I think a lot Cherokees have a thing for Elvis. Idk if it's because a lot of us grew up hearing Elvis had a Cherokee grandma or if we heard Lonesome Cowboy or watched G.I. Blues one too many times but I don't know many Cherokees who don't enjoy Elvis one way or another

#i know i know all the controversial topics surrounding elvis #but yall dont know what its like to be an ndn kid sitting on the floor of your grandmas house while you listen to her sing along to elvis #or driving all the way to fort smith just to see where elvis got his hair cut before he went to basic training #elvis isnt even cherokee yknow lol #but idk my grandma still has elvis memorabilia hung up around her house and she hums along to his music still and its just so special to me #anyways if your tsalagi too tell me why you love or hate elvis lol #my life #yeah im rambling so what #tsalagi #im not an elvis apologist im just nostaglic for a childhood full of music
