but there was still much racism geared towards my great gram and her 14 children. All of them except one here up to do great things, were educated, well rounded and emotionally stable. It was my uncle Therell who has issues as he was bullied harshly. Being the youngest of all the kids it hit him harder than the others.
In 1934 my grandmother married, and in '36 my mom was born, 1938 my uncle was born.
They divorced in 1943, and grandma married my step grampa in 1946. His family was not keen on my grandma being Cherokee and treated her so nasty and rudely. My grandpa said up for grandma and told them all, at a family gathering, that is anybody had a problem with his wife they would just be cut out of his life and if they couldn't test her with kindness and respect to let him know right then so he could take his PREGNANT wife and leave as she didn't deserve such ugliness in her life.
They all calmed down and actually tried to get to know grams instead of presuming things about her. Most of them became the biggest fans of gram. Her and grandpa went on to have two more daughters after my aunt was born in 1947.
I, (born in 1960), personally witnessed her take care of several of them as they aged and became sick. She never talked about them and the horrible way they treated her early her marriage. It was my grandpa who told me how these people she was taking loving care of while they were dying, treated her.
I marveled at grandma's giving heart and ability to turn the other cheek and forgive the meanness they extended to her. I asked her once how she could be so kind to them after they treated her like shit just because she was Cherokee. She told me to never forget what she was about to say, and I didn't... Grandma said, "no matter what happened to you in your life, no matter how badly people may treat you, it is important to realize that you cannot control what anybody around you does to you. And always remember they are also God's children and because we are all human we often make mistakes. It's what happens when the mistakes people make come to light, how they redeem themselves that's the key to whether you accept them in your life or cut them out. But over all things remember to forgive even before you're asked to. That is what you have to do for your own sanity and we'll bring in your heart".

This is just a small nugget of what she who my grandma was. She was so many things. Very intelligent, giving, loyal, true, trustworthy, honest and ethical. I've never met anyone like her since. One of those one of a kind treasures we are gifted with, and my gift was huge as I had her ask my childhood teen years well into adulthood. She lived long enough to meet my daughter, a joy she smiled ear to ear over, as she did with each of her grand children and great grandchildren.
I'm proud of my heritage, and grandma told me to never forget my heavy lineage of Cherokee.
I could go on and on about what she taught me through my life, but you get the gist.

I do want to add; is it just me, or is it kind of rare to find those of Cherokee lineage these days? I mean strong blood lines like mine through my grandma?
Isn't it aggravating that native Americans are not often spoke of when it come to regrets white people have for how they treated other races throughout the eons? You always hear about other races being oppressed and maltreated, but you rarely hear about the horrid way all native Americans were treated and still likely are?
Humans can be ugly. I'm glad I was raised to know better that nobody is more important than any other.

@Greg Kosinski there's black people online claiming that the true Native Americans were African not realizing that the natives themselves kept African slaves. I seen a video of a black man claim he was 100% Cherokee and not African at all.

@EGate817 No one said they were African. They are saying the indigenous population were not the Native Americans with stringy hair and dang near white narrative that has been pushed. They were copper colored and black with every shade in between with many different textures of hair as the so-called black ppl today. They were Indian before they were split up and the government started labeling many 'Negro', 'Colored', and ''Black'.

My Cherokee family became Old Settlers in Oklahoma prior to the forced removal. We still grow traditional maize, beans, squash, tomatoes, peppers, and forage. My grandparents were able to keep farming in spite of the Dust Bowl era because they took care of the land.

I’m a descendant, on my moms side her mtdna is Cherokee and goes back to anotolia/sumeria/Egypt/Phoenicians even has Jewish traces I have had dreams before I knew this that I was in a lodge made of wooden pillars with many older natives around and I saw carved in the wood was Sumerian cuneiform and I asked what is this what does it say and they told me “it’s our story”. This was a very weird and real dream I had before knowing any of this about my ancestry. Could you ask or do you know of any myths stories that could explain this I know the alphabet is very similar to Phoenician and a lot of word and dyes but not much else other than the myths of friendly giants which I wonder if they weren’t a little more than friendly thanks for any help I know this is weird but I’m without a tribe and always wonder about this.

Sequoia was better known as George Gist. He was the son of Nathaniel Gist, an English planter, and a Cherokee woman. His father taught him to read and write at a young age. He knew that a written language would help to solidify the Cherokee people. Fewer than 5% of Cherokee learned to read and write. My Cherokee ancestor and English ancestor met and married in Surry County North Carolina in 1800. They moved to Cloud County Kansas where they farmed and raised a large family. By any measure they were a very successful family.

My 5th grade teacher was a Cherokee. Other than her ethnicity she didn't share much about her history and culture, unfortunately. U.S. history of the 50 states was on our 5th grade curriculum and that is what we stuck to. I did take North American Indian history in high school as a participant in the honors history program. This is a great supplement to what I learned back then.

