Get the Cherokee Grandmother Syndrome mug."Cherokee Princess" Is a common myth in many white families. To make the family history seem exotic and not just your ordinary American family. When really its a family lie that makes you and your family look like clowns.
Grandma Jenny: "Emily! You know My Great Grandma was a cherokee princess?"
Emily: "WOW! I'm part indian!"
An educated person: "Actually Emily your white, and not related to a cherokee princess because there is no such thing.

Get the Cherokee Princess mug.Leaving the bar without informing any of the people you came with. Usually occurs after consuming large amounts of alcohol and you get the sudden overwhelming need to be home. Also can be used when you leave the bar with someone who was not in your original group without letting anyone know.

Get the Cherokee Fade Away mug.The high school where there is absolutly no parking. Where they build a Junior lot that fills by 6:50, and where the cops get tingly feelings by tickiting you for being in the no stopping no standing zones even though there is no other possible parking. The high school that you pull up to a half hour before homeroom starts, and cringe as you realize there is not a single space on either side of the road, and the neigborhood is full...you say a few words of prayer as you pull in front of the no parking no standing sign, hope for the best only to walk out after 13th period to find a $125 ticket placed ever so elegantly under your wiper blades. Cherokee, the school that takes pleasure in using huge orange cones to block off what little parking we do have; the school where you wish your friends would just fail their license tests so they don't hog up your potential parking spaces.
I have received 5 tickets in the past few months for no parking no standing. The announcement made today: "Students, we need to keep a good relation with Brush Hollow, don't park the wrong way...dont park there at all..."
Best example, the HUGE, pointless orange cones.

Get the cherokee high school mug.Cherokee Highschool is quite an interesting place. You may be a freshman, or sophomore, but you're not treated like you're in highschool until you reach 11th grade. You must shove food down your throat in 25 minutes, and if you wish to take your vitamin water out of the lunch room, you pretty much have to shove it up your ass and walk out with it...trust me, they'll find it anywhere else. Despite that fact that over 25,000 text messages fly out of the building during the first half of the day, teachers still treat phones as if we're going to use them to nuke the damn place. Parking is ridiculous. You DO NOT have to get there at 6:30 to get a spot. The only time you DO is when noob juniors who just got their licenses tell every other fucking junior you need to get there at the crack ass of dawn, or it'll be full. Thank you assholes. Anyone in psych would agree with the following 3 word description of said parking issue...Self Fulfilling Prophecy. Stereotyping and Ignorance among peers is at such a high level that a girl can't join a sports team without SOMEONE deeming them lesbo, and a guy can't have even the slightest sense of style without being labeled a fag. Most people in Cherokee need serious reality checks, because as soon as highschool is over those are the only kinds of checks they'll be seeing. That's right girls, no more Mommy&Daddy funds. Grow up.
(2 girls leaving Cherokee Highschool after 13th period)
"Omg girl, we have to go shopping today!"
"Let's do it! I still have my mom's last blank check!"
