Mark Charles would like Native Americans to start thinking outside the box about themselves and their political voice or lack of voice in the United States.

[Oh Please]

I'm half Cherokee. Unlike some, my family assimilated into the U.S. culture 3 generations ago. We are as American as all others, however, don't use our Cherokee heritage against other Americans. Isn't it time 'all Americans' come together for the betterment of this country, instead of attempting to form a virtual 51st state? What will it prove? Knowing our heritage is one thing, using it for another purpose isn't helping anyone.
