Mine mixed with scottish

True found a picture of someone in my family who was dark as sin

Hey Cody, your story sounds similar to mine. My grand mother on my mamas side was born in 1902, and her sister married a german named Shoemaker from georgia. Well she, the sister had a baby (Ruth) and died giving birth , so my GM stepped up and married her sister's husband to care for the baby. My cherokee GM was. Davis bf she married the German man Luther Shoemaker. Her name was odley enough, Stella Estelle Davis, sounds Italian to me. Maybe her mama named her that to keep her safe!

Some of my family left NC/SC/Virginia to Ohio to escape being displaced, Catawba of Carrs Run and The Saponi of Ohio.

Treatment of anyone who was not White STILL, is the saddest and darkest moments of our country’s present, and history.

My fathers family go back to the 1300's. Trying to get that information.

Michael Tester I live in North Carolina in lumberton I’m black and native

Now try to find our history without the involvement of white people or black people. Just native people. Bet ya cant. Better yet go to a reservation. Just dont talk about us like we are past tense and taken away from our cultures . That's why many of us are mixed white white or black or whatever. Best film on us was filmed back during my grandads era when people were more pure than they are even now. Now we get broken into blood quantum like livestock. We dont get a month. Or even a lives matter campaign. And our elders keep getting killed in hospice for the government to take their land. We are still here. Our nightmare has never ended.

I just found out my great grandmother was a Catawba Indian and I’m here now Finally happy to be able to search my roots but idk where to start . These comments are great though lol

I live in Caldwell Co, the last known Cherokee area for where I live and the removal of my ancestors just before, during and after the Civil War was awful, my 3rd Grt Grndma survived this journey with the help of two daughter's and a backboard wagon, then came back here to live out the rest of her days before she died , to be buried on the land which she was born on.

Linda Anderson those are white settlers everyone knows the true Indians were copper colored aboriginal who are referred to today as African Americans. This video is pure propaganda look up a descriptions an Indian and compare them to what you see in this video.

@@imdifferentMr843 no "everyone " doesn't know or believe this. DNA destroys your attempt at revisionist history. The tribes themselves laugh at this. Native Americans determine who is Native and who is not.

We are copper and all shades

indeed!!! Definitely propaganda. This video makes nonsense at all😂@@imdifferentMr843

And made them speak their language and practice their religion. How dare the Mormons!

Thank u for saying that

@@aidensanders2534 No problem I'm just so sick and tired of these baseless lies. Stupid! We arent copper colored. We did NOT descend from Africa. People need to stop lyin. We have enough racial appropriation going on. 🙄

@@rayveninwonderland5152 where were the Americans Indians before the Columbus lie. Where are you in any history book, please explain because it seems as if you just appeared out of thin air. I’m honestly confused.

Exactly. If you know you know! I’m tired of ignorance about our history discrediting our existence. It’s just another way of removing us.

@@imdifferentMr843 they assimilated almost immediately into the British colonies. Read books from the 1800s and there is allot of info on the Catawba. We are still here. I am Melungeon. My people are part Catawba tribe.

Terrie Johnston exactly because they (the ones in this video) are not Indians at all but instead white settlers who passed the paper bag test and got to stay behind.

The Indians that stayed did so to survive. We were Young Chicken of the Bird Clan and we stayed. My grandparents were sent to re-education schools but still upheld our oral history and with the inception of the internet were able to prove it to the letter, down to our name. Staying behind meant generations of abuse and hiding. My family was torn apart by choosing to die on their land or be given land somewhere west they didn't know about.

​@@imdifferentMr843 Why would you say something so cruel? That's what they want. That's how we get erased.

These are all $5 Indians all foreigners placed there to take away the identity of the real indigenous people of this republic whom the pale face re named African American or black

Templeton Maestro My family is from Catawba and are part Catawba SHAMEFUL my land has been in my family for so long and I can't get tribal recognition.

Templeton Maestro how are you African?

Templeton Maestro hi how can one search to see if they are apart of the indigenous tribes of the carolina's? Census records??

How could Catawba be African hunters in America?

Original Indians were black. Don't let the colonizers fool you.

Thay can be real. There were more than blacks here. They simply are not Israelites Canaanites dwelt in the tents of Shem. Not all native Americans are Hebrew I feel you But they are pawns in the game Pale face will always put them forward Easier than publishing that America Was stolen from Blacks & Mexicans Couldn’t continue to hold the nation together

Yup!

