Why do most of these phony Indians claim to be cherokee? Inquiring minds want to know...

LOL... it's such a joke among people who do genealogy. They always say, "My grandmother spoke about her great great grandmother, who had high cheekbones and straight dark hair, so she said we must be Cherokee..." And then Warren came out today AND SAID EXACTLY THAT!

The truth is that if your family did have American Indian heritage, it was hushed up and often these folks were marked in censuses as "mulatto." As soon as they could, they removed that marker as well.
