Where can I find pictures of Full-Blooded Cherokee people?
Cherokee, which was originally and eastern tribe, driven west 9trail of tears), is like most other Eastern tribes in that it is hard to find “pure bloods”. reason being they are some of the oldest tribes on reservations, and there numbers where intentionally devastated by the goverment in the late 19th and early 20 th century to try and erradicate the tribe. (3/4 of all known former eastern tribes have no bloodlines these days, they are extinct as tribe), Cherokees in Oklahoma have been abused so much previous tothe 1970s that your not going to find pure bloods, maybe some will claim it, but most mixed with other tribes to continue being Indian vs havng white or black or other racial mixes. MOst people from the south claim to have cherokee blood, I guess it’s a trendy thing, like saying they had a relative thats realted to Robert E Lee, it suppose to make them more southern I guess, but the truth is Cherokees where virtually wiped out by the 1820, only a few thousand survived banished
