I was left out

My great-great grandfather on my paternal line was bom in Indian eountry in the 1830s. He eame to Hawai'i in 1862 and resided on Maui. Our family history states that he is of Chero-

kee descent. But because our family is unahle to locate my ancestor's name on the Dawes Roll, we are not able / to receive recognition j or benefits from the /

Cherokee nation. We are eonhnuing our research to establish our Cherokee heritage."
