Fact 003

I am Cherokee. {wiki} On my fathers side, I am 1/116th.  It’s a reeeealy small amount, I know. But I’ve got a card that says I am part of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma.  I really don’t know much about that part of my history. Little bits of pieces. But I’ve always felt connected to it, at least in a small way.  Some of you may remember this, but I do have ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War - the winning side too! ;-) {link} Mostly I am of English and French decent, a lil Irish thrown in there for good measure.  I’m pale, pale pale, with light eyes and hair. {most recent pic} I’ve colored my hair red for as long as I can remember, but recently I’ve been letting the brown grown and and come through. It’s a light brown though - like my mothers. And my grey, yupp, it’s growing in just like hers too.  (Side note - I actually want to color my hair again, but I dont want to cover the pretty silvers that are showing up on my right temple, just like hers. I’m torn. Maybe I should take a poll.) I don’t think I really look Cherokee, but I am. Even if it’s just a little bit.
