I'm a cherokee girl, My grandpa tried to speak to me in Cherokee. Thank you for this. He died from cancer 2 years ago. I'm trying to learn it in his name. Thank you for this video
As an Indonesian Muslim, I feel proud that Native Americans accept Islamic teachings. Historically, Native American tribes had previously embraced Islamic teachings (the Cherokee). They became apostates (Christians) by the Spanish conquistadors. Native American tribes have known monotheism. And know God. If asked who is your Lord??... The answer is Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds and all the blessings He has bestowed. There is no god but Him (Allah). And Allah says in the Qur'an Surah Thaha: 14 'Verily I am Allah, there is no god but Me, so worship Me and pray to remember Me.
@@notmyworld44 I look around at different places. My grandfather spoke Cherokee and my dad did a little. I know a little but not enough to carry on a major conversation. I need to learn more it's a dying language. I'm waiting until spring when I can get enrolled through the Cherokee Heritage classes.
@@liannacostantino1201 Your comment is interesting. Are you more familiar with the Oklahoma dialect? I know it is very different from the eastern dialect. Would like to hear more from you on this.
Thank you so much..my great grandparents were both Cherokee and I dearly miss them teaching me the language..they passed away to soon to finish teaching me..as I grew older I found I had lost most of what I learned..I trust you will continue their endeavour..so thank you.
@@cloudyskies2729 yes he know. The reason why there are a lot of black people claim that their half Indian is because some of the native Americans are slave owners and when it comes to the slaves (black people) they tend to breed with them and there’s terms to describe biracial blacks at the time of slavery words like Sambo, mulatto etc etc. so it would make sense when it comes to the time of their near extinction due to tribalism. Which that’s the sad part of reality 😔
I am glad that Chief Moon Wolf has taken the time, in order to do these lessons. Although, I am a part of the Western band of Cherokee's, I have noticed, that Chief Moon Wolf makes it easier for me, to follow along, to learn how to speak the pre- removal dialect. Which, I would agree is smoother to speak, as I see Chief Moon Wolf's point, that the Western dialect comes across to me as choppy! I also find that many of the presentation can be different to follow along with! Again, I like the fact that there is a version of Cherokee language dialect, I can listen to, and work at learning to speak! Moreover, it has always been something, that I truly wanted to do, since I was a child, and even though, I wouldn't say by any means a master, however, I at least feel like I can follow along, and speak it as well as I am able too! With no disrespect to those trying to teach the Western band version, of the Cherokee language, this version is less complicated to me, in which, I can wrap my mind around learning to speak a language, that is a part of my heritage as a Cherokee citizen! S'gi Cheif Moon Wolf!
It is indeed crazy. We have to be diligent in preserving our cultural languages. None of them should be lost. My Irish ancestors were beaten for simply speaking their native language. Oppressors will always tried to take away weapons and heritage.
Oh jeez!, Once immigrants came to this country they all just wanted so badly to fit in that they willingly gave up their heritages and didn't teach the children the old ways. Nor did they want their own to exhibit the old ways because in this country because back then if you didn't fit in you were ostracized. What a screwed up mess this country still is. I love seeing the differences and the similarities between cultures. The Native Americans use a drum that is so similar to the Bodhran but get totally different music from it. It's awesome. Native Americans, Irish, and African Americans frequently intermarried because they were all treated like garbage by the WASPS so they all hung together. The Chinese were treated like dirt too. It was the Irish from the East Coast and the Chinese from the West Coast that build American's railroads.
Wado for making these videos. I have roots in the Tsikamagi. I am a firm believer that when we loose our languages we loose a part of ourselves. With your videos I feel like I am learning a new part of my heritage. Wado and adassligi utsati.
Thank you Chief Moon Wolf for your very interesting and well executed lessons. Your pronunciation is extremely clear and easy to catch on to. My family is from Murphy, Cherokee County, North Carolina. I was born in Los Angeles California and grew up there and Oregon from the fifth grade on. we found many obsidian indian arrowheads on our property. I wasn't thinking of learning to speek Cherokee but after seeing how easy you make it to sound and how I found I was able to replicate the intricate vocal inflections of the language I felt interested in pursuing it. your a good teacher. Very important work. Thank you.😊
I am so happy I found this. I just found my grandfather on the Dawes Roll. Excited to connect with my Ancestors and culture so I may preserve and pass it on. My Ancestors walked the Trail.
I am part white and part Native American my grandma was full blooded Cherokee and my grandpa was part black foot and part Cheyenne (sorry if I misspelled it) on my father's side and I always wanted to learn the Cherokee language and embrace my heritage... thank you so very much for taking the time to share the wisdom and showing us how to speak the language... I'm so humbled and can't wait to see more videos... once again thank you
Wow this is incredible. I've studied phonetics & that sound you make at 2:46 (Tli) is actually what's called "lateral s" ie, the air flows off the sides of your tongue instead of out through the middle. The way you can make this sound (sort of) is to get ready to make the sound "l" (like at the beginning of the word "like") but do it without making a sound. A "silent" or whispered "l". That's the lateral s. The word "Tli" sounds like it begins with that sound, except it has a little more of a "t" sound at the beginning. Thank you so much for posting this!
Awesome!!! I am Egyptian and I am so excited to learn about the Cherokee language ! Thank you for taking the time to provide me with this wonderful opportunity!
Thank you so much for doing these lessons. I was adopted from foster care when I was 6 and recently learned that my biological family was from the Eastern Cherokee branch. I’ve longed to learn the language and more about my heritage but struggled to find accurate information that’s specific to my ancestry. I look forward to more videos and any more information I can get. Thank you again for making these videos so easy to learn from.
My great grandmother was Cherokee, thank you for sharing and helping to teach the language. Through this effort, you help preserve your heritage. Thank you.
