As someone who is part Cherokee (on the Dawes' Rolls), what do you mean by 'original inhabitants'?

- M_Grey 10y agoIn context, what do you think? Did your people found the US, or practice indentured servitude and slavery? As I understand it you were part of a very different and much older nation that predated the current one. Again, as I understand the people I'm describing came by and decided to take it from you, founding a new one its place. I'm not endorsing that, and my ancestry is utterly unrelated to either group's history.