I’m from Catawba county and I want to find my tribe and ppl

@@zinnia20207 Lucielle A Tsali Cherokee Indian….. He had all daughters and women can’t carry a legacy on because their children take on the fathers tribe and she takes on her husbands.

@@thekidjahmez9448 I went to ancestry and just traced my fathers, father, fathers, father…lol sound like I’m saying “farther” but the irony of it all is the farther you can trace back the easier it is. I found my people because my Dad side never left Union County NC so really I’m 100% waxhaw (wisacky) aka “Flatheads”. A lot of my people died from smallpox and other plagues so we are known today as the Catawba tribe. My fathers mother family were cheraw Indians which is also an extinct tribe that joined the Catawba tribe also. So I’m definitely apart of Catawba and I will be going to the south soon to get my reserved land. *You won’t get it in a day and your ancestors won’t reveal themselves to you if you don’t take them seriously…it takes a determined mindset of connecting people to areas. Why are areas so important you might ask? Because what money means to us now land meant to us then ….we didn’t leave our land for nothing because we had gold mines and resources that would often lead to wars…we were always in protection mode against other tribes and didn’t just wander into areas that weren’t ours because we could easily die by other tribes. we didn’t have to go anywhere we were master builders. So if you can trace back to the 1800s-1900s and see what county your people were in…each place you know as a “county” was once just simply a place where tribes were living in …. This journey is amazing but it takes time. I’m still learning new stuff about my tribe everyday.

SADDLTRAMP Keith That’s why there was more appreciation for everything.

That’s why there was more appreciation for everything.

You should learn the history behind the “$5 indian” and who it was applied to before throwing it around. I see you African Americans always using it when it has NOTHING to do with you guys.

@@IkceWicasa_7 you don't know anything about history foh

TJ Qwick No one knows our history but us, not you, not the white man. These are my people, worry about your own history.

@REACTION TUBE Another non native thinking they know our history. The Dawes rolls and the “$5 Indian” only pertained to the “5 civilized tribes”. That’s only five tribes out of 574 in the U.S alone. They don’t speak for us nor do they represent us. Sorry but anyone claiming to be Catawba today are heavily mixed, just like most tribes east of the Mississippi. The real Catawba are extinct, along with their culture and linguistics. The Blackfoot nation never lived in the Carolinas, that’s how I know you’re full of it. I love how you guys try to say you were here before us, but at the same time claim our tribes. Hó hečetu yeló.

@@IkceWicasa_7 Preach Brother! Nothing worse than Blacks and Whites trying to tell US who is Native and who is not.

True American Indian don't dance like that. That dance look russian. These people are not indians.

What is actually wrong with you? I am Cherokee and Choctaw. This is us. We look like this. You are just a part of the colonial problem, doing their job, trying to erase us, because understanding the truth would hurt too much, right?

They love carrying water for settler colonial propagandists, at the end of the day. They're also profoundly stupid.

Hey ma so am i Cherokee/cheraw our people live on through our bloodlines nobody can change that! Our people survived we are still here!

stfu idiot. you have sooo much to learn. you are so clueless and indoctrinated.

@Sean Hayes... You really need to get out that paleface school brah. So-called white people are just Albino Africans. The so-called Negro is not the beady head African type. The Negro is various shades of copper/bronze and has thick wavy sometimes curly hair if unbraided. There are MANY books and documents; including but not limited Strong's Bible Dictionary and Webster's Dictionary 1828 that make the same distinction. The Mexican Chronicles and James Adair's work of 1775. And just because a nigga aint wearing feathers from his fitted cap and speaking some foreign language, doesn't mean he shouldn't be acknowledged. The whole earth worships Black American Culture.... I don't see people blowing up twitter for Nigeria's new artist Look around brah, before you speak.

Brothers Brothers listen , theres no specific way to accurately gauge the typical black american man cause they destroyed too much of our identity , if they could paint those pyramids all white then they did it here , I dont believe we all came here on a diseased wooden sail boat... Although some did , I dont believe we all are intermixed with whites from slavery , some of us are but not a whole lot infact most of our european dna markers come from overseas hundreds of THOUSANDS of years ago , and European dont necessarily mean white , Caucasoid differs from Caucasus (people from C.mountains)... People wanna gauge us from the last slave master to the darkest african , we're a differnt type of african indeed cause even not all africans look alike , You can mix us and we still hold distinct features , Moore blood could be for sure strong in our lineage , somebody taught the indians to wear masks, chant and dance around fire , aborigines been on the same thing since they left Africa , they mixed with the Indians (overseas) then discovered Australia , so lets not argue but instead embrace our mysterious circumstances , God hid our language & spirituality within us cause its meant for a direct connection with him ONLY ... And its real 💯💯💯🐺 🐺

