My ancestor was given a Military Hat and Sword by Sam Houston for the Cherokee backing against Santa Anna. Sam Houston and my ancestor signed a treaty in which 2.5 million acres in East Texas would be given to the Cherokee for their alliance but after the war, the Texas Senate renigged against Sam Houston's objections and the military was sent after the Cherokee.
My ancestor was shot in the leg and back only to be executed by a Captain with a shot to the head. After he was shot, this Captain cut off pieces of skin and took the Sword as a souvenir.
This ancestor mother was Cherokee and the father was Scottish and the name of my ancestor was Chief Bowles or The Bowl or Chief Di'wali.
Should I take offense to EW using my ancestry?
EDIT: By the way, I am not offended by this but isn't this the same as Stolen Valor?
