How do you find out if you are a Native American Indian you are of Cherokee descendant?

Answer 1

Cherokee names are often family names (clan names) where a characteristic is named and the last name would be the name of your clan (you would have to consult the clan elder for the name given to you). Equally as common a cherokee will be named after an action or characteristic that the person portrays, kind of like nick names in english culture. So the answer to your question is your name is pretty much whatever you want it to be.

Answer 2

You may not be able to. Many of the Cherokee refused to sign up for the rolls after the government's forced removal actions, so many people today are cut off from any claims of that nature. That does not however change who you are, being "Cherokee" has very little to do with who your parents were, but more to do with who you are.

Answer 4

If your a quarter (25%) or more it is socially acceptable to call yourself a native American or Cherokee for that matter.
