| Soccer_Dad- it's not that i don't have any interest in tribal membership. I just don't think it's right to say I'm not considered NA unless I'm an official member. All my life, I've considered myself a member, and then all of the sudden I'm not a member just yet, and so I'm not supposed to put on my application that I'm NA? that's bull. (btw, I have a few friends who are adults who are 100% Cherokee and do not have official affiliation, though many of them do.)
natew6338- I certainly could reigster. I am not an adult (i'm applying to colleges now). My registration would be "pending" if I were to do so now, anyway, which some say seems shady on the application. Some of the organizations/events have been inter-tribal, but a few are not (Cherokee only).
ErlindaP- thanks for that. I might just include it, but I'm not sure I want to go on not knowing whether I got in because of my ethnicity or because of my merits. |
