Yeah- that's what was strange growing up. . . our family passed (as white) for generations, which was a boon for my sisters and brothers since they grew up in time when it was really undesireable and even dangerous to be identified as other than white. FOr me, I had problems with more native looking extended family and friends since I passed too well. Once it got OK to be Native you could get cr@p from both sides. I think it was worst when I was a teen and visited a cousin at a native college in Kansas. That was a kinda scary ordeal!
My kids have nice blond hair and blue or grey eyes except for one who is dark haired and eyes. They all have the hooded brows and some other tells, though.

it was weird when Kevin was born...because both Tif and Andrew had huge blue eyes and blonde hair and pale (PALE) skin, and Kevin had olive skin, dark brown eyes (never blue) and dark brown hair...well, one person (idiot) actually asked me if I'd been unfaithful 
) I can't do anything about the sunglasses though...too hard for me.