If you have more than 8% Creek blood in your DNA test you can sign up with the nation and you can find your link to what band you belong to. My grandparents were both full blooded Creek. I have been lucky enough to go to the reservation for summer since I was a baby. They lived until I was in my late 20’s and they were able too meet my kids. I only go out there every couple of years since we lost them but I still have a house there and my kids are part of the nation. My kids love hunting and riding horses but they have their own families now so they don’t go to the nation unless it’s a wedding or something.

My Grandfather was 1/4 Eastern Cherokee. He told me that he and his Mother went to OK by train to visit relatives. He contracted malaria in OK. His son, my Uncle, fought against the Japanese in the Pacific during WW2. He also contracted malaria and other tropical diseases in the Pacific. I have visited Cherokee, NC several times and bought Cherokee basketry and a flat bow. I was fortunate to work for the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian, in Washington, DC from 2000-2004.

A dna test says I am around 1/4 indigenous and my 4th great grandmother survived the trail of tears. My great grandmother told me the family hid out in the Appalachian Mountains because they were afraid of the government. The whole family still lives in the Appalachian Mountains and I am doing my best to teach myself about the culture so I can pass it on to my children.

There were about 400 Cherokee that escaped the Trail of Tears. I'm also a descendant of what's called The Lost Tribe. They were mostly the elderly, the women and children, and they were led by a Father and his three sons. A treaty was struck with the USA, and they were released into the Appalachian settlers population, and the father and his three sons were hung for treason. My family name is in the 1913 Cherokee registry but, we were lost from the tribe at that time as well.

@Serena S
There were way more than 400. People aren't dumb, they can see bad things coming and many just go ahead and take off before things go bad. They took off into the hills and many, at least in my family, stayed near Scottish settlers because their way of living was so Similar, so they had a good level of respect for each other and each other's ways.
My great grandmother, who was born in 1882, could speak tslagi and gaelic equally as well as she could speak English.
There were at least 9 clans of Cherokee, but only 3 clans get to be called Cherokee? That math ain't adding up, so my guess is that the 400 comes from people who signed onto rolls or treatises, and then ignores thise who didn't, which was the majority.

I'm Cherokee, grew up in Clinton Arkansas. The trail of tears ran right through my uncle's front yard. He used to own the old post office right there by the little red in the valley. We found a lot of old silver utensils and old crates of dynamite while caving during my summers. I used to try and teach people about my heritage but would always get told I wasn't native because I had facial hair. It's weird how people don't know that mountain people will grow hair moreso than plainsfolk.

A lot of my ancestors who migrated to the US moved along what would eventually be the US/Canada border as hunters, trappers, traders, etc. and married into the Cherokee tribe as being part of the tribe made hunting, etc. easier. My father often told me when I was young about this, and I googled the words Cherokee and my last name and found a LOT of my ancestors were Cherokees, judging by how often my last name appeared in tribal websites

My home, built in the 1800’s, is only about a 1/2 mile from Toqua in Vonore, TN and I often wonder if the family that originally owned the property and built the house received the land from the Cherokee. There are many descendants in this area still and I think it is really cool that they keep the language and traditions alive. There are classes at the Sequoyah museum. And while most of the area is under water now, Ft Loudon and the Tellico Blockhouse can be visited as well.

My mother was 1/2 Cherokee. She had lots of knowledge regarding plants, how to care for them and when we moved to Arkansas took us kids in the car and would drive around on dirt roads looking for wild blackberry patches, Wild plum thickets,, old uncared for pear, apple, peach, pecan, walnut, persimmon trees, poke salat', patches then contact the owners and ask if she could care for these treasures and have 1/2 of the pickings when she picked them. She always took a gallon of gas, a lawnmower, a rake and would clean around her "Patches" and make things healthy, then reap the rewards come fall. Most people, except those with pear or apple trees, would usually refuse the pickings. W moved 4 times in Arkansas and she did the same thing wherever we moved to. We were well fed with not a thing in the yards but dirt qnd grass and of course her garden, that she would dig qnd take care of every year.

My maternal great grandmother was full blood Cherokee and lived in Mississippi. Because of the Jim Crow laws, she was not allowed to legally marry her ' white' husband. As I grew up I heard about my great grandfather not my great grandmother. Even at 9, I thought that unusual. Now I better understand..they were trying to 'pass'. I am actively interested in reclaiming information about my Cherokee heritage. I am a member of Wellbriety and incorporating my Native American self in my recovery.

I know those unspeakable acts done to the REAL "Americans" as well as the poor souls stolen from their own lands and forced into slavery can never be undone or righted. Therefore I feel it's of the utmost importance to make sure that we as a country always show appreciation and gratitude plus sympathy to all those wronged during the formation of our nation. I also feel that we should always remember our entire history, the good and the bad, so future generations may see the atrocious things people will do to one another in order to succeed.

Thank you for the informational video. I am of Cherokee descent, with my great grandma being 100% Cherokee. As the pictures flashed, I was reminded of her, she loved smoking her pipe, chewing on tobacco and always had a can of snuff on hand and wore her hair in pigtails with the tails hanging in front. As I traced my family via the first US Census records, they all first appeared in Edgecombe NC which was a populous town during the period. An an ancestor Holly Cherry appeared in the first US Census at the age of 72. Given that census was 1902 she was born in 1830, which I’m sure she and her Family were entangled in the Trail of Tears and was amongst those who hide in the Smokey Mountains.

