My name is Prairie, I was named after my great-grandmother who was Cherokee. I am white (blue eyes, pale) and I was wondering if I told a Native, if they might think I was trying to make up something to sound cool (I didn't word that well) Thank you!

I guess I would need to hear your motivation. Are you trying to reconnect with your heritage and therefor, are claiming Cherokee? Or are you just saying you are? *confused*
