Black Indians: A Hidden Heritage

My GrandMother is Full blood Native American. Her Mother was Cherokee, Her Father was Apache. The hurtful things is that Neither tribe Acknowledges Me anymore because my grandfather was Black and the son of Slaves .

Have not read but will do so. My Great Grandmother on my mother's side of the family was born Cherokee and her daughter married an African American. My grandmother always dressed with something on of Cherokee (Native American) heritage and kept her hair in the Native American appearance. My Great Grandmother on my father's side of the family was born African in the Ivory Coast and brought to America as a Slave. Elders on my father's side know the exact tribal name in Africa, of which escapes me now. I am going to really enjoy reading this book.

My Mom's Mother is Chiricahua/White Mountain Apache. She's also Irish from Dublin, Ireland. My Mom's Dad is a Spaniard and a 1/4 French. He was born in Mexico. His Family came from Barcelona, Madrid, and Saville Spain. My Dad's Father is Choctaw Indian, British, Asian, and African American, from Macon, Mississippi in a big White House on the Hill not far from the Choctaw Reservation. My Dad's Mom is Cherokee and Irish. She's from the upper part of Mississippi. I go through a lot because of the Color of my Skin, and my Heritage. So did and do the rest. But, it doesn't stop me from feeling the Pride I have about where I came from. At least, I Know Something!!!!!!!😊✊👍🇲🇽🇺🇸🇪🇦
