It also depends on what your mom looks like. I know quite a few people who started out with extremely blond hair and it darkened quite a bit once they got older. You may have some lighter complected ancestors that are causing you to be lighter. So, yes, it is common.

One never knows what recessive genes might do. What other ethnic groups are you? If predominately lighter skinned, lighter haired/eyed, those genes might have won out. Many people have blond hair when younger that turns dark as they mature, and they don't even have to have Amerindian blood in them.

Genetics is very complex subject and some people spend their whole lives studying it. When you have mixing of genes, the way you look depends on how your gene is expressed. Genes for hair color, eye color, skin complexion are all inherited and some are dominant some are recessive. Who knows your child may show more cherokee features than you...or maybe your grandchild.
