here's a really good topic at a native american messageboard that discusses the issue of blacks being outed from the cherokee nation...i thought you all might want to hear their side of the story before making a final decision about this whole thing.
anyway, it's not the blacks that are part indian that they are expelling...its the ones who cant prove any native american heritage.
here's the link to the topic

i cant really say i have a clear opinion on all of this just yet....before i read more in depth on it and actually read their explanations i had my mind made up that it was just racism on their part ....but then when you read what they have to say you can kind of see their side of things although i dont completely agree with them and still feel they're acting a bit on selfishness.-
but its not like they're kicking out the blacks with cherokee blood, the ones they're kicking out are the ones with no cherokee blood whatsoever.
a few points to consider...native americans have the fewest resources out of any group in the US so its understandable why they would be desperate to lower the amount of people in their tribe. they are also desperate to keep hold of their ways and culture which has been dieing out since whites stepped foot in this country....so why should they be obligated to keep people who arent even indian in the tribe..
on the other hand, these decendants of slaves that they're kicking out, the indian way is the only way they know....so basically alot of black indians are being displaced regardless of the fact that they speak the language, have been in the tribe for centuries, and are completely assimilated into native culture...so its like taking away their culture in a way. not only that but these are the decendants of the same people who faught side by side the indains against white forces and now they're being kicked out and displaced. in a way its harsh and selfish to kick these people out.
so there are 2 sides to this story....and both sides are very understandable. |
