Excuse me but you are all so wrong. Jemima is Cherokee and Jemima dragging canoe is her real name. And excuse me but Jemima is and will always be the daughter of dragging canoe. I'm so sick of the cover ups and secrets and the erasing of tribal history
I have in the past and yet y'all still don't believe me. Your brainwashed to believe he only had a son. But in reality he had many kids. You have to dig to find the answers. I do not have to show you but look put it all together dragging canoe was around in those areas when she was born. Two she was born in north Carolina in the heart of Cherokee country. Everything I find on her says Jemima Cherokee Hardin. How much more do I have to say. And records are only white mans census. Get real. Your Cherokee. You should know that. We go by oral history traditionally. Not everything has to have a paper. But if this isn't enough. Believe what you wish. But I'm a blood DNA direct descendant. And also of chief pathkiller. So vv ayv tsalagi aka aniyunwiya
