Lots of stretching and leaps in logic here! I know everyone wishes they were Cherokee, this guy wants us to adopt the Greeks.

Seriously, and with no offense to the LDS Freepers, I put my trust in the historians and ethnographers who agree that Linguistically, they are part of the Iroquoian-language family and are thought to have migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples were located.

Tsalagi is Creek, it means people who speak a different language. To be accurate you can call us Aniyunwiya.

This is ironic coming from a Jewish Indian..lol

Christian Identity...biggest Jews haters on the planet after Muzzies...also believe Cherokess were different.

The “Real People” they call them.

My wife was glad to hear that...she always wondered why she was special?
