In 2006 Ardy Clarke on a genealogy message board asked for help researching a grandmother born in Kentucky.
--- Quote ---I am trying to prove that she was a Cherokee Indian.

--- Quote ---It was my great grandfather that was Indian. I do not know about my great grandmother. Grandma always talked about her father.

Epiphany:
So it looks like Ardy Clarke grew up hearing stories that she had NDN heritage through a grandmother, specifically through that grandmother's father. Clarke in 2006 posted about this on genealogy forums, didn't yet know names of many ancestors, and believed the family stories were true.
That branch of her family can be looked over via census, they are listed as white in 1910 & 1920. They aren't on the 1924 Baker Roll.
Wonder where the Sixkiller came from. One of Ardy Clarke's past interviewers commented that she obviously was NDN because of that middle name.
--- Quote ---She has been adopted and given traditional names by three Northern Plains tribes including the Blackfeet (Woman with Great Knowledge), the Northern Cheyenne (Walks all Woman) and the Lakota Sioux (Woman who Helps People).

(Raises hand) I know I know!! In the early 1970's, there was a quarterback on the University of Washington football team named Sonny Sixkiller. He was a fullblood from CNO, but raised in Ashland Oregon. Sonny is still around. He never made it big in football, but he is on my tv every night telling me why I should visit the Seven Cedars Casino and golf course.;) SIxkiller, apparently isn't that uncommon a name in Oklahoma. Well, if you are CNO. I went to the UW when he played. But never met him as he only hung with the jocks.
