I want to be in a tribe! Seriously though, how are you not tan as hell with that much native american in you?
I think my grandmother's grandmother (or her grandmother's mom) was Cherokee and it has pretty much turned every male in my family to a tanned mofo (we also farm, so it has a little to do with it). My mother's side apparently had Iraquois somewhere, but they are all white as fuck due to my grandfather being some German/Irish/Italian hybrid thing or whatever.
My younger sister and I are really tan and stay that way easily, while my older sister is pretty white like my mom's side. I can see how genetics can do it, just not when you're that close I guess.

I actively try to avoid tanning, and have since I was 19. I worked at a tanning salon and saw the women turning themselves into beef jerky there. It wasn't pretty. I take excellent care of my skin and look at least 10-15 years younger than I am. Getting some sun is good but baking yourself in it is bad. If the result is that I look pretty pale, so be it. Better than looking like that old lady from "There's Something About Mary".