John Nokosi my great grandmother was 100% cherokee. And while I am mixed with Irish and my skin is white, I know about my native American heritage, and I couldn't agree with you more
OK read some very critical comments Here. Found them disrespectful and quite shameful. The Native American Languages were stolen and outlawed by the white man. Many Natives were robbed of their heritage and so much more. It is a Miricale that some have survived and passed down the language. For that I am beyond greatful . Some say tomato some say tomatoe some say pattatoe. some say potato. The important thing is to keep the language alive. As in the war code talkers were the secret to winning WWII. It will again someday be needed. To critize any Native American who is offering to help on his own free time at no charge is to be of the highest regard and respected even more so as a Chief. Please do not critize this great Native American Man. In a prior comment I stated I would not comment further until I could do so in Native tounge. Meant that with all my heart. Yet can not stand by and say nothing as you critize my ancestor's off spring. Even though I never met or know him personally. So please just be glad he is helping those of us who's ancestors has lost the language and now so many of us seek for the greater good of us all. Thank You, Sundancer10021956@yahoo.com
it's sad that people want to talk down about others and don't know what they are talking about it don't matter if they have blue eyes or brown it don't matter if they are pale god never said we all would be the same my great grandmother mother was full blooded Cherokee and my grandmother was half and my mom is a quarter if you get out in the sun yes you are going to be dark but if you avoid the sun you are not going to be dark I love the Beautiful Cherokee language and I'm blessed to learn it and understand it and if my great grandmother was here she would be pleased to know that I am learning it you learn about your family and where you are from you learn alot about your self if your are down on your self you are down on your family and accept who you are and move on we didn't choose who we are god did I'm blessed have Cherokee running through my vains
It's shameful people have to criticize this man. I am grateful that he took time to make these videos. Not being a Native American I am interested in learning about languages and cultures..
Sun Dancer: Thank you. Many hearts, for many moons, have yearned for this to be. Chief Moon Wolf, much gratitude, praise and respect for your selflessness.
I fully agree...we will not tolerate ANY disrespect nor degradation to the native tribes nor our ancestors.we did not ask you here...you came and took our lands...our lives and our heritage.so you must learn respect as you seem to want respect in return...you must earn it yet you chose to degrade rather than respect.
great work, Chief. even though I am Italian and have nothing to do with Cherokee heritage I really appreciate the effort of keeping such wonderful but endangered languages alive. language is culture and culture is wealth.
The Thunderbolt Tsikamagi Nation never signed a treaty with the feds and is originally from Kentucky, TN, GA and AL. It is comprised of a diverse background of other tribes. It is similar to the Florida Seminole tribe which never signed a treaty with the feds. and is comprise of other tribes, so don't disrespect someone whose history you have not researched. Plus, snubbing other tribal nations because the feds do not recognize them is letting them cont. to control your life based on their laws and here I am speaking with other Native Americans.
You are right. The federal government has been corrupt and have separated the tribes throughout generations to keep everyone easy to control. Beautiful choice of words!
Hell's a poppin Photographs say a lot. If a person looks black, they're black. If they look Native American, you can bet they're Native American. Names too: like having "Tizah-neh" for a middle name. And if all the descendants from so-and-so have insisted that they're Shawnee, for a couple hundred years, you can bet they are. My husband has ancestors who are Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek and Catawba. Some cousins are on Creek, Catawba and Cherokee rolls, but my husband's direct line did not. I've been trying to track down my husband's Native American ancestors for a long time and finally found a bunch this past year. I have Native American blood through my dad and (supposedly) some through my mom. A cousin has the records, but I don't know which cousin, so I feel like I don't have the right to say that I have Lakota blood (which is what has been handed down). In short, my husband and I don't want government benefits. I just want to pass on all our family stories and heritage. I want to help preserve our ancestors' languages so they are not lost.
Thank you so much Chief Moon Wolf! My mother taught us much about our people but sadly, she was not taught our language and could not teach it to me. We've both wanted to learn Cherokee to many years and finding your videos has made me so happy! Now we can both learn Cherokee and I can't wait to show her this.
I luv the lessons Dear Chief Moon Wolf. I am a Catalpa of the Wolf Clan Ancestry. My family was a leftover remnant that Married into and took English names in order to stay on their homeland during the terrible trail times. The Language was lost to us. I'm glad to find it and hope to learn all I can. I plan to teach it to my Grandchildren. THANK YOU DEAR SIR,, Your work is appreciated here in TN!!
A"Ho! You are wonderful. I found someone else teaching Cherokee. He's absolutely wonderful, but you "dumb it down*THANK YOU! Lol I'm"self taught"because I lost my teacher, my actual mother. I have a beautiful book on Beginning Cherokee, but you keep it simple to where I can understand it. I'm Medicine and you're taking the language and teaching the ones who want to carry on the legacy of our people to our sons and daughters, then our grand children. Thank you.
Wow really!!!!! What is up with you Europeans and you Africans continuously trying play native?! If you look duck and crack like a duck b**** you are a duck if you get my point.
That statement didn't apply to all biracial or mixed Native American!!!! The one's who this apply to know who they are!!! So please let's not play the dumb game.
How are you the one that determines that? Do you know this person's ancestry? It sounds like you think you can tell a native by how they look and that's what the white folks have always said.
I am 4th generation Cherokee on my mother side and my grate grand MOTHER moved to Philadelphia and NEVER taught us the language... smh...im so happy you are sharing this 😙😙😙😙😙😙😙
Chief Moon Wolf, I would like to express my gratitude to you for sharing this sacred knowledge. I am so excited to continue watching all of the videos you have posted! Thank you! A'ho!
Thank you Chief! I've been on a journey to reconnect with my culture so i can pass down to my future children. Thank you for giving me a stepping stone.
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us with the Cherokee language. Even though I’m as white as can be I have a soft spot in my heart for all natives and respect for their culture as well. Yesterday, I got to go to my first pow wow and was totally amazed at the love and reverence for all past ancestors and it’s culture but amazed that through everything that has been done to them they pay homage to this country and it’s veterans. I danced for the first time and was made to feel loved and respected in song and dance. What a wonderful feeling it was. My only wish was that I had native ancestry or by some stroke of luck I was adopted into their family. My heart led me to speak on this and show my respect..thank you!!
This might be a dumb question but I've recently sort of taken an interest in Natives, Were most of the tribe languages similar? Like could a Cherokee person and Chickasaw person understand each other, or are they totally different?
littlebit080780. Nope. Even w/the cherokee language, there's eastern band and western band. They're different. Listen to the beginning of this lesson 1.
Thank you for this clear and well organized basic course on pronunciation. Cherokee sounds a lot softer than I anticipated. A few years ago my wife after many years of research managed to find her American grandfather who was a GI of the US occupation forces in Austria when my mother in law "happened". To my delight we found that my wife - and my children - are direct descendants of Lucy Bearpaw Proctor who is a well documented victim of the trail of tears. A number of the ancestors of my wife are documented with their native names, so it is our aim to learn how to say them properly.
