Today there three subclass sets of Cherokee, for lack of a better classification or definition, they are:
Sub-Classes:
- "Blanket-asses" a colloquial term used for traditionalists who, for the most part, shun 'modern America' and hold traditional tribal values above what most would call 'comforts of life.'
- "Modern-Traditionalists" those that blend traditional values in modern life.
- "Modernists" sometimes called "PretIndians" or "Apples" who hold no traditional values and except for an occasional remark, or claim, you cannot tell from any other modern American.
It is important to note that some terms used in this definition are offensive to some, but like many terms of the same nature, are in use by these groups to describe themselves or others of the same background. For instance, if a non-Indian called an Indian a "Apple" in downtown Chicago it would lead to an assault, doing so on a reservation would lead to a missing persons report.
