    Herschel Walker along with AB Premier Danielle Smith as of late were proven to not be of Cherokee ancestry. For both white and Black southerners have this lore of having a very distant, unnamed and “princess” maternal ancestor who always is a “Cherokee”. However, these 2 people are known to lie and fabricate, esp AB PM Smith never had an Ukrainian great-grandparent flee Soviet Communism in WW1, and it’s similar to author Erika Wurth’s Chickasaw/Apache/Mexican/Black descent hoax. Again, more fake Cherokee or Indigenous ancestry claims exposed.
