I love the T shirt, "I'm part White, but I can't prove it." I am a Mixed-blood, descended from people whio refused to sign anything with the US Government. Which basically means my ancestors were good at hiding, and does not make then any better or worse than anyone else. I am proud of the remains of the Creek, Cherokee and Seminole culture I have to honor. I never lived on a reservation.
This means I know things people may not expect, and may be ignorant about some basics.
