I've also known of southern white people claiming native American heritage to hide the reality of African heritage. I'm an example. I was told by my grandfather that his grandmother was a "choctaw princess" throughout my childhood. And I've done research into this and it seems like she was actually a black woman. Claiming native ancestry is usually more socially acceptable in the south than claiming black ancestry.
Every princess has a queen as a mother, so why don't they just skip the bullshit and say they're descended from Choctaw royalty and have claims to Choctaw royal line of succession?
I mean if you wanna go that far into it, the Choctaw didn't have a typical hereditary monarchy before 1860. They would have three chiefs/kings that were chosen by popular consensus, and sometimes it would be hereditary, but often it wasn't. And they didn't have absolute monarchy either where the chiefs had complete authority. They've been a republic with a constition since 1860, which is around when my fictional ancestor was supposedly alive so even the line of succession thing doesn't work
