<p>What percentage Cherokee am I? I think I'm 1/32..maybe 1/64, but I doubt I'm right...</p>
<p>My mom is filipino and my dad is caucasian. My father's father's father was married to a Cherokee.</p>
<p>What percentage am I?</p>
<p>I'm hardly a math wiz so far all I know I'm about to be seriously humbled...
but.. I'll take a shot at it (sounds like an interesting SAT word problem, although politically incorrect)</p>
<p>If your great grandfather was married to a cherokee, then your grandfather was 1/2 Native American</p>
<p>So your father was 1/4 native american
which means you are 1/8 native american. </p>
<p>so you are 12.5 percent native american. (Like the SAT, Got to answer the question).</p>
<p><em>Prepares to hear that it's wrong</em></p>
<p>You are:
1/2 Filipino (from your mother)
1/8th whatever your great grandpa is (dad's dad's dad)
1/4th whatever your grandma is (dad's mom)
1/8th Cherokee (dad's dad's mom)</p>
