Plecker's treachery effected us all...and the practice spread all over.

This was nice to watch. It makes me happy to see the truth about our people is coming to the light. I’ll never forget when I had a teacher tell me that just because my grandma was Indian didn’t mean I was Indian. It downright confused me… but I brushed it off and continued to embrace who I am.
-
That explains a lot, my family are very quiet people. I didnt know they had to hide being native.
-
THank you Chief Brown for sharing this with us . People need to know the real deal.

I just found out that my mother’s side has roots in the Cheroenaka tribe…and I was told by my maternal grandma that her maternal grandma was “Cherokee” and to think I doubted her for years. When I tell you I cried. I’ve been robbed

12:15 those are damn European children that are accepted but blacks need a paper trail. This is crazy and interesting.
-
Why is it when a person has a little darker hue, papers have to be proven? It seems like the host was trying to imply do you have proof but I could be wrong. My grandmother made sure we knew we were Cherokee.
-
This dude looks like my grandmas side of the family . crazy
-

Chief Walt "Red Hawk" Brown looks just like my grandfather (who was black)!!! 11:35 bingo!!! Those people had brown skin!!!
-
An exceptional interview! This is the kind of detail that people need to understand. When a tribe attempts to obtain Federal Recognition from the BIA, one of the 7 criteria is to prove you are descended from a historical tribe. How do you do that when your history was eradicated in the attempts to "kill the Indian - save the man"?

All my family are from Virginia my grandfather had to flee from Virginia in the 30s he didn't talk about it much but we go to family reunion in Tazwell VA he had brothers and sisters BUT!! They all fled thing is my entire family looks resembles theses people. We know we arnt from Africa

My father always told us he was an Indiana; I was born in Seminoles Territory. I became conscious of the African Culture when I came to Alt., and I was powerful in the work standing for Africa and still somewhat. I hung-out with our families from African tough! One day, I went into the store of an African friend; as I enter his store, he immediately handed me a book, and he told me “this is who you are.” The title of the book (The MightyChieftains) by Time Life Books; and on the cover of that book is my father face. When you have been thinking you’re an African. And here comes an African from Africa, to informing me, you’re not one of us. I was blown away (hurt). Idon’t know why? When my father kept telling us, he’s an Indiana. I appreciated Bro. Yusuf so much today. Because when Black Americans, share with each other that they are Native Americans, they began to discourage each other by saying, you’re an African! Sure our ancestors who founded this country in the early moon of times are from Egypt, we are the true owner of the America. A lot of Black Americans needs to begin to face reality about their bloodline. So much has been taken from us Natives: our LAND, our identity and OUR WAY of LIFE. We have been turn all around, and to find out we are the true owners of America, rightfully so. Peace**LoVe

The old map that lists thetrue names of places costs $14,000 online. Stone Mountain is the Rock of Gibraltar, and so on it goes deeper down the rabbit hole of deceit.

Hilarious how the interviewer was more interested in first guy and not the second who looks just like her. 🤣
