  2. This needs to stop…Your so ashamed of you West African roots that you try to appropriate the Native American Identity…The so called Black Native Americans were those Africans that mixed with the Native Americans due to a variety of reasons which include some Native American tribes owning slaves..You really do a disservice to African Americans by propagating a lie that can be easily debunked…Do yourself a favour and take a DNA test..I guarantee most of it will be from West Africa…And this is coming from a Hispanic who is at least 15% West African and proud to be. .

  6. The government knows negroes in Virginia piedmont were not transported from Africa…. The Protestants were the only ppl brought here via boat during that time…go look at the Parrish vestry records…they literally call us Indian Jim, indian john, etc… for example, look at Patrick Henry slaves… they took over reservation lands aka plantations

  10. The first slave ships to Virginia in 1619. This gave African runaway slaves almost a century upon arriving in Virginia, to reach The Native Yamasee Indians, as they both assimilated. The Yamasee War of 1715-1717 lasted for over a year. The British put The Yamasee Traders into servitude do to them not being able to pay their debts. Also The British received payment by taking Yamasee land. The Yamasee Indians killed the British Colonists in order not to owe moneys to the (British Bad Trade Traps). The Yamasee was also involved in (captured enemy indians) slave trades to the British. Some Muscogee Creek Indians sided with the CONFEDERACY OF THE SOUTH in order to maintain SLAVERY! This 2023 Yamasee chief, What side was he & his decendents on? Is his tribe trying become Federally Recognized?

  17. how would "Africans" know to follow the North Star to escape their captors ?……… The north Star can only be seen in the Northern Hemisphere ( it cant be seen at all in africa) did African slaves come to the americas and become pros at Astronomy?? or did most of them already know because they were living in the country like their ancestors before them . The story of the North Star/ Nah-Gah and Shiloh is a Native American Story from the Paiute peoples. (small mic drop)

  18. Speaking on Deception and Derision, for those who still have unanswered questions, please, with out premeditated thoughts, pick up and read the Book Of Mormon aka ( The Stick of Joseph also, The Mayan Bible). This is a Historical Record of the Chosen People coming to the Chosen Land that The Great Creator gave them. We were given a whole different narrative of the information, complete with some mis- guided passages to deter our reading the information. If you are a student of the Holy Bible you will see that this is a continuation of the “ Lost Tribes”, bloodline kinship of Jacob/ Israel’s sons. There were 12 Brothers Judah Benjamin and Levi were split from their brothers. Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh represents JOSEPH’s Tribe. The book was found and a religion made from it. Because we are spiritually connected, the book was used against us. Like the movie Book of Isaiah. Also, if you want to know what was done to our people, indigenous ancestors, Read “ The American Holocaust – David Stannard, your heart will be shattered. The great news, though, is our FATHER’s PROMISE; to send a Savior for his people. To give us back our name, honor, land. To rip us from this bondage and oppression. And to exact punishment ( double ) of that which was handed to us. I’m not wishing I’ll on any one so I encourage every every person to repent of our transgressions as well as for those of our forefathers. And yes you are “The Indians”. May Peace Be Your Journey

  20. the late 17th century, the first English colony of Virginia was faced with the daunting task of trying to reconcile and take census of the many people groups that it found in the region as it set it sights toward legislated enslavement of people with visible volumes of melanin.

    In November 1682, legislation was passed that forged all “Negroes, Moors, Mollattoes or Indians” into a new ‘racial classification’ of Negro

  24. In November 2018, scientists of the University of São Paulo and Harvard University released a study that contradicts the alleged Australo-Melanesian origin of Luzia. The results showed that Luzia was entirely Amerindian, genetically. It was published in the journal Cell article (November 8, 2018), a paper in the journal Science from an affiliated team also reported new findings on fossil DNA from the first migrants to the Americas. Using DNA sequencing, the results showed that Lagoa Santa remains from a site nearby to the Luzia remains carry DNA regarded as Native American. Two of the Lagoa Santa individuals carry the same mtDNA haplogroup (D4h3a) also carried by older 12,000+ remains Anzick-1 found in Montana, mtDNA haplogroup A2, B2, C1d1 and three of the Lagoa Santa individuals harbor the same Y chromosome haplogroup Q1b1a1a1-M848 as found in the Spirit Cave genome of Nevada. The bust of Luzia displaying Australo-Melanesian/African features was created in 1999. André Strauss of the Max Planck Institute, one of the authors of the Journal Science article remarked "However, skull shape isn't a reliable marker of ancestrality or geographic origin. Genetics is the best basis for this type of inference," Strauss explained."The genetic results of the new study show categorically that there was no significant connection between the 👉Lagoa Santa people and groups from Africa or Australia.
    👇
    So the hypothesis that Luzia's people derived from a migratory wave prior to the ancestors of today's Amerindians has been disproved. On the contrary, the DNA shows that 👉 Luzia's people were entirely Amerindian."
