Uncle Judson would be Cherokee and whatever.  Or whatever and Cherokee, 
depending on who you are taking to.  Or, if his mother was a tribal member 
and he became a tribal member, then historically, traditionally and 
technically, he would be Cherokee.  No princesses, and rarely a chief <g> 
Half-breed is a white term and not one of endearment <g>
