Tldr: Wife was led to believe her entire life she was Native American by crazy mother... Ancestry DNA test says "that is a lie"
Ok, here's the long version. My wife has been hounded relentlessly by her Obama loving, Trump hating, Socialist mother to fill out an application to be accepted to the local spin off tribe of the Cherokee's. Her main reasoning behind this is so that she can "get a check" when there's finally an Indian casino here ????. We generally try to overlook the MIL's crazy, but I saw the perfect chance to shut her down...and the gamble paid off. The wife's DNA results came back today and guess what?? NONE, NOT ANY Native American DNA. 55% Scandinavian, 14% Ireland, 11% Italy/Greece, 10% Iberian Peninsula, and 9% Great Britain. Oh what a happy day! Her mother is a "card carrying" member of the tribe and goes to their pow wows and assorted other shenanigans. Just had to share one of my small victories tonight, and yes I know the rules... So I've posted a picture of her cracker ass below. She would have been the whitest Native American I'd ever seen ?? Attached File |

Now to trick MIL into doing the same thing and get her kicked out of the tribe!
|
|
So I am guessing that this test invalidates her mothers claim as pure bull shit! Sounds like a letter needs to get dropped to the Cherokee council

Does the tribe not check or something? If she's a card carrying member of their tribe, and it can be proven a lie by a DNA test, how did she get in?
Could always make an anonymous call or something..... |

In the South, everyone seems to think they are at least "1/8th Cherokee". Very few DNA tests bear that out.

There's actually a genealogy requirement before the tribe elders will consider your application. Her and her mother both passed that requirement. Just goes to show that great grandpa chief 10 beers may have just been full of shit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

There are a lot of phony American Indian groups that issue worthless "cards".
If the mother in law isn't an actual tribe member her bullshit card is meaningless anyway. She needs to prove her family's heritage to be accepted as a real member of an actual tribe. https://www.archives.gov/research/native-americans/dawes/tutorial/intro.html http://www.cherokee.org/Services/Tribal-Citizenship |

My wife's best friend when she was younger is the whitest woman you will see.
What's funny is that her Dad and family are 100% Indian and she was born on the reservation herself. But she grew up with her mother and never had any association with that until she was an adult and she met her Dad for the first time since being an infant. I think their reservation actually was partly in Canada and partly in the U.S.. She had a real problem getting a passport because she had no birth certificate. It was really kind of a screwed up situation. Another guy was in my platoon and he was just some white dude as well. But he kept having to go to dental for some sort of work. One day we asked him why and he told us about some genetic disorder that only affects Indians. We were blown away as we had no idea this guy was a Native American. We actually had a number of Native Americans but most were obvious. |

OP, that is funny. Most morons in the South do say the are part Native American, but none have proof.
Cherokees are only in NE Alabama, that I know of. Are they close to getting a casino? The Poarch Creek have two near me. I think you have to be 1/16 for the Creek to recognize you. |

Drop the dime to the tribe on her SJW fauxcahontas commie mommy

My mom is like your mother in law. I decided to have fun and roll the dice and get her and I tested. For my amusement. She was 54 percent and my cracker ass was 27%. I stopped teasing her about that one thing after that.

Why is it always Cherokee? There are other tribes. View Quote ETA: And all Native Americans don't get "checks" and other free money. As I said, the wife is Blackfeet and she may get a check at Christmas from the tribe for $75.00. She calls that her Christmas ham fund. |

Not every tribe has a blood quantum requirement for membership, now, and certainly not in the past.
But having a DNA component that matches other documented tribal members adds some validity to family rumors. Congratulations on your "Indian Princess". She'd be on my 'capture' list. (Her mom, on the other hand, well, COC and all that.) |

This just keeps getting better.. she's not returning texts about the matter at this point. The BEST part is now that we are digging into the website a little deeper, it actually "links" her to her queer uncle that has pushed all this bullshit. His ancestry profile seriously has a picture of him in his damn Indian costume and his DNA results listed... Non of which show Native American. Here's a screenshot of "Chief Big Lie". https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/116858/XCamera-20170821_221027-287001.JPG View Quote |

Oh Lord, I see your in Bama. Is the tribe in question the Echota "nation"? They are notorious for signing up anyone that wants membership. Everyone in Alabama thinks their grandmother was full-blooded Cherokee and these yahoos are more than happy to capitalize on that to fund their Indian LARPing.
Of course they're not federally recognized and their response to that is that the federal government wants to save a buck and therefore doesn't want to give them their benefits. |
