- Perhaps the information about laws in NC
- is from some period in the past: When I was
- in grade school in NC (late '50's/early '60's), it was technically
- illegal for me to attend public school because
- my ancestry exceeded the miniscule fraction of
- Native American blood allowed. I don't know
- how much it was ever enforced--at least in the
- Piedmont--and it was repealed as an anachronism
- before I left school. There were probably laws
- against intermarriage (miscegenation) on the books
- until embarassingly recently, too, but they are
- surely not there anymore... There might also be
- *tribal* laws... 'though the original post was
- so long ago that I don't know what I'm second-
- guessing anymore!
- Cheers!
- Lynn
