[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8:18 here -- It's not really relevant that Veronica is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, according to the Supreme Court.  But to the poster who is concerned about Veronica's self-identification as an adult, she is welcome to self-identify as white, hispanic, Cherokee, or anything.  To be a CITIZEN of the Cherokee Nation, which includes certain benefits (monetary, etc.), then you need to qualify, which she does.

What more information do you need, PP?[/quote]

The question is, to what degree does Veronica get to choose her own citizenship of the Cherokee Nation? I don't think anyone's debating whether or not she "qualifies," but the extent to which other people are making lifelong decisions for her and about her.[/quote]She will ultimately make the decision if she wants to be "officially" on the Cherokee Nation roles.  But it does not change who she is.  I can live in a 100% white community and be the only Hispanic but I'm still Hispanic.  I can call myself white by choice but I'm still Hispanic, look Hispanic, and defined by you (generally speaking) as Hispanic.

No matter how you color it (pun intended), I'm still Hispanic but an American citizen.[/quote]
