Robert Griffing's "Warriors"

[Phil]

I've always admired this painting too, in part because it shows a Cherokee & Scots "warriors" (two of my bloodlines).

That's interesting. When I was in Florida a couple of years ago I met someone who told me he was mixed Scots/ Cherokee and put me onto this. You will know all about it but it is interesting that a Scotsman should become a chief of the tribe. I have read that the native peoples tribal systems were very much alike the Highland clans and perhaps this was why there was an affinity like this. I don't know if it happened so much with other nationalities.
