My wife is actually 12.5 Cherokee. She told me her grandmother married a white dude. Actually, Scottish men and Cherokee had much respect for another because both lived on the land and were treated bad in history. They married one another in them early days I've been told. Check this out @espola
“The Scottish fur traders arrived in the colonies largely as single men. The Scots were so compatible with the Indians that after 1750 nearly all the fur traders among the Eastern Indians were Highland Scots. They soon aligned with Native American women. These marriages facilitated trade because Native wives usually taught their husbands their tribal languages. It was well acknowledged the key roles that Native wives played in their husband's operations.
Historically there were a number of parallels between the American Indians and the Highland Scots. The two groups had much in common. The Cherokee admired the Highland Scots whom they considered fellow warriors. Each had fought lengthy battles, stretching over centuries, both against one another and against English speaking invaders. Members of both groups being driven from their homelands deepened the parallel. Both were mountain people with proud, independent, warrior societies who gloried in a good fight, rough games and reckless living. Each had achieved partial, but by no means complete, success in fending off invasions. As indigenous peoples, their social structures reflected numerous similarities. Each viewed land as essentially a communal resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold for profit. Each identified itself by bands or clans, and since chiefdom descended through lineage, each devised a system flexible enough to allow selection of the best person for the job. Both were clan societies which considered loyalty to the clan their first obligation. An Indian's insistence on vengeance for the killing of a member of his clan was perfectly understood by an 18th century Highlander with a similar custom. There were even parallels between their harvest ceremonies. Both cultures were primarily oral, with folklore and stories passed on to the children containing the distilled wisdom of their people. Finally, the deep wisdom and strength of character that each group has displayed over the centuries has allowed them to endure their calamities with dignity.”

Most Guatemalan’s and southern Mexicans are Native Americans.
All I know and what I’ve seen going East for games is that calif is losing millions weekly from softball, baseball, volleyball, and soccer games. Never seen it so busy on I-10, seen numerous moving vans...
She's going to be a ref. She has lot's to say to crazy dad and mama bear. I cant wait to film her being a ref. They make good money too
What in that story responds to this? -- "Elizabeth Warren applied to college as Native American, even though she is 1/1024 NA."

The lack of league games is not stopping the boys from playing. In our area the older HS boys have formed their own "league" and scrimmage every week. There are no coaches and they manage themselves. There are enough boys to have four teams, and the last scrimmage that I watch, I saw four different club teams. They don't schedule any fields, they don't ask permission of any authority, they don't ask permission from their clubs. They just do it
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says “American Indian or Alaska Native” are those “having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America), and who maintain cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community recognition.”
It's all going to Arizona and not San Diego. WHO is hurt by all this? I know a tasty Mexican Taco place in Oceanside that took a huge hit because no soccer or sports. It will soon read, "The Annual Economic Loss And Social and Mental Health Impact."
Shut up already. You lost. Washington Post liberal too.
That article debunks the claim.
What did I get wrong?
So are you claiming she’s Native American? Cause she clearly checked the box.
If this is true then I'm 1/4 native american (Inca ancestry...my dad even speaks Quechua)! My understanding has always been that having indigenous peoples blood from south of the Rio Grande doesn't qualify you as Native American but rather Hispanic. If that's wrong, I've been filling out my schooling and work applications wrong all these years. Heck, when my sons and I were LARPing at Disneyland a few years back, I could have even proudly joined the Native American team.
But then, I've never understood the rules. Back when I applied to the Ivies in the 80s, I was told I was inelligible for affirmative action because only people descended from Mexico and Puerto Rico qualified, and given my Peruvian/Spanish ancestry I was inelligible.
Clearly checked what box? You posted "Elizabeth Warren applied to college as Native American".
In her admission application to Rutgers, she responded "No" to the question of whether she wanted to claim minority status. Her UT-Austin employee directory entry lists her as "White".
That's in the WP article that has been linked twice in this thread already and that you apparently have not read yet.
That doesn’t answer the question. This is the same evasive nonsense argument that kids aren’t killing each other, so it must be fine if they kill their family and other adults around them.
Well, if the rich one goes first, that must be me.