I have a Cherokee language book. It says the word for 'my home' is 'a que nv sv' Can you please make a video showing how to pronounce that? I'm want to know how to say 'home' or 'my home'
I was surprised how different eastern and western dialects are. I'm a western speaker. I'm glad people like you are making an effort to help preserve our language. Wado.
Is it true that the Cherokee language makes no distinction between "wolf" and "coyote"? I've seen both rendered as "Wa-ya". If so, that's perfectly consistent with recent genomic studies, which demonstrate that the two animals are basically just subspecies of the same species.
thank you so much for breaking down the sounds I have dyslexia and phonetically spelling helps me out a lot My great,great grandmother was full Cherokee on my dads side and on my mom is Irish and Celtic. I have taught my self to sing amazing grace now I want to go feather with this .. Kentucky where my dad was born
Wow really! What is up with you Europeans and you Africans continuously trying to play native you are not native you got your own culture be proud of it. Stop trying to be something you are not you barely have native blood in you! You people who like to play native how about you go take a DNA test and find out how Native you truly are!
Chief Moon Wolf: Thank you for setting up and posting these Cherokee language videos. Your breakdown, enunciation and English cross references really help retention. We're just beginning, my grandson and I.
I've always enjoy old Indian stories and always felt freed when I heard them and had a passion for the Indian dances. Little did I know I was part cherokee. my grandfather was full blooded cherokee I was took from my family pretty much at birth and never told however when I met my biological mother she told me deep down I already knew. I really enjoyed the video and the few people that care to keep Indian traditions alive. I wish I was born back in the days where I could see the dance and learn the ways. thank you for the video I really enjoyed it.
Why can't you pale-faced Devils just be proud to be white and stop trying to be native you are not my people you may have the blood but you would never be a pure blood native. Go take a DNA test you barely have any native blood in you!!!!!
who is saying they are native? I just see people talking about the differnt types of blood they are blessed with. I don't see anybody in here denying their non indian blood. You are a native turd. Your hateful argument has no legs. I'm not saying I am not a parasitic blooded pale face devil. Just saying that one of your ancestors is one of my ancestors.
Well you won't learn it here. He's saying it wrong. This isn't any dialect of Cherokee. Go to Cherokee.org and I believe you can enroll in online language classes
God bless you my native brother I am Native American and I want to know my culture is language I hope you're still making videos I see a lot of these are from four and five years ago you really make it easy to learn God bless you can't wait to learn something new everyday from you
Thank you I am from a Cherokee blood line can you please message me because I would love to know which Cherokee pepole i am from and if there are other pepole from them as well thank you!
Ancestry.com and both the oklahoma Cherokee and Eastern,band have ample resources to help you track down your lineage and figure out which band you are from.
Love the way you are teaching this. My husband and I are learning it together and speaking it to each other one or two words at a time for a week or so then we are going to add one or two more each week. Right now we are starting with I love you more.😁
Sad in 2019 everyone wants to be Cherokee and have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and do not know the true history of the people and events that happened here,or what they really look like,its angers me,its disrespectful of our ancestors, people flock to what pays even if it's a lie!
@@CheebsCheeby awesome! U think this is a fun park? My family hates to see fakes ,frauds, liars,imitate who we really are! Enough damage has been done, everyone wants to be a Indian in 2019 its en vogue today, its disgusting, I listened to a Caucasian woman claim she was a Hopi Indian until she saw the real thing in a original photograph, she almost fainted, she replied They're black,omg,They're black,my Grandmother got something wrong, again alot of goodies come with being a Indian today$$$$$ when 70,80 years ago these same folks wouldn't dare want to be referring to themselves as such!
@@CheebsCheeby you should be embracing this kind of talk,does the truth hurt? You sound like another imposter trying to belong to something that doesn't belong to you by birthright,blood,spirit! Enough damage has been done!
@@adambrooks2297 what about peoole like me whoa grandparents were victims of the boarding schools, they never passed on our language, i'm recognized but we live in Louisiana, how do i learn the tongue to pass it on to my kids if not online resources?
Thank you very much for your time and effort to make learning the Cherokee language as easy as possible, even I could follow along and understand! So you have done very well in my opinion. 😊
Please do not endorse this man. He is not affiliated with any Federally recognized Cherokee tribes. He is not a chief and he is not pronouncing or educating people of the Cherokee language. He should not be praised for he is a fraud and causing issues that continue to plague the Cherokee people.
I am coming as a medium between hatred and kindness, meaning I want to stay neutral as much as possible. People should be allowed to teach a language, even if he isn't federally recognized. Many Native American Languages were lost and replaced by an Englishman's Native American Language. Even if he isn't actually a chief or affiliated with a tribe, if he can teach someone his style of speaking the language, he is doing his part by trying. People like you shouldn't draw a line in the mud and say it is unacceptable, you should be helping him. If he messes up, oh well. Since you're such an expert, help him through corrections. You're statement "He is not a chief and he is not pronouncing or educating people of the Cherokee language" is nothing more than words of a coward. I've grown up in an American family, with English as my only language for years only being sided by French, I've learned that there is no singular form of a constructed language. In English, people speak with there emotions to give meaning to a sentence. Languages adapt and change, even if they are the "original" language. The way a person speaks in their native tongue affects how they learn a new language. In doing so, they have constructed their own language. Thus making every language false. Now, you can debate me about this but unless you make the change to teach, sit down and shut up. Every language has a core, and as long as the core is the principle built off of, it is correct.
Oh thank you for how you are teaching us our people's language. I always wanted to learn. You make it easy i just need to practise more. May God be with you and yours for what you do.
This is really cool that you took the time to do this, even though it’s super old. I’m white, but we’ve traced back my family to distant Cherokee relatives from around the time of the trail of tears. We believe that they ran off to escape and blend in with white people, which is really sad. This is a beautiful language and I’d love to learn even part of it as sort of a way to pay homage to those people from so long ago. Thank you for taking out the time to do this.
Thank you for putting lessons on you tube , been wanting to learn about my Cherokee heritage from my mothers side of the family and to learn our language IS A Start
Mac Pelao Really? I've seen many. Mixed peoples come in all shapes and sizes and with different traits such as eye colors. In Guatemala I've seen blue eyes amongst the native population who are much less mixed than here. Here, native peoples mixed mostly with northern europeans while there (Guate) they mixed mostly with southern europeans. The difference is vast as are the numbers of blue eyed southerners from the US who have native bloodlines. Lots of Scots-Irish-English-German-Native-African mixes here. It's really not farfetched or mythical at all and quite common.
