Thanks for having these presentations. Our history has been swept under the rug. Dr. Arwin Smallwood visited our family's land in western NC. He was spot on about the surnames in our graves and the eastern pine tree. My family were FPOC of Portuguese/Croatan heritage. Some of the names I didn't know tied back to the Tuscarora until he mentioned it. Many of our family names tie back to the Tuscarora and today's Lumbee. Some will not acknowledge us, but we know who we are.

The Portuguese were the most savage slave traders: glad you’re proud of that!

I am Meherrin and many of the teachings and info that you have put out here line up with what we were told and found out through documentation. Thank you!

I hear a lot of so call African Americans mention African ancestry but can’t find a Single family link to an African. However their are others who found their ancestors burial grounds in eastern states that dates back prior to Europeans contact. The American Indian was the colored man until he was reclassified.

But you did hear how the Africans(Moors)helped the Englishmen get a foothold into America, our communities, etc... I may be wrong and I'll remain wrong but I don't trust people from Africa today because it's their tradition to ally with the Wight European.

@Shelia Farmer I am not an *Indian* from *Bharat* which is the original name for *India* , stop acknowledging what Caucasoids renamed everything, everybody and everywhere they went. I am *Aniyunwiya Ogeechee* of the *Mississippi* mound builders...which is American aborigine. And Turtle Island is only one of the names this continent was called, but I prefer *Amaraca Pana* as the *Incas* called it once a upon a time. Would you like to see or hear my evidence? Or you jus Google the words I mentioned like an intelligent student.😐

Always great to see you doing good things. Thats why I've been following you long before we got gray hair. Keep up the good work, our young folk need it.

My grandmother told me our tribe- was Black Hawk. I found a reference to them in a slave narrative, they had converted to Christianity, but were deceived by missionaries during a festival, were rounded up and sold into slavery. This is the only reference I have been able to find of this band. Census records reflect her as mulatto. Her mother was Black Indian and her father a former slave, not sure of his ethnicity. My ethnicity reflect all that you discussed. This history is so very complicated, thank you for this.

Thank you, Dr.Smallwood. This was quite extensive and in many cases new ways of looking at much of readily available information. I loved how you placed layer upon layer of history.You were able to share vast amounts of information while keeping me on the edge of my seat. I am definitely going to be in touch. By the way, my family are multigeneration Aggies.

Thanks for uploading these

Wow, thank you Dr. Smallwood. Someone did an incredible amount of hard work. My moms grandparents were both melungeons from eastern kentucky. They migrated from virginia and north carolina in the early 1800s.

I just watched this video and I'm impressed. It was a great presentation! Thank you for the history of Native Americans (Indians) in NC and VA.

Great presentation. Thanks so much.

I knew I had African ancestry from my Tuscarora grandparents. My grandmas folks being "Mingo" slaves at the Westbrook plantation outside of Raleigh. I didn't know how much so I took a DNA test, and I found little bits of ancestry that did not add up. Portuguese, Eastern European Roma, Turkish. We Tuscarora know about the lost colony being absorbed into our people, but this is the first that I heard of POC from the Caribbean being left behind at Roanoke as well. Thanks for providing missing pieces of the puzzle that deserves as much spotlight as "The Lost Colony".

This is fantastic. Stumbled on this because I was interested in the melugeon story. So are the original Troup of mixed origin blacks part of directly part of the melugeon story. And are there some books on this by this professor. Excellent presentation .

These African soldiers that they picked up from the Caribbean , are there sources that definitively claim this or is this historical conjecture. I’ve found evidence of them coming from Caribbean but only speculation that they came from Africa first

You have to watch academics sometimes theyre here to push an agenda. You have alot of social engineering when it comes to niji history. You have full blooded caucasians claiming to be indigenous to america, false. The caribbean tribe gets their name from the carib tribe and were described by columbus as looking "ethiopian." Why do you look the south carolina black codes included negroes, indians, and colored people? They were all seen as the same people. Plus the myth of bringing millions of africans without steam powered boats is bogus at best.

I am very curious about Cuba history and culture...? My grandpa was born their however he ending up in Jamaica,he had my dad in Jamaica my dad had be..so I am a ?

