I Am Part Cherokee

I have a little Cherokee roots in me. My mom and I were sitting outside in the backyard one night, and she told me that we have Cherokee roots on her side on the family. My mama that she lives with (her sister) also told is that my grandfather or grandmother (I don't remember who she said) is half Cherokee and my great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee indian. That is so cool! I want to learn more about my roots.