The windhover people that were found in Florida few decades ago, named for the Windover bog that they were found in. Or almost 100% European. And would have been a source for the blue eyes and green eyes that were found amongst the many of the native tribes in the southeastern United States when the white man started coming here in greater numbers after Columbus. Please study history before you run your damn mouth. Sorry to be so abrupt but stupid people piss me off. Let me piss you off just a little bit more. They've actually in the last 5 or 6 years found Hebrew DNA markers in the Algonquin speaking native Americans. Which also includes the Cherokee.
@@johna3153 if what you just posted is taken at face value you are more of a devil than the white man was. There are whites that understand our origin and are not out to Massacre us in any great number. Even Bill Cody quickly learned great respect for the Native American when he started working with them.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel, as a French 20 year old young girl , trying to learn Cherokee language , I'm really happy to discover ressources to learn the language, I wish I could be fluent one day
Dear Chief Moon Wolf of the Thunderbolt Chickamauga Indian Nation, Thank you so much for your free lessons in Cherokee. I just found this today and I will use my new journal to write and take notes, hopefully with your blessings. Sorry my note is not in Cherokee - yet, but I'm grateful that you are apparently a master of both languages and patience! I've tried other learning lessons. Your teaching makes it easier. May GOD bless you and your family abundantly forever. The words in this email are words you are teaching, however I'm a slow learner in some things, but will keep trying. Your lesson make it seem possible for me. Eternally grateful Love, jenny of Texas
I love your way of teaching I think you're a great teacher I am part of the Cherokee tribe and wanted to learn more about the language you helped me a lot thank you
Thank you very well done much appreciate you 🪶my grandmother was Cherokee and would try teach me ,I was young while I loved her stories learning the herbs ways of the Cherokee .I never learned the language, thank you for this opportunity to keep this. Beautiful language it’s good medicine 🪶🦅🪶
I really appreciate your lessons I'm African american and Native American bloodline Cherokee, my grandmother, grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and our features are strong my grandmother, grandmother and her people comes from Oklahoma, so now I'm doing my paperwork the Cherokee Nation from Oklahoma just sent me. God bless you for teaching the Language
Lisa Craig it's not correct, he is teaching everyone wrong. It's been pointed out multiple times so now he says its eastern dialect. But it's not, it looks like he is reading it from a lesson book but he is saying everything wrong.
My Older Sister and I were always told since we were a small children That we was 1/32nd Cherokee. To me at the time it was just a cool thing to know about myself but never paid much attention to it or mentioned it to anybody my whole life. I very much respect the Native Americans culture and ties in to my morals and spiritual beliefs as well. My sister received her Native American Card proving she is 1/32 Cherokee (which means I am as well). I am pleased with this because I love history and knowing that I have Cherokee ancestry makes me proud to be a part of such strong passionate people. Now I want to learn everything I can about the Cherokee people so I can pass on knowledge to others so these amazing people are not forgotten. I'm 43 years old and retired four years ago so I have plenty of time to research. Thank you for your videos Chief Moon Wolf they are very appreciated.
I found your channel by luck. Thank you for sharing my grandparents. Grandfather is Lakota and my grandmother is Cherokee. Thank you for sharing my grandparents and I am going to start studying your lessons.
Trying to teach my 2 year old her native language. Unfortunately there are close to no options to do this, i appreciate this video so much! She is primarily wialakki and mixture of other tribes including Cherokee. I would love for her to embrace her culture and learn with her. 🤍 thank you for your time to spread your knowledge!
i love your teaching your very helpful a lot better then trying to learn from the fast past I can understand you a lot better pls keep doing these great videos I want to learn my native toung thank you so very much
+Thunderbolt Tsikamagi NationHello there! I very much appreciate your video. Its hard to find pronunciation videos. I have been told I have Cherokee Indian from my mother's side but there is little documentation. I wonder, is there any way to find my way back to the tribe or Cherokee nation or receive a Cherokee name and claim my heritage? Thank you
Thanks for all that you do! I just found your videos a few weeks ago and I love your teaching style. Will you be adding to your collection of videos for the eastern band dialect?
Thank you Chief Moon Wolf. I've been studying the video's every day and I've learned a lot from you. Please continue making the video's . I want to learn as much as I can so I can help pass the language on . Thank you again.
Thank you so very much my brother!!! My name is Brandon and I'm from Johnson city TN!!!!! I really appreciate your video!!! I've been wanting to learn some of my native tongue
I am trying to learn as much as I can about my Cherokee heritage as I was not allowed to learn about any of it as a child and your videos help me a lot and the language seems to come so easily to me, hopefully I'll be able to teach my little girl
Thank you. I worked on learning Cherokee when my kids were young. I lost my book and tapes. This is very easy for me to do with these videos. Thank you.
Wado My Brother from another mother ! May you continue to educate us uneducated brothers and sisters !! Seesha will bless you abundantly for this education Brother !
Thanks you my mother my great-great my mother's people where Cherokee were Osage Cherokee so thank you very much for teaching this language I deeply appreciate I don't know how to speak it just yet very good but I am going to keep studying and I hope to see more of your videos online thank you very much I appreciate it I am 1/4 Cherokee Indian myself thank you very much have a nice day
Thank you much for these lessons Sir. I just retired and I'm looking for something interesting to learn. I have a Cherokee ancestor whose was called Goldenhawk Sizemore who lived in E. Kentucky. Not sure if he was 100%. My grandmother could remember his daughter and swore she was a full-blooded Cherokee. In any case, I'd like to think I have a little Cherokee in me.
George "Chief Of All" Sizemore and Aggie Cornett are my 6th Great Grandparents. Goldenhawk was their son. I am from eastern ky also. Jain patton sizemore was "Gulden's" or "Goldenhawk's" daughter who was from Hawkins Co. Tn. They say George "All" Sizemores mother was Creek and Cherokee mix and father fullblooded. They listed (George's 52 children) as either melungeon/mulatto/african on a few census. Joe, some of our relatives are a part of the Eastern Cherokee Whitetop Laurel Band in northeast tenn. That side of the family was split up back then, our fairer skinned folks identified as white and the copper color darker skin were marked as negro or black in the census. My family was listed as black. I've traced our family back to the 1700s on Georges paternal side to Rachel Hart (born in cherokee nation North Carolina) and George Sizemore to North Carolina also but he was kidnapped and raised by Sizemores and listed as being born in Halifax VA, the same with Aggy (Agnes Cornett) whos parents are William Shepherd and Elizabeth Haynes. If you have any questions or would like to have this info, feel free to ask or email me at 606lord@ gmail. Donadagohvi🤝
i came to learn my native language and you put it out straight forward it has helped me able to pronounce our language adassligi utsati brother you have a new sub
Thank you for posting this. I'm so glad I found you Sir. My mom is registered Cherokee with the Northern tribe. We children never registered. But I feel pride in my Cherokee people. I pray God blesses you. I hope I can learn this. Lol. It's hard.

