My father was German, (Was... He died 3 years ago) and mother is American Indian. I'm an enrolled Cherokee.... a member of: The Cherokee nation; Northeast Alabama; (Otherwise known as CTNEAL) Creekpath-Willtown district. When someone claims to be Cherokee, ask them ''what's the rest of it?'' since nobody is 'just' a Cherokee.

So... many years (decades) ago, I was given the name Adondo Osda. At least that's my phonetic way to spell it in English. It means "Good Heart."

A complication for internet use as a username, Adondo is also the name for an African talking drum.
