If I had a quarter for every time a white person told me this, I'd be able to help my tiospaye get to Sundance every year for life. Ironically, my stepbrother is an enrolled member of the Cherokee, which is how I know it's lineal descent enrollment, and if you are REALLY Cherokee, you can be enrolled. If you aren't enrolled, please don't lay claim to that Native blood. It's worse than laying claim to our land. You are STILL STEALING.