Thank you so much..my great grandparents were both Cherokee and I dearly miss them teaching me the language..they passed away to soon to finish teaching me..as I grew older I found I had lost most of what I learned..I trust you will continue their endeavour..so thank you.
PUT IT ON DUOLINGO
Yes!
Same toughts.
yes!
@Rule Britannia yes lls do. Thx
Who liked what i said?????
I’m full Cherokee so when I learned about it, I wanted to learn my language
Im black cherokee indian
@@abdulmateem2982 Cherokee is Indian
im a 16th cherokee indian, my great grandmother was full
Post that card cuzzzz
@@cloudyskies2729 yes he know. The reason why there are a lot of black people claim that their half Indian is because some of the native Americans are slave owners and when it comes to the slaves (black people) they tend to breed with them and there’s terms to describe biracial blacks at the time of slavery words like Sambo, mulatto etc etc. so it would make sense when it comes to the time of their near extinction due to tribalism. Which that’s the sad part of reality 😔
I am glad that Chief Moon Wolf has taken the time, in order to do these lessons. Although, I am a part of the Western band of Cherokee's, I have noticed, that Chief Moon Wolf makes it easier for me, to follow along, to learn how to speak the pre- removal dialect. Which, I would agree is smoother to speak, as I see Chief Moon Wolf's point, that the Western dialect comes across to me as choppy! I also find that many of the presentation can be different to follow along with! Again, I like the fact that there is a version of Cherokee language dialect, I can listen to, and work at learning to speak! Moreover, it has always been something, that I truly wanted to do, since I was a child, and even though, I wouldn't say by any means a master, however, I at least feel like I can follow along, and speak it as well as I am able too!
With no disrespect to those trying to teach the Western band version, of the Cherokee language, this version is less complicated to me, in which, I can wrap my mind around learning to speak a language, that is a part of my heritage as a Cherokee citizen! S'gi Cheif Moon Wolf!
Thank you for you comments. I am glad that you enjoy the lessons
It is indeed crazy. We have to be diligent in preserving our cultural languages. None of them should be lost. My Irish ancestors were beaten for simply speaking their native language. Oppressors will always tried to take away weapons and heritage.
Oh jeez!, Once immigrants came to this country they all just wanted so badly to fit in that they willingly gave up their heritages and didn't teach the children the old ways. Nor did they want their own to exhibit the old ways because in this country because back then if you didn't fit in you were ostracized. What a screwed up mess this country still is. I love seeing the differences and the similarities between cultures. The Native Americans use a drum that is so similar to the Bodhran but get totally different music from it. It's awesome. Native Americans, Irish, and African Americans frequently intermarried because they were all treated like garbage by the WASPS so they all hung together. The Chinese were treated like dirt too. It was the Irish from the East Coast and the Chinese from the West Coast that build American's railroads.
Me too
Have you been to the heritage center in Tahlequa? They have books and cds
Wado for making these videos. I have roots in the Tsikamagi. I am a firm believer that when we loose our languages we loose a part of ourselves. With your videos I feel like I am learning a new part of my heritage. Wado and adassligi utsati.
Thank you Chief Moon Wolf for your very interesting and well executed lessons. Your pronunciation is extremely clear and easy to catch on to. My family is from Murphy, Cherokee County, North Carolina. I was born in Los Angeles California and grew up there and Oregon from the fifth grade on. we found many obsidian indian arrowheads on our property. I wasn't thinking of learning to speek Cherokee but after seeing how easy you make it to sound and how I found I was able to replicate the intricate vocal inflections of the language I felt interested in pursuing it. your a good teacher. Very important work. Thank you.😊
so thrilled. learned enough from you so far to sing amazing grace in cherokee on a karaoke app. now to learn words. writing all these down
Thanku sir for your knowledge. I'm looking forward to learning my grandmother's language. I look forward to more lessens.
I am so happy I found this. I just found my grandfather on the Dawes Roll. Excited to connect with my Ancestors and culture so I may preserve and pass it on. My Ancestors walked the Trail.
I appreciate your videos, I'll be watching them. So far I'm impressed at your teaching ability.
Sgi
You're a wonderful teacher. I am very grateful to be able to learn Cherokee! Thank you so much for these free classes. They are amazing
I am Cherokee/Black, and I am interested in learning how to speak this beautiful Language💖
I am part white and part Native American my grandma was full blooded Cherokee and my grandpa was part black foot and part Cheyenne (sorry if I misspelled it) on my father's side and I always wanted to learn the Cherokee language and embrace my heritage... thank you so very much for taking the time to share the wisdom and showing us how to speak the language... I'm so humbled and can't wait to see more videos... once again thank you
Wow this is incredible. I've studied phonetics & that sound you make at 2:46 (Tli) is actually what's called "lateral s" ie, the air flows off the sides of your tongue instead of out through the middle. The way you can make this sound (sort of) is to get ready to make the sound "l" (like at the beginning of the word "like") but do it without making a sound. A "silent" or whispered "l". That's the lateral s. The word "Tli" sounds like it begins with that sound, except it has a little more of a "t" sound at the beginning.
Thank you so much for posting this!
You are welcome and thank you for your comments
Awesome!!! I am Egyptian and I am so excited to learn about the Cherokee language ! Thank you for taking the time to provide me with this wonderful opportunity!
Right now im trying to learn how to speak my native language, cherokee. This guide is helping me in my travels. Thank you
Thank you so much for doing these lessons. I was adopted from foster care when I was 6 and recently learned that my biological family was from the Eastern Cherokee branch. I’ve longed to learn the language and more about my heritage but struggled to find accurate information that’s specific to my ancestry. I look forward to more videos and any more information I can get. Thank you again for making these videos so easy to learn from.
Did you get your federal card?
My great grandmother was Cherokee, thank you for sharing and helping to teach the language. Through this effort, you help preserve your heritage. Thank you.
