But that's clearly inferred by this: In the United States alone, the Cherokee Nation of
Oklahoma estimates there are over 200 fraudulent
groups claiming to be Cherokee. Visit websites
devoted to genealogy, and one will find scores of
Americans expressing their disappointment when DNA
testing contradicts family legnds about great,
great grandma being Cherokee.
So, first of all, there are groups that outright make fraudulent claims about Cherokee ancestry. Secondly, there are lots of people who have believed — and claimed — to be descendants of Cherokee who discover that they have in fact been mislead.You could argue that he doesn't provide the evidence (who are these 200 groups, and where do we find these "scores of Americans expressing their disappointment"?), but that's par for the course in a fluffy article like this. I don't see any bushes being beaten around, however. |
