that is like my Grandmother..she never would talk about my Great grandmother being Native Indian because they tried to hide that fact.
Now they are all dead and NOBODY knows who/what/where etc about our native roots.

This happened in my family too. My dad always told us that his great grandmother was full blood Pottawamie Indian but nobody would admit it. She was refered to as the "dirty littly Indian" by the family. All we know about her is that her name was Christina and there is a grave stone that says Christina, wife of William Garlinger. He always wanted to know about her. Now there is a rumer in the family that she wasn't even Indian.
