I found a Beverly in my family history! I also found Penn/Pinn. So we are all related. I have traced the Penn family back to the Revolutionary War, but couldn't find anything beyond

Duff, Redcross, Johns, Branham, and Terry lines here!

I want to thank all that put this together. These stories NEED to be told and to be remembered so that we can grow. With all my Love and respect I dance for the old ones that struggled to keep their families intact throughout all that they went through!!! Thanks very much for this video. Love to all Monacan families! Mitakuye Oyasin

I would like to be your friend and visit Monaco

I find all this so interesting. I live about a mile from where the new health center is being built, and pass by it every day. It's good to see these people making progress, and exciting to see people I talk to right here on KZread. Very cool.

I want to thank all the families of the monacan nation for your hospitality at 2024 pow-wow, and me and my twin brother, arrived there and stepped on the grounds we knew instantly we knew we were on Holy grounds! and it was like electricity going from bottom of my feet inside out to the top of my head and went all around my body like static electricity. Awesome peace come over me and the first thing came to me was I maybe standing in the presence of my ancestors, my mother's mom she was a johns and the story was told to me and my 7 brothers and sisters that we we're native americans that had passed on to us as orchard growers and vineyards, and they had worked in the orchards and owned the orchards in Southern Illinois before Illinois became a state. My mother married a sephardic Moroccan jew, bothe families understood about anti-setism that had ran in this country and it's still going on today, we too was ridicule and rejected by by the society even yet to this day. However we never bowe down to them, we had always held up our heads and moved on to something greater, for we know who we are and we know where we came from, everything said, it's in the blood. I just want to say thank to each of the families their in bear mountain va., we love you all may the nation be 🙌 blessed and his face shine upon you and recieve his his peace!

I am a descendant of the Pinn/Penn family. I only found this out about 8 years ago when I contacted one of my closest matches to my DNA results

That’s awesome. Can’t wait to visit the museum. ‘Magical’ is a good word.

It's so wonderful to see our nation is returning from the covid my sister louise lives by the school that we went to God bless our monacan people

I just traced my family and they were paper genocided. My family are Virginian , we were here before the europians....Love peace and blessings to family!!!

Mine were as well. They hid their ancestory to protect their children. My great grandpa was born too dark to pass as white and was sold.

That, "my grandma said were Indian.. dont remember what kind but we are." Resonates with me so much. I am of Monacan and also of Nansemond. Its been very beautiful finding the facts and really holding that close to me. I know why I feel so close to home here in these mountains. My grandmother told me the stories of how hard it was to claim family members because of the various skin complexions. Cant wait to learn more and be more involved

It's how we survived. I have family connections to the Nansemond, Wamponoag, Nanticoke, Lenape, Mattamuskeet, Tuscarora, unspecified Powhatan, and I'm enrolled Monacan through my Grandmother's line. Funny thing is my Dad thought we we're Cherokee. We learned Cherokee stuff and went to the powwows. One particularly lucid day for my Great-Grandmother, my Dad asked her if she remembered anything about being "Indian". She said straightforward, "We're Monacan but we shouldn't talk about it." She had lived in Newport News for 40+ years but it was still ingrained in her mind from growing up in Coleman Falls. My father told her, "that was fine" and patted her on her head and kissed her. Imagine his amazement when he got to a computer and was able to look up Monacan Indians and realize where they were from and their surnames.

My greatgrandmother was part indian from the blue ridge mountains

I may be your distant cousin! I descend from Abraham Redcross (Monacan) and Lisha Anderson (Daughter of Anderson a Freed slave and a Bass of the Nansemond tribe.

This was very interesting. Thanks to VPM for sharing this.

My grandfather is a Beverly and so is my grandmother (his daughter). Her daughter was given her maiden name as her first name which is who I was named after. I recently legally changed my name and had no idea there was so much history behind it. Proud to say I am Momacan! 😭😭😭

It's a burnt argument to say I am this and my ancestors have been on this land for this many a'years. There are whole nations in the West Indies whose families have preserved historic monuments and lands, and they can trace names back to Florida going into New York over back to Ohio.

My great grandmother is Estelle Hicks daughter of Maude Branham and Alphonso Hicks

It’s a shame that my parents can be apart of the nation but I personally do not qualify at this time. I guess because everything is so new they can’t let everyone in just yet. I just want my heritage to be recognized for myself personally.

I found out I'm kin to William John's...awsome

For anyone who knows and reads this, I am trying to learn about this culture due to my engagement in the Order of the Arrow (Shenandoah Lodge 258). I talked with a man who made historically accurate Native American necklaces and regalia. He was saying that each family has a different color code. I was hoping to find out what each color means for the Monican family?

It's not really like that. It's clan oriented. Which historically was "family" based. Each correlate an orientation, a mythological "mother", a totem animal, etc, etc. As Yesą and more specifically Monacan, We have our own unique cosmology, theology, mythology, customs, taboos and traditions. Many of them are kept through this 'cypher'. They are pictured in the tribal insignia.

My father says that we are monacan. I grew up in Roanoke

Hope y’all don’t confuse white man with Talmudic Jewish man just be glad your even aloud to celebrate your heritage

Every person who is speaking in this video is also actively attempting to disenroll other Monacan Citizens out of political retaliation

My great-great grandmother was from Front Royal vicinity. I might be descendant of Monacans?

Have they opened enrollment yet ?

My 2nd great grandmother is Maude Branham

Change MUST Come In 2024! There Is NO PLACE FOR DISENROLLMENT...... ......EVER! We Will Have Our Day In Federal Court!!!

Yes my great grandmother hid the fact she was native

Pinn and Beverly

ITS SUCKS THAT THESE TRIBES DIED OUT THANK THE CREATOR FOR KEEPING THE IROQUOIS CONFEDERACY STRONG THROUGH THES3 DARK TIMES 🙏

Everybody looks white 😂😂😂.

The original people of the Americas had afros, beards & dreads and they were the olmecs the Aztecs and the Mayans. Now Most uf not all of these people on this video are $5 Indian /native American /mongorians/Siberians,NOT INDIAN. The original Indians of the Americas were darker skin people that you most likely consider African-American today but just like everywhere else in the world our history has been whitewashed so these people proclaim to be the original people of the Americas which this is SO far from the truth, they are just mix breeds, and there's nothing wrong with that, they are beautiful people still. But if you do the proper research through all of the scholars they give clear depictions of what the true inhabitants of the Americas look like and they look like the same people of color LIVING TODAY or who y'all considered African Americans WHICH IS A MISNOMER. Just like all the people in the Bible where people of color, even Jesus, but even this truth never stopped the Western world for spreading their whitewashed lies. Smh very shameful & disrespectful how they DID MY PEOPLE & STILL TRYING TO DO IT. 😑🤔
