You might be wondering why I chose this topic.

Briefing: Why Freedmen Descendants without an Indian Ancestor Listed on the Base Rolls Are Not Eligible for Citizenship in the Cherokee Nation.

First, I would like to tell you a little about myself, I'm a African-American/Cherokee Indian. If you still haven't figured out why I have chosen this topic, then maybe saying that I have Cherokee and Freedmen(African-American Salve) ancestry will help you see it more clearly. Who's side do I take in this situation?
