Zoran posted:it is extremely common for white families in the US to claim that some distant ancestor was a Native American, and for them to tell their kids so at an age when they’ll completely believe it Yep. There are basically two types of white North American families, the ones that trace their lineage directly back to Ireland or Italy or whatever in the late 19th/early 20th century, or the ones that trace their lineage back to a point earlier than that and there is inevitably in those family lores some great-great-great who had an Indian wife and yeah it’s always the woman who was indigenous

It seemed to be specifically my Minnesotan family side. My TN/MS family side never gave two shits about it. They seemed pretty proud about their place in history * side eyes *

But also some amount of them are true because it absolutely happened, and some amount of them are just weird family lore mythologies, but even where the family lore is true the later generations were so effectively assimilated that claims of my great-great-great-grandmother was Chippewa don’t really hold much weight or any weight

keep typing up cringey ranting posts about white americans but i'll just settle on dropping the phrase "irish slavery" and let people who know anything about anything ruminate on the implications of that bullshit EDIT: just to be clear, the type of american who says this phrase is more likely descended from a very specific group of scottish people than actual irish people stumblebum has issued a correction as of 05:50 on May 12, 2024 |

Most of my family came from German squareheads that immigrated in the 1880's/1890's, so this kind of family history is completely alien. HashtagGirlboss posted:Yep.

my bony fealty posted:both my partner and I have family stories of the native American wife in the family and my Texan side of the family had a Cherokee princess too lol there sure were a lot of Cherokee princesses When I was reading the account of Bill Smothers, who lived back in the turn of the 19th Century, he mentioned as a kid knowing two peers who were half-indigenous and their mother was, supposedly, a princess. What's interesting is that Smothers hated Native Americans, to the point of it kind of defining his personality, because his father had been killed by them, but didn't have a problem with his half-indigenous friends because, well, they came from royalty, not savages. Which is probably why a lot of families claimed royalty, it seemed to be the only cover in that society that disinvited murderous rage.

One thing I've noticed as well is that getting really into the geneneology of your family is something a LOT of middle class retirees do. Kids moved out long ago, you're feeling listless and purposeless, you don't have poo poo to do but putter around an empty house and dig through old records. Figuring out some interesting piece of your family history becomes part of your reason for getting up in the morning, because theres nothing much else to do.