John Nokosi my great grandmother was 100% cherokee. And while I am mixed with Irish and my skin is white, I know about my native American heritage, and I couldn't agree with you more
@@cosmic-lagoon3269 im mix with black white Cherokee and others im learning about my heritage so yea
OK read some very critical comments Here. Found them disrespectful and quite shameful. The Native American Languages were stolen and outlawed by the white man. Many Natives were robbed of their heritage and so much more. It is a Miricale that some have survived and passed down the language. For that I am beyond greatful . Some say tomato some say tomatoe some say pattatoe. some say potato. The important thing is to keep the language alive. As in the war code talkers were the secret to winning WWII. It will again someday be needed. To critize any Native American who is offering to help on his own free time at no charge is to be of the highest regard and respected even more so as a Chief. Please do not critize this great Native American Man. In a prior comment I stated I would not comment further until I could do so in Native tounge. Meant that with all my heart. Yet can not stand by and say nothing as you critize my ancestor's off spring. Even though I never met or know him personally. So please just be glad he is helping those of us who's ancestors has lost the language and now so many of us seek for the greater good of us all.
Thank You,

Thank You
it's sad that people want to talk down about others and don't know what they are talking about it don't matter if they have blue eyes or brown it don't matter if they are pale god never said we all would be the same my great grandmother mother was full blooded Cherokee and my grandmother was half and my mom is a quarter if you get out in the sun yes you are going to be dark but if you avoid the sun you are not going to be dark I love the Beautiful Cherokee language and I'm blessed to learn it and understand it and if my great grandmother was here she would be pleased to know that I am learning it you learn about your family and where you are from you learn alot about your self if your are down on your self you are down on your family and accept who you are and move on we didn't choose who we are god did I'm blessed have Cherokee running through my vains
It's shameful people have to criticize this man. I am grateful that he took time to make these videos. Not being a Native American I am interested in learning about languages and cultures..
Sun Dancer:
Thank you. Many hearts, for many moons, have yearned for this to be. Chief Moon Wolf, much gratitude, praise and respect for your selflessness.
I fully agree...we will not tolerate ANY disrespect nor degradation to the native tribes nor our ancestors.we did not ask you here...you came and took our lands...our lives and our heritage.so you must learn respect as you seem to want respect in return...you must earn it yet you chose to degrade rather than respect.
great work, Chief. even though I am Italian and have nothing to do with Cherokee heritage I really appreciate the effort of keeping such wonderful but endangered languages alive. language is culture and culture is wealth.
Thank you for the lesson! I will be back to further my knowledge of my native tongue.
As a member of the EBCI.... Just wanted to say thanks for this but I still have no clue who you are....
Thank You Chief Moon. This was fun & interesting. I was raised off the reservation & was glad to learn my language.
The Thunderbolt Tsikamagi Nation never signed a treaty with the feds and is originally from Kentucky, TN, GA and AL. It is comprised of a diverse background of other tribes. It is similar to the Florida Seminole tribe which never signed a treaty with the feds. and is comprise of other tribes, so don't disrespect someone whose history you have not researched. Plus, snubbing other tribal nations because the feds do not recognize them is letting them cont. to control your life based on their laws and here I am speaking with other Native Americans.
You are right. The federal government has been corrupt and have separated the tribes throughout generations to keep everyone easy to control. Beautiful choice of words!
My boyfriend is Seminole (Oklahoma) and recognized, and there is a reservation in Florida for other Seminole people.
waya unega ,, You are correct my friend. Most,,, All my family that remained in the east signed NOTHING! peace brother!
More bullshit from White folks that can't prove they are Tsalagi. Just like Elizabeth Warren.
Hell's a poppin Photographs say a lot. If a person looks black, they're black. If they look Native American, you can bet they're Native American. Names too: like having "Tizah-neh" for a middle name. And if all the descendants from so-and-so have insisted that they're Shawnee, for a couple hundred years, you can bet they are. My husband has ancestors who are Cherokee, Shawnee, Creek and Catawba. Some cousins are on Creek, Catawba and Cherokee rolls, but my husband's direct line did not. I've been trying to track down my husband's Native American ancestors for a long time and finally found a bunch this past year. I have Native American blood through my dad and (supposedly) some through my mom. A cousin has the records, but I don't know which cousin, so I feel like I don't have the right to say that I have Lakota blood (which is what has been handed down). In short, my husband and I don't want government benefits. I just want to pass on all our family stories and heritage. I want to help preserve our ancestors' languages so they are not lost.
Thank you so much Chief Moon Wolf! My mother taught us much about our people but sadly, she was not taught our language and could not teach it to me. We've both wanted to learn Cherokee to many years and finding your videos has made me so happy! Now we can both learn Cherokee and I can't wait to show her this.
Thanks so much! I liked !
Iam Brazilian woman, and I loved anceters culture!
Tkank you
I luv the lessons Dear Chief Moon Wolf. I am a Catalpa of the Wolf Clan Ancestry. My family was a leftover remnant that Married into and took English names in order to stay on their homeland during the terrible trail times. The Language was lost to us. I'm glad to find it and hope to learn all I can. I plan to teach it to my Grandchildren. THANK YOU DEAR SIR,, Your work is appreciated here in TN!!
Your lessons are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of the Cherokee language with the rest of the world! Adassligi utsati ^.^
A"Ho! You are wonderful. I found someone else teaching Cherokee. He's absolutely wonderful, but you "dumb it down*THANK YOU! Lol I'm"self taught"because I lost my teacher, my actual mother. I have a beautiful book on Beginning Cherokee, but you keep it simple to where I can understand it. I'm Medicine and you're taking the language and teaching the ones who want to carry on the legacy of our people to our sons and daughters, then our grand children. Thank you.
Thanks A lot. I'm Black/Cherokee/Blackfoot native, so I'm interested in learning more about the language, clothing, culture etc.
C4 Major look up the treaty of 1866.
Wow really!!!!! What is up with you Europeans and you Africans continuously trying play native?! If you look duck and crack like a duck b**** you are a duck if you get my point.
+John Nokosi My grandmother was Cheokee married one of her family's slaves and was abandoned I speak my language and Pow wow Dance
That statement didn't apply to all biracial or mixed Native American!!!! The one's who this apply to know who they are!!! So please let's not play the dumb game.
How are you the one that determines that? Do you know this person's ancestry? It sounds like you think you can tell a native by how they look and that's what the white folks have always said.
I am 4th generation Cherokee on my mother side and my grate grand MOTHER moved to Philadelphia and NEVER taught us the language... smh...im so happy you are sharing this 😙😙😙😙😙😙😙
Chief Moon Wolf, I would like to express my gratitude to you for sharing this sacred knowledge. I am so excited to continue watching all of the videos you have posted!
