And the Indians were often so scarey - that's before REALLY SCAREY entered our world. My 4 kids are adopted - 2 of them are Arapahoe Cheyenne and my husband is Choctaw. In Oklahoma IF your ancestors didn't not sign the papers after coming off the Trail of Tears then they are not registered with a tribe and are WHITE on their birth certificate. My husband is but our kids are not. History says Indians were considered lower than the Negro slaves of the day and many did not want to be known. Isn't that sad, especially since nowadays they could have had their health care provided for, housing and education!<br /><br />missionwife@hotmail.comMelodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555284768417353619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-18258958916363670712013-11-19T22:14:48.803-05:002013-11-19T22:14:48.803-05:00Hi Sonja, thanks for commenting!
