Yes as a elective course she took a class in Cherokee history. She liked it very much!

I can imagine I am still learning our history and I like the things I am learning. I don't know everything about my heritage and honestly it didn't really matter to me till I had kids now I am teaching them the same things that was taught to me and we learn together. We are going to D.C. to a museum probably in the fall to go to a Native American Museum. I am now looking at and getting my grandmother to show me how to do bead work and make certain dress.

One of my old roping partners is Sioux. I learned a little bit from him. I am pretty sure tutanka is buffalo. I don't know the other words.
My partner had pretty interesting genetics. He is related to both Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull. Crazy Horse was on his mother's side of the family and Sitting Bull on his father's side.

I think the primary Native Americans in the immediate area here were Occanneechi. The further you traveled up through the Shenadoah Valley it became predominately
Iroquois.

When I found out the casinos didn't serve liqueur I went there instead.

Yep, his great grandmother (? maybe two greats) on his mother's side was a niece of Crazy Horse. He has a pair of buckskin leggings that great grandma made for great grandpa. They have a button fly. One of the buttons is a US Army button. Sort of makes your hair stand up seeing that. Where would a niece of Crazy Horse get a US Army button?
