protect this child rights to be raised by her people. INDIAN!-Raised white-There is a part of you that never Belongs..

I am White Cherokee raised as white in a white community. Once word got out I was Cherokee, I was ,Shunned bullied, a apart of nothing 4th grade through 12th. Kids would have been my friend, but parents forbid it.. I'm 75 & still have a whole in my heart, not being apart of my people. My grandparents did well in covering their path.1870-1889. My husband is also white Cherokee Choctaw, raised white, still, until his death last year, he too long to be with his people. YOU DO GREAT HARM TO ONE BORNED CHEROKEE, THEN RAISED BY WHITE. YOU JUST DON'T BELONG AND YOU KNOW IT There is something inside you, you can not explain it but it finds you in tears when certain news story,etc come up. DON"T CONDEMN THIS CHILD TO THIS KIND OF LIFE.. HAVE MERCY ON HER FUTURE LIFE! I pray you find wisdom