Almost believable ...you stressed "AFRICANS" way too much ...First Colonizers were Swarthy just as the Jacobite Rulership at that time.

Can I obtain a copy of the power point presentation?

This is AMAZING information!! Thank you! This adds so much, especially context, to understanding the history of my family & my country. I’m a descendant of Tri-racial melungeon people from Person Co, NC & Halifax Co, VA on my father’s side. I’ve been told that my gg-grandmother was a “full-blood” Native American, named Liza Trickey, but I have no idea which tribe. I think I read in Brent Kennedy’s book that they were probably Plains Indians, but don’t know for sure. It sounds like it’s a good possibility that my native ancestors were Tuscarora. Is there a good way to find out? I’ve also been told that I have a “full-blood” Cherokee gg-grandmother on my mother’s side, but I don’t know as much history on my mother’s side, except that they were from the Bedford, VA area. Growing up, I used to be proud of my “Cherokee” & native heritage. After listening to your information, I sure hope that none of my ancestors were truly Cherokee, based on their despicable acts. I hope that what you’ve described...that claiming to be “Cherokee” was an attempt at maintaining safety...was what was truly going on. Thank you again for this information. What’s the best way to determine the nature of my native heritage? Can it be determined through DNA testing?

Thank you Dr. Smallwood. My ggg grandfather ,his wife and children were listed on the 1880 Edgecombe census in Lower Fishing Creek Township as ulattos with neighbors who are also listed as black or mullato. We did discover that my ggg grandfather was a runaway indentured servant,but it is beleived that he was found and returned to the owner. Is there any historical record of this community was Native American?

My question is for Dr. Smallwood. I viewed Tuscarora series 1, you provided Historical detailed information on the Federal/Nation however, we know the term "Native Americans/Mongolians" was not used during that time period but, you seem to be overly stating that term "Native American" which they were never called that! Also, your little word play trying to make it appear that the real "Indigenous American Indians/Negros" which were terms used closer to that time period were " African Slaves"!!! Which you as a " Scholarly" individual should know there were no imaginary Slave Ships to the Americas from Africa and there were NO "Native Americans/Mongolians" in those American Indian/Negro Territory! So, what's your real purpose here/providing half truths?

I would like to speak to you directly if possible

Can you post Dr Smallwood’s contact information please ?

My father is American Indian My mother is said to be native Americans … yet no one has told me the truth of the tribe.

Are you familiar with the surnames in Person Co, NC of Epps, Martin, Shepherd, Stewart/Stuart & Coleman (and possibly Trickey) and which tribe(s) they may have been associated with? Thank you!

Pretty much every tribe he named that was north of the Cape Fear ended up in the four counties that are part of the Lumbee Act and in Sampson County with the Coharie. The Nottoway are still in VA but if you visit them,, you'll find a lot of Chavis folks.

In the past 9-10 years, I’ve had more “white people” tell me some sort of story about their molungeon ancestors or 4th time “black” grandparent or something similar. It’s amazing to me that folks refuse to open their eyes and ask why now. Also, why the push to make sure that the “knowledge” is known? What other way not counting the “black church” would be better than “black schools” and scholars? History always repeats itself as it is now… Most folks that I’ve encountered, generalize their ancestry. In my opinion, it’s only because they really do know or they absolutely have no idea.

Because most people genuinely didn't know... until testing with ancestry companies and you get stuff like Egyptian and West African and see connections to white cousins with African and Indigenous haplogroups while also wondering why you come across nothing but brick walls and made up stories and trees trying to piece these people to "white" people... when they don't. A lot of us do want the truth because we want them recognized truthfully and accurately.. as they should be

@@elijaheelhajjbey7844 I hear you but that is BS. Africans were brought here because it was more convenient. Some blacks escaped slavery early and joined native tribes. Any black indians were just Africans who were absorbed into the people culturally. The historical moors are Arabs, Berbers then later some blacks. Noble Drew Ali told many lies

But were they really african or indian from the Caribbean islands?

See nobody wanted to believe me when I said that ADOS history is OLDER than 1619. Which is ONE of the reasons that whole 1619 Project is problematic.
