True. I just printed a genealgy report for a legitimate Cherokee that includes 12 generations of Cherokees. Not once did those folks "hide out" or abandon their people. None of this mythological "passing for white" stuff either. Just Cherokees living their lives as Cherokees.

I don't know what the enrollment process entails for the Muskogee, but if there is something I can help with, let me know.
