Surely all you have to do to be a part of a tribe is to get born and brought up into that culture.
Isn't saying she isn't a Cherokee is no different from saying that Blacks are not Americans but Africans and That whites are not Americans but Europeans? "Cherokee" is not a racial type as far as I Know.
Its like arguing about wether I am an Anglosaxon or a Roman.

Hmmm.
English, British, Welsh, Dutch, Norman, Roman, Anglosaxon, Viking....Probably all of these.
If you think about it, "most" people have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grand parents, 16... If you carry on not too far at some point your number of Ancestors will exceed the Human population of the Earth at that time...

I propose an advanced democratic solution, every candidate should be implanted with a lie detecting device, that silences anything untruthful said by that candidate. Then we could all carry on as usual, not listening to what they are actually or really saying, but only being influenced by the fact that they actually managed to get heard at all.