Thank you! A'ho!
Chief moon wolf, i have a few questians. Are u really a chief? Thx for posting this video . I really want to leadn this stuff.
Me too. Wado.
Same Chief moon wolf !
Thank you Chief! I've been on a journey to reconnect with my culture so i can pass down to my future children. Thank you for giving me a stepping stone.
luv this. want to learn to sing in cherokee
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us with the Cherokee language. Even though I’m as white as can be I have a soft spot in my heart for all natives and respect for their culture as well. Yesterday, I got to go to my first pow wow and was totally amazed at the love and reverence for all past ancestors and it’s culture but amazed that through everything that has been done to them they pay homage to this country and it’s veterans. I danced for the first time and was made to feel loved and respected in song and dance. What a wonderful feeling it was. My only wish was that I had native ancestry or by some stroke of luck I was adopted into their family. My heart led me to speak on this and show my respect..thank you!!
This might be a dumb question but I've recently sort of taken an interest in Natives, Were most of the tribe languages similar? Like could a Cherokee person and Chickasaw person understand each other, or are they totally different?
Not a dumb question at all! If you think it, you can be certain someone else does too. You're just the only one brave enough to ask!
littlebit080780. Nope. Even w/the cherokee language, there's eastern band and western band. They're different. Listen to the beginning of this lesson 1.
Thank you for this clear and well organized basic course on pronunciation. Cherokee sounds a lot softer than I anticipated.
A few years ago my wife after many years of research managed to find her American grandfather who was a GI of the US occupation forces in Austria when my mother in law "happened".
To my delight we found that my wife - and my children - are direct descendants of Lucy Bearpaw Proctor who is a well documented victim of the trail of tears.
A number of the ancestors of my wife are documented with their native names, so it is our aim to learn how to say them properly.
I have a Cherokee language book. It says the word for 'my home' is 'a que nv sv'
Can you please make a video showing how to pronounce that? I'm want to know how to say 'home' or 'my home'
ah kway nuh suh those last two like Pink when she says "check my flow onh" except it's a U sound like "but" and nasalized
I was surprised how different eastern and western dialects are. I'm a western speaker. I'm glad people like you are making an effort to help preserve our language. Wado.
Is it true that the Cherokee language makes no distinction between "wolf" and "coyote"? I've seen both rendered as "Wa-ya". If so, that's perfectly consistent with recent genomic studies, which demonstrate that the two animals are basically just subspecies of the same species.
So far your lessons have been the easiest for me to fallow thank you
thank you so much for breaking down the sounds I have dyslexia and phonetically spelling helps me out a lot My great,great grandmother was full Cherokee on my dads side and on my mom is Irish and Celtic. I have taught my self to sing amazing grace now I want to go feather with this .. Kentucky where my dad was born
I'm also a dyslexic. and I'm a realities of sequoia on his father's side. I love that he made the language so easy to read and write.
Wow really! What is up with you Europeans and you Africans continuously trying to play native you are not native you got your own culture be proud of it. Stop trying to be something you are not you barely have native blood in you! You people who like to play native how about you go take a DNA test and find out how Native you truly are!

Chief Moon Wolf:
Thank you for setting up and posting these Cherokee language videos. Your breakdown, enunciation and English cross references really help retention. We're just beginning, my grandson and I.
Thank you so much for posting this! Do you know how to pronounce the names Ahyoka and Hialeah?
ah-yo-kah hi-ah-lee-ah
Tater Nuts ...u couldn't figure that out??
I've always enjoy old Indian stories and always felt freed when I heard them and had a passion for the Indian dances. Little did I know I was part cherokee. my grandfather was full blooded cherokee I was took from my family pretty much at birth and never told however when I met my biological mother she told me deep down I already knew. I really enjoyed the video and the few people that care to keep Indian traditions alive. I wish I was born back in the days where I could see the dance and learn the ways. thank you for the video I really enjoyed it.
Why can't you pale-faced Devils just be proud to be white and stop trying to be native you are not my people you may have the blood but you would never be a pure blood native. Go take a DNA test you barely have any native blood in you!!!!!
who is saying they are native? I just see people talking about the differnt types of blood they are blessed with. I don't see anybody in here denying their non indian blood. You are a native turd. Your hateful argument has no legs. I'm not saying I am not a parasitic blooded pale face devil. Just saying that one of your ancestors is one of my ancestors.
I'm British but have Cherokee heritage that moved to the UK. Love to learn more about my family's culture
JamesTavRule
Well you won't learn it here. He's saying it wrong. This isn't any dialect of Cherokee.
Go to Cherokee.org and I believe you can enroll in online language classes
I just found these Videos on Cherokee Language. And of all I've seen & heard this is easiest to follow, and speak. THANK YOU!

Sad in 2019 everyone wants to be Cherokee and have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and do not know the true history of the people and events that happened here,or what they really look like,its angers me,its disrespectful of our ancestors, people flock to what pays even if it's a lie!

Please do not endorse this man. He is not affiliated with any Federally recognized Cherokee tribes. He is not a chief and he is not pronouncing or educating people of the Cherokee language. He should not be praised for he is a fraud and causing issues that continue to plague the Cherokee people.
Darth Poet. Go to Cherokee.org and they have free online classes they offer every so often.
Cool off mind your business let ppl live their life and live yours the way you want
Being federally recognized is not a good thing no disrespect but,you're still under the jurisdiction of a foreign pale people
I am coming as a medium between hatred and kindness, meaning I want to stay neutral as much as possible. People should be allowed to teach a language, even if he isn't federally recognized. Many Native American Languages were lost and replaced by an Englishman's Native American Language. Even if he isn't actually a chief or affiliated with a tribe, if he can teach someone his style of speaking the language, he is doing his part by trying. People like you shouldn't draw a line in the mud and say it is unacceptable, you should be helping him. If he messes up, oh well. Since you're such an expert, help him through corrections. You're statement "He is not a chief and he is not pronouncing or educating people of the Cherokee language" is nothing more than words of a coward. I've grown up in an American family, with English as my only language for years only being sided by French, I've learned that there is no singular form of a constructed language. In English, people speak with there emotions to give meaning to a sentence. Languages adapt and change, even if they are the "original" language. The way a person speaks in their native tongue affects how they learn a new language. In doing so, they have constructed their own language. Thus making every language false. Now, you can debate me about this but unless you make the change to teach, sit down and shut up. Every language has a core, and as long as the core is the principle built off of, it is correct.