I am amazed and humbled by the research that you have provided. My grandmother was one-fourth Cherokee. Her mother was half Cherokee and her grandmother was full Cherokee. My grandmother was born around 1890 . These were strong women. They were survivors! they married white men to avoid the constant harassment and persecution . my grandmother came West on a covered wagon as a child to California. they had to leave her little brother behind with relatives who she never saw again. She and her sister had to hide their identities for fear of being exposed as native Cherokee. All of this was so painful and traumatic my grandmother never liked to ever share much of anything about it. Even my dad faced discrimination for looking too "ethnic".! he used to joke that apparently he wasn't" White " enough. Anyway God bless the Cherokee people and their descendants. The Bible says that God will judge the nation's for their crimes I hope that someday he will sort it all out with Justice!

I've always dreamed of having native American friends, can you be my friend??

I am Cherokee, too! Too bad that the media refuses to bring to life about Black Americans are Aborigines and American Indians!

Fragrant Spaces

@Christina True. unfortunately, the media isn't the only one not willing to acknowledge the black Cherokee. My grandmother used to tell me about stories she grew up with when her mother and grand mother were called half breeds by both sides of the family.

I live in NE Oklahoma, in the Cherokee Nation. Our land, and most of this 1/2 section was owned by a 'Freedman'. 3 houses away was the local black school built after statehood. We didn't have segregation until then. The other kids, white or Native all went to public school.

Does anyone know if this creator covers the Inuit of the arctic?

[Edit] I see now that this is a relatively new YouTube Channel. If you or your team would consider doing a showcase of the Inuit that would be greatly appreciated as they are a somewhat underserved population. I know that can be said about a vast number of Native American tribes, but as someone in the teaching field I often find resources to show the children to be lacking or focusing on modern problems instead of the history of the people, their culture, and traditions.

I don't know if this would help in any way but, there was a professor at Oklahoma University that lived with the Inuit and I took her anthropology class in the early 90's. I don't remember her name.

I really appreciate your videos. They're excellent. I'm so glad I found this channel.

I had no idea that their Pre-Invasion Territory was so extensive prior to the Anglo/Colonial appearance on the North American Soil. In the 60's I began to study North American Natives with extensive reading upon the Cherokee Nation. My introduction was Andrew Jackson's 'Removal' and the 'Trail of Crying' Consequences. Thank you.

This is a great video. Quick and broad. I like the matriarchal society. I really like how they hunted turkey with a blow dart gun made of cane. Might give that a try of making one. Also surprised to see that many people speaking the traditional language today!

❤Thank you for these fascinating videos! We can also learn about ancient American Inhabitants by reading their written histories, published in The Book of Mormon - Another Testament of Jesus Christ. The last chapter of Moroni tells how we can know that these records are true.😊

Except the part where they wore beards at the 3-minute Mark. I've always been under the understanding from the Cherokee side of my family that that's not a thing, and they're fortunate enough to not have a lot of facial hair if any. Am I right?

My great-great-grandfather was Cherokee and his wife was Choctaw.. they live in Mississippi he is one of the signed the treaty to give up their land in Mississippi for land up north which we all know what happened to them it was the trails of tears.. where a lot of them perished.. my grandmother did not want to go she begged him to go to Alabama and that is where they went.. that is where my family is from even though we live here.. his name is in the records... They were tricked by our government similar to the way we are today...

This is a more thorough history than the information in the Cherokee museum in North Carolina. I knew this history before,being from the area. I'm from WNC,so I wanted to view this to see if the information provided was accurate. I would say the information provided is pretty accurate. The only thing I wish this documentary had is more information. Maybe a follow up video will be provided in the future ,it's hard to sum up everything in 30 minutes. The Cherokee museum mentions nothing of slavery or of native people in the Civil War. Please touch on the snow bird history. Thanks again for the content.

Would love to hear American history from the written/oral records of the first Americans. American history is always told from the English/Spanish speaking (as far as I've seen) perspective.

My maternal grandparents were Cherokee from North Carolina my paternal grandparents were Cherokee and Caucasian Jamaican. I always put American Indian but if I’m not from any tribal land they don’t accept it. I would like my children to know this heritage although I didn’t practice any of this or taught this just was told to be proud. I remember my grandmother mom and aunt always wearing the two braids out the band around their head.

@naitthegr81 Some cherokees did not go on the trail of tears because they ran and hid from the soldiers. Same thing with my people, my grandfather was full blood Mississippi Choctaw. He told me that the Choctaws in Oklahoma today were the ones that went on the trail of tears, while the Choctaws in Mississippi refused to leave their land. So they hid in the woods when soldiers came looking for them.

I am part Cherokee and part black I visited the reservation a lot I love the way the wind blow on my face and it was a long time because once you left the tribe it was hard to come back into the tribe but one day they came and gave my dad a reservation card we could visit I wanted to stay there I hated to move off the reservation after my dad died
