I know I'm late in the thread, but since I haven't read the responses yet, that's fine...

As far as I am concerned, we are most definitely not a nationality.

Nationality implies nation. Nation implies borders, government, and most important, cultural institutions.

However, that being said, if someone tells me that they are a member of the "Cherokee Nation", I think they are referring to the ethnicity of the Cherokee American-Indians, and not the nation that existed before whitie came and destroyed the natives...or both?

I agree that we are an ethnicity before a nation.
