I only read a thread you wrote about mulatto and mixed. I am a Bryant who many years ago lived in crewal situations. I am Cherokee desent. Check Cherokeelink@ Cherokee.org . You can learn Native american ledgens and history. The tribe I came from was Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia. Also there are books on Cherokee's That tell the storys on the slavory, and how the had too hide in caves from the English. These books are in all libraries. But for me I lived alot of the abuse. My Father also had told me why it was hard to locate family members as our selves who movied around and never stayed in one place, till it was time for our passing, then most found their way back home. My Grandfather was Marion Bryant Born 1895 in Hasard,Perry, Kentuoky, and Barren Fork, Pulaski, Kentucky. Wife was Ester Tipton , of Fentress Jamestown, Tennessee. as I grew I lived in every State except Alaska and Hawii. I guess if they had beeb connected to the main land I'd have lived there also. Did you know here in Louisiana, Native Americans were still stone as close as 1976 in some towns,South of New Orleans. Here they hid in the shell pits. Many tribes, Choctaw, Cherokee, Houma. They tried to claim the Houma no longer Exsist, believe me they do. And they are fighting to let the goverment know. They to have many Mulatto in their Tribe.A couple of months ago they tried to x out the Cherokee's.Native American's are screaming we are here don't try to crush us . Our history is as near as your computer or the library. This and I AM A BRYANT and proud of it......