You wrote a lot some was true so almost not but the facts remain documentation does not lie

Culture Vultures

Do you know your history of my people or met any of my people?? You should do your homework or are you part of the Africans that are of the native American movement claiming you're the real natives? My people ancestors are recognized and fought the same as yours did the same Europeans and were dne the same so many of my people had babies by These fools and were made too marry or kept as slave years Made to forget our languages and clothing but you are welcome to visit our Pow Wows anytime 😊too learn. We have been here shame on you Our people had to fight same said government to be recognized and we are through our DNA/bloodlines! Shame on you! We all come in different shades just as you My mother is dark cherry wood My daddy is light tan These people you see are not "white" they are my people you can tell by their features as well as other factors Research south carolina/North Carolina cheraw and surrounding tribes research all native tribes early 1500s 1600s, etc My Ancestors walked the trail of tears I have oral history, family photos as well as documents of our people our blood and membership cards! I keep seeing yall speaking of fake Indians though you want to be but not verified 😴 Yes we lost alot of our history due to ignorance and greed but our bloodlines still remain! Shame on you! Btw, my husband is African and has European I'm his dna/bloodline and his whole family is dark skin I don't understand why people think there is such a thing as a "Pure Race" on this planet When we all have been mingling for the past couple hundred yrs more it's insane! Btw,My peoples do not carry the rhesus factor our blood is rate also Through my Cherokee Side. Facts. 🙌 It's sad people still speaking on skin colors too judge someone Characterize someone that white, black came from massa And all natives dnt walk around in headress and moccasins That was pretty much done away with that same Era your people endured racism Just as this is a form You calling our ancestors/people $5 Indians when you dnt know a day of our life culture! Learn. Not from schools not the "white/washed" history! You should know better! I'm 46yrs old I am seeing so much false information as well as people trying too claim what they are not!

Now you know you do not see a white person in this video Haters are real! My people come in all shades As yours do My bloodline my people ❤

The “$5 Indian” only pertains to the Dawes Rolls, which only pertains to the “5 civilized tribes” and their freedmen.

+familyguygerald you aint nothing there is no Catawba and there is no Gerald in native ways your nothing

+familyguygerald you might be chickasaw but you aint catawaba

The Chickasaw and Catawba were located very far apart. The Chickasaw were native to northeast Mississippi whereas the Catawba were from North Carolina/South Carolina border. There is clearly snow seen in some of this film. Mississippi get almost zero snow, whereas North Carolina gets snow every year. Catawba are much closer to Cherokee than Chickasaw.

How do I know your not a fake native. Running black bear? sounds like a Hollywood name to me, sir. If you call yourself Cherokee how do I know your not a fake Cherokee like many others. Just wondering.

+familyguygerald you don't know and you don't have a clue who I am and what my name means in native ways but the white man don't know native ways aint that right white boy

+familyguygerald go away want a be native

+runingblackbear and Omaka Teca Oiyokipi (Merry Christmas). Goodbye, I'm done arguing with you. I am Catawba. You may not believe me, but your have the right to think what you want. Although you cannot distort the facts. I am Catawba, it is in my lineage. What matters most is that we are Natives and need to preserve our heritage. Goodbye.

+familyguygerald like told you there is no more Catawba they where all killed off a long time ago about 200 years ago and you still dont know what Catawba means do you but you think your them and your not get over your self

+familyguygerald that don't make you Catawba native

Yes I am Catawba. Go search Catawba and see the tribe is still alive.

+familyguygerald and no your not Catawba they where all killed off

+familyguygerald you are not Catawba there all dead

runingblackbear you are not native or you would know better, smh

My boyfriend is part Catawba. His mother was half Catawba and her mother was full blood.

+runingblackbear Where are you getting this information from? You are very misinformed. They mostly live in South Carolina, there is a Catawba Reservation in York, South Carolina actually and they have some smaller groups in Oklahoma and Colorado.

+Ambyr morton they are not Catawba people they might be native but there not Catawba

you need to do some research.

+Ambyr morton  you dont have a clue all you have is the internet and its a joke and you don't even know what catawaba name means
