@ User:ARoseWolf The source that you removed says that Awiakta is "Not an enrolled member, but a woman with clear Eastern Band heritage". I'm not sure why that source should be omitted or why the article shouldn't state that she isn't an EBCI citizen. Her non-citizenship is also mentioned in this book. I'll look for further details about her Cherokee heritage claims. Here she claims, amid musings about her "black hair and high cheek bones", that her mother was part of the Deer Clan of the Overhill Cherokee of Tenasi. In Ms. Magazine she claims that her mother Wilma McCormack Bonham was Cherokee; I see no mention of any Cherokee ancestry on her father's side. Here and here she claims her first name means "eye of the deer" and was given to her by her (presumably maternal) "Cherokee" grandfather. Around 10:00 into this video she mentions her ordained Methodist minister grandfather and claims "the Cherokee comes through his side". That grandfather's name was Rev. W. A. McCormack. Suprising no one, both of the "Cherokee" reverend's parents Sarah and John are listed as "white" on the US census. The Baker Roll doesn't include any of these names; no McCormacks are listed, nor any Burks. Her ancestors aren't on the Dawes Rolls either. Bohemian Baltimore ( talk) 10:42, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
"Since at least 1991, Smith has publicly claimed to be Cherokee although she has never been enrolled in any federally recognized Cherokee tribe, and no Cherokee ancestry has ever been found for her."Something like this would be due in the article because the claim of Cherokee ancestry has been made and the subject has profited off those claims. -- ARose Wolf 17:22, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
