i really will never forget or forgive the tma fanon consignment of the entire concept of avatars to the hellish fires of the 'perfect victim/irredeemable abuser' dichotomy. i cannot even begin to understand how you could listen to five seasons of the podcast about how living and working within corrupt systems and institutions will lead you to face difficult, sometimes even seemingly impossible, choices where there are no good outcomes, no conclusions where everyone gets a happy ending and nobody has to suffer for it, but nonetheless both those choices and the consequences of those choices still matter, in fact if anything they matter even more in a world like that, and ultimately no one is exempt from having to make decisions that will affect them and the people around them and seriously consider those consequences, and come away from that thinking 'okay so these are the Good Guys Who Did Nothing Wrong Ever and these are the Bad Guys Who Ruined Everything And If We Just Get Rid Of All These Bad People Everything Will Be Okay.'

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.
People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.
And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.
If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.
