Charlotte Goodrich AKA Char Sundust
charsundust@comcast.net:
Greetings,
I would like to offer some points of clarification: I do have Iroquois and Mexican in my heritage. My great-grandfather, Edward Smith, was born in Mexico.
My specific and comprehensive heritage will be reflected on my website. As we know, there are, and were, many who do not enroll in census for their own reasons. My grandmother and grandfather chose to not participate for racial reasons. They also changed their names, which was common practice due to racial issues at that time. I trust my parents, grandparents, and elders in these matters and how they raised me to honor all their ways.
I have integrated and appreciate so much my mixed lineage and honor the spirituality of each lineage joined in me.
I am grateful to have had, and still have, mentors, teachers, and elders whom I deeply trust to clarify and guide me in the most beneficial directions for me to serve well.
Sincerely,
Char Sundust

Since the Iroquois are not a tribe but group of tribes which nation do you come from
Defend the Sacred:
The tribes keep their own records. If someone and their ancestors are not known to the tribe, it means they are either non-Native or their family assimilated so long ago that they are no longer culturally Native. If the tribe doesn't claim you, you're not Native.

Char, I have a different view of census than you, I would not use the word "enroll", in my experience censuses are a list of those counted in a specific area at a specific time. Not everyone is counted in each federal or state census, but many are. Census takers are people of their time, some information is inaccurate, sometimes because of the census taker themselves, sometimes because what neighbors report, sometimes because of what the families themselves report.
That said, census can help in genealogy work. They can provide possible pieces to the puzzle.
As Kathryn has said, tribes keep their own records.
You mention grandparents, are you speaking of your maternal or paternal grandparents? If your maternal grandparents are Conrad H Goodrich and Charlotte Irene Guinn, they are both in 1930 and 1940 federal census.

You know, being born in Mexico doesn't necessarily mean anything other than being born in Mexico. Are you claiming that this ancestor's birth in Mexico means you have more spiritual insight?
Edward Smith, is this a paternal or maternal great grandfather?
Iroquois? Which Nation? Why do you claim any of this to promote yourself?
Sparks:
I notice that Charlotte Goodrich AKA Char Sundust
(charsundust@comcast.net http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=6269)
was active a couple of days after the questions in the previous post were asked (more than five years ago), but she chose not to answer them.
This woman is still very active. The URL of her homepage is now:

Her bio has changed (again) and is now here, which I quote in full with my bolding:
