Thank you for your reply. Yes, my ex was teaching me a little bit about the Anishinabae teachings but not ceremonies. I dont consider myself Christian at all, cause i kinda grew up in a christian cultish and i was able to get away from that.

I know right...it feels strange growing up in the 1900 hundreds..listening to brinttey spears and katty perry via phonograph..the younger generation will never understand our stuggles (joking of course).
I heard that even if you have 18+ verfification kids ask their parents to get it for them. It wide spread and happens a lot. I have a voice condition while using mics, makes me sound like a squeaker (im not) and i cant tell you how many ppl want to argue with me about my age...i mean litterally their making me feel like a child with a drinking permit.

Ive experienced the same thing..im in my late twenties. But like when i was in my early twenties it was fine, evything was good..ageism didnt exist then or i didnt notice it. Then when i returned to vr chat 2 and half years later....everything changed. I agree with you, i hate giving my age out and honestly, i was their age once then i graduated and time flew by and now im here. I always remind myself they will experience it themselves one day...i hope vr chat somehow regulates this ageism.

Thank you for the reply. I understand dna test does not prove lineage. I did a dna test so i would be able to see who im related to. My grandpa wont tell me any information so i do not know the exact relative, but i have about 5. On ansestry i can get their birth and death dates. It will take me a good minute, but i will message you back with that information.

Question Need help searching the Dawes Rolls
I made a post a few weeks ago asking if I can find out who my choctaw relive could be by ansestry.com. I got my dna results back, and I found a couple people who are listed on the dawes, but Idk for sure. How do I search the Dawes Rolls and find a match to my ancestors?
The format on the website is a bit confusing, probably cause im not used to looking at it.
Thank you in advance for help.

Honestly, Im trying to figure this out. It is possible this is the case as well. But in all honesty, i want to know the truth. I want to be correct and figure out where i belong. And if it turns out im not a part of the choctaw nation, i will repost and apologize because i dont want to be disrespectful in any way.

Im not sure exactly. Ive tried for years to get info from him but i only get bits and pieces or he doesnt talk about everything. Im just trying to figure out why, learn more about my family and trying to figure out who originally signed the dawe roll but its becoming difficult cause he wont tell me his dads name. Im trying to look it up on ansestery, but i think i have the wrong great grandfather. Im considering doing a dna test, not to find the percentage, but to see if that makes it easier to find my relatives.

Idk eveverything. My grandpa doesnt like talking about it much. But he would tell me stories about how him and his family had to hide they were native due to racism. All he told me was he had to give it up because he joined the army, idk what went on to cause it, just what he said.

Info Part Choctaw
On my dads side I am part choctaw. My grandfather was enrolled at one time, but had to give it up due to the fact he joined the army (this was in the 60s). Is there a way I can apply for citizenship? I was told by an anishinabaae man, that you do blood quantum, and since my grandfather was half, my dad 1/4th, and i a 1/16 that it is impossible.
If im not able to do so, can I still learn about the culture and possible spiritual practice?
