Osiyo!
I am Jewish and Cherokee (ᏣᎽᏔ). my maternal line is Ashkenaz, but many ndn ancestors, though not halacicaly jewish, have sephardic ancestry/customs. People dont really know about the history of Jews in the south in colonial America, and in pre colonial America, with many jews having fled the Expulsion (spanish inquisition) in 1492 to south carolina and THEN fleeing from hernando de soto. Very complex history that i wish people knew more about. We are still here!