@@peterrose1638 *ALL WORDS ARE MADE UP*
Oh thank you for how you are teaching us our people's language. I always wanted to learn. You make it easy i just need to practise more. May God be with you and yours for what you do.
Who's the white guy with the wig?
your mom
This is really cool that you took the time to do this, even though it’s super old. I’m white, but we’ve traced back my family to distant Cherokee relatives from around the time of the trail of tears. We believe that they ran off to escape and blend in with white people, which is really sad. This is a beautiful language and I’d love to learn even part of it as sort of a way to pay homage to those people from so long ago. Thank you for taking out the time to do this.
You look like that hunter from My Babysitter's a Vampire
Yeah!you can see DEATH in his eyes. 👀👹🧟♂️☠
Bruh, I forgot about that.
Bro that used to be my show
Thank you for putting lessons on you tube , been wanting to learn about my Cherokee heritage from my mothers side of the family and to learn our language IS A Start
never seen an indian with blue eyes lol
Mac Pelao Really? I've seen many. Mixed peoples come in all shapes and sizes and with different traits such as eye colors. In Guatemala I've seen blue eyes amongst the native population who are much less mixed than here. Here, native peoples mixed mostly with northern europeans while there (Guate) they mixed mostly with southern europeans. The difference is vast as are the numbers of blue eyed southerners from the US who have native bloodlines. Lots of Scots-Irish-English-German-Native-African mixes here. It's really not farfetched or mythical at all and quite common.
there are Asians with blue eyes, even African with blue or green eyes. smh....
The windhover people that were found in Florida few decades ago, named for the Windover bog that they were found in. Or almost 100% European. And would have been a source for the blue eyes and green eyes that were found amongst the many of the native tribes in the southeastern United States when the white man started coming here in greater numbers after Columbus. Please study history before you run your damn mouth. Sorry to be so abrupt but stupid people piss me off. Let me piss you off just a little bit more. They've actually in the last 5 or 6 years found Hebrew DNA markers in the Algonquin speaking native Americans. Which also includes the Cherokee.
Most had blue eyes and some had blond hair before small pox wiped the matieb 150 all that sevied my grandfather was full Cherokee
@@johna3153 if what you just posted is taken at face value you are more of a devil than the white man was. There are whites that understand our origin and are not out to Massacre us in any great number. Even Bill Cody quickly learned great respect for the Native American when he started working with them.
I'm so glad I discovered your channel, as a French 20 year old young girl , trying to learn Cherokee language , I'm really happy to discover ressources to learn the language, I wish I could be fluent one day
I think I have apache in me 🤔 my grandpa always talked about his mother being native American
Dear Chief Moon Wolf of the Thunderbolt Chickamauga Indian Nation,
Thank you so much for your free lessons in Cherokee. I just found this today and I will use my new journal to write and take notes, hopefully with your blessings.
Sorry my note is not in Cherokee - yet, but I'm grateful that you are apparently a master of both languages and patience! I've tried other learning lessons. Your teaching makes it easier. May GOD bless you and your family abundantly forever. The words in this email are words you are teaching, however I'm a slow learner in some things, but will keep trying. Your lesson make it seem possible for me.
Eternally grateful
Love, jenny of Texas
I am mohawk

Thank you very well done much appreciate you 🪶my grandmother was Cherokee and would try teach me ,I was young while I loved her stories learning the herbs ways of the Cherokee .I never learned the language, thank you for this opportunity to keep this. Beautiful language it’s good medicine 🪶🦅🪶
I really appreciate your lessons I'm African american and Native American bloodline Cherokee, my grandmother, grandmother was full blooded Cherokee and our features are strong my grandmother, grandmother and her people comes from Oklahoma, so now I'm doing my paperwork the Cherokee Nation from Oklahoma just sent me. God bless you for teaching the Language
Lisa Craig it's not correct, he is teaching everyone wrong. It's been pointed out multiple times so now he says its eastern dialect. But it's not, it looks like he is reading it from a lesson book but he is saying everything wrong.
I am not Cherokee but I would love to learn the language.
Thank you for posting your teachings.
My Older Sister and I were always told since we were a small children That we was 1/32nd Cherokee. To me at the time it was just a cool thing to know about myself but never paid much attention to it or mentioned it to anybody my whole life. I very much respect the Native Americans culture and ties in to my morals and spiritual beliefs as well. My sister received her Native American Card proving she is 1/32 Cherokee (which means I am as well). I am pleased with this because I love history and knowing that I have Cherokee ancestry makes me proud to be a part of such strong passionate people. Now I want to learn everything I can about the Cherokee people so I can pass on knowledge to others so these amazing people are not forgotten. I'm 43 years old and retired four years ago so I have plenty of time to research. Thank you for your videos Chief Moon Wolf they are very appreciated.
I found your channel by luck. Thank you for sharing my grandparents. Grandfather is Lakota and my grandmother is Cherokee. Thank you for sharing my grandparents and I am going to start studying your lessons.

Thank you much for these lessons Sir. I just retired and I'm looking for something interesting to learn. I have a Cherokee ancestor whose was called Goldenhawk Sizemore who lived in E. Kentucky. Not sure if he was 100%. My grandmother could remember his daughter and swore she was a full-blooded Cherokee. In any case, I'd like to think I have a little Cherokee in me.
George "Chief Of All" Sizemore and Aggie Cornett are my 6th Great Grandparents. Goldenhawk was their son. I am from eastern ky also. Jain patton sizemore was "Gulden's" or "Goldenhawk's" daughter who was from Hawkins Co. Tn. They say George "All" Sizemores mother was Creek and Cherokee mix and father fullblooded. They listed (George's 52 children) as either melungeon/mulatto/african on a few census. Joe, some of our relatives are a part of the Eastern Cherokee Whitetop Laurel Band in northeast tenn. That side of the family was split up back then, our fairer skinned folks identified as white and the copper color darker skin were marked as negro or black in the census. My family was listed as black. I've traced our family back to the 1700s on Georges paternal side to Rachel Hart (born in cherokee nation North Carolina) and George Sizemore to North Carolina also but he was kidnapped and raised by Sizemores and listed as being born in Halifax VA, the same with Aggy (Agnes Cornett) whos parents are William Shepherd and Elizabeth Haynes. If you have any questions or would like to have this info, feel free to ask or email me at 606lord@ gmail.
