Oh, I'm a funny one here.  I'm about 3/8 Cherokee.
I'm also Scottish, Irish, Spanish, English, French,
German, and Dutch.  I have dark brown hair, very dark
brown almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, a long
torso, and fair skin.  My brother has dark blond hair,
hazel eyes, a more European build, and tan skin.  Now,
which of us is taken to be Native American?

I have one friend who grew up on the Cherokee
reservation in Oklahoma.  He has somewhat fair skin,
medium brown hair with blond highlights, and blue
eyes.

Always distinguish between ethnotypes and stereotypes.
