Native American Ancestry

Just about every family has a story about a ggggrandma or gggrandpa who was a full blooded Choctaw, Cherokee, Apache or some other tribe of American Indian.  Is there any truth in it?  In many cases, yes.  In some, it is a romantic tale.  I have found that tracing this heritage is most difficult at best.  It is a terrible shame, that so many of our Native American ancestors had to hide their heritage to survive.  After the trail of tears, they had much to lose by admitting the truth of their forebears..... so for many, the stories and heritage was taboo, never to be spoken of.  In this fashion, the records became scarce and thus, that much more difficult for genealogists to follow the footsteps of these proud peoples.   I have attempted to round up some links to sites and articles on the subject to help those of you who are searching for your Native American ancestry and heritage.
