[quote:Anonymous Coward 18717409:MV8xOTEzNjQxXzMyMDExMTQ3Xzk1QTdFODA5] some white people like to talk garbage about those with brown skin tones then turn around and pretend to be part native american because they want the benefits the native americas get (things like food, housing and education assistance) nevermind they only get those benefits because the whites utterly destroyed their culture, took their land and dignity and every earthly belonging and forced them to live in shitholes like cattle, provide them with little work opportunity and constantly supply drugs and alcohol to poison their old and their children into blithe submission [/quote]

Ok i live in Az and see native people all the time living close to a reservation and when i see television and hear reports that most White and yes even black people claiming to be Part Native Cherokee i stop to wonder what the hell is up with these people. I have heard rumors that if they get accepted into a tribe they get benefits too and i am wondering if this is true or not. My friend who really is half Tohono because his dad was full and i mean full!!! Lived on the reservation Ect could not get a tribal card because he is half. I wonder why some people claim Cherokee and have 1/16th blood and get college aid and stuff. I have seen real and i mean real Cherokee people and there tall have tan skin and high cheek bones and straight black hair, Tohono's are usually heavy set dark complected round faced and pretty tall also. But these people claiming ancestry are usually white pasty balding people or Africa black people claiming it.
