We "Other" Native Americans
Jan 11, 2007
We "Other" Native Americans
My husband's maternal grandmother was a Cherokee. He is the one that got those dark handsome looks.
I have loved Indians since I was a toddler, yet wasn't sure why. On a family trip, while in my teens, in North Dakota I had "feeling" of some type of ties to the area. At on point during a drive, Dad got lost, and somehow I knew how to direct him back to our destination. As an adult, I began reading all I could about Native American history, culture, and, legends. When my children were in elementary school, teachers had me as a guest speaker, "The Indian Lady", to help teach more about them. By then, I had also been collecting Native American type statues, prints, artifacts, and books. Years later, I discovered genealogy and, hopeful though I was, I can find no true proof of Indian ancestors. However, I do have direct ancestral grandmother who had been adopted by the Lenni Lenape (Delaware). She'd been captured in near the headwaters of the Potomac River, in 1756. She was brought to the Northwest Territory (Ohio), was adopted and was loved. In 1764, she was returned to her original family by Colonel Boquet. She married and raised a family. When her husband died, however, she went to live with her children who had migrated to Ohio in 1802. She was through regions she'd surely been through before. I've been blessed to visit her grave, and, there was a John Chapman buried nearby. And, I have some theories of how he'd met her before coming here and its how he was first easily welcomed by the Lenni Lenape. While I was exploring genealogy, I returned to finish college, and, "felt" ancestor angels around me. I made all "A"s the first quarter and continued to do well. Now, although a grandma of 10, I nearly have an M.Ed. I'm a life-long advocate for many issues and causes, and, remain dedicated to Native American causes. So far, 3 of our grandsons insist they "feel" they are Indians somehow, too. Recently, I attended one grandson's Thanksgiving party, at the same school my kids attended and where I was The Indian Lady. And...he was an Indian that day. My own children and I often fill in Native American when asked our race. Nearly every branch in our lineages were in this land before it was the United Staes, therefore, we are indeed Native Americans. I feel discriminated against by native groups that insist people must show close blood-relative proof to be considered an American Native. Some thing, like genetics and spirituality (and more), are much deeper than even blood.
