For instance, I have a full-blooded Cherokee ancestor 9 generations back. Personally I'd say that's too far to consider myself Cherokee. But that got me thinking. How far back "counts"? Is it totally up to the person? Should some white guy claim he's part of the Cherokee Nation just cause he has an ancestor?
