- In this episode, Michael interviews Dr. Arwin Smallwood, Professor and Chair, North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University Department of History and Political Science and Carter G. Woodson Distinguished Lecturer for the Association for the Study of African American Life & History. Dr. Smallwood will discuss the Tri-Racial Identity of Tuscarora, Meherrin, Nottoway, and other Native Americans in North Carolina, Virginia and East to West during the Michael Eure Show.
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!
Wow! My name is Sharon Mother of Eagles Shelton. I'm Narragansett-Pequot-Pokanoket by descendancy and enrolled in the Pokanoket Tribe. My great grandmother (who married my Narragansett-Pequot-Pokanoket great grandfather) always told us her people are the "mud people" who lived by the (Roanoke?) River. Her maiden name was Harriet Terry. Later, my late mother worked for FEMA and was dispatched to the Meherrin and other NC tribes during a spate of Tornadoes around 2011. During a visit with the tribe, she met an elder who she said looks just like my brother. Somehow their conversation led to her telling him of my grandmother's claims. That's when he told her that my gr. grandmother was likely Meherrin. I'm trying to confirm this.
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!
Haii cuzzin, Tuscarora here.🙂
@@IndigenousEmpressXIMy 2nd great grandfather was a Blount he was born in Pitt county in 1846
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.😐

@@michaelm.c.hampton1157 What the gvmnt tell you who you are? Staaaap
Absolutely right.
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.
I haven't heard him pull ONE primary source where this info of 700 Africans came from...that's concerning to hear/notice
Thank you Dr. Smallwood and Michael. You have provided very crucial and informative details to add on the quest for answers underlying my Lumbee roots and my tri-racial lineage. Very grateful to you both. The history you provided that illuminates my personal genealogical research is a great gift.
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".
Who he's saying are African are indigenous Caribbean ppl who like the ppl in the I.s. mixed with the indigenous European
@@bellaklouisaevans so you're saying that the slaves from Spanish territories were not of Sub-Sahara or North Africa? "Indigenous European" in southern Spain was heavily mixed with Arab and Moores.
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.
Lumbee here...thank you very much. This is the most information of the history regarding mixed raced Indians that I have come across in my research.
You should do some content on your research too.
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 .
Thank you Dr. Smallwood and Michael Eure great very important lecture.
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
Excellent presentation - Thanks
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.
This is an outstanding historical presentation.
This good it shows how we can love each other and not be divided. . It a good thing to stay in family love
Very great 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.
Gratitude you all
I really wish Henry Louis Gates would sit down with Dr. Smallwood!
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?
Can I obtain a copy of the power point presentation?
@4:00....do we have any African country verification of Africans and fighting on behalf of Europeans. Where did these Africans come from specifically i.e. the country?
I like your question
They were former slaves from other countries and Ralph Lane brought them to Roanoke Island. I grew up in NE NC and have never heard this before. But then again, we didn't hear much about African or Native history back in the day
@@gailbracy3813 thanks. There's still a lot left out of the video. Lots of unanswered questions.
@@MCfact1827 I am stunned about how much history I never knew. I grew up in NE NC. My grandma lived near Marvin Jones' relatives in Cofield. All this coming out now has me completely revisiting everything I thought I knew. Thank you
@@gailbracy3813 your welcome. Just remember, always look things up. 👍
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!
Those surnames are associated with the Sappony Tribe [Highplains]
@@TheJerseygurlxo Thank you. 🙏🏻
I went to school with most of those names in pine tops nc
Yes those are what we know as Sappony they are part of the Saponi Nation
Teach it Brother!!
Very informative. Thank you!
My great-grandmother was born in Bertie County.
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 ?
Mysterious and very interesting!
Could u send me some Tuscarora last names,am in the island and throughout my researching i came across some names of Tuscarora Pemberton on a list of is this true ?
Can you post Dr Smallwood’s contact information please ?
I would like to know where the lumber Indians fit into this.
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.
How do I contact Dr Allgood? DNA native American research
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
Where are the images of the Indigenous Americans? Why does he not specifically mention them, or that Native American and Indigenous American populations are different?
RALEIGH NC 919
My father is American Indian My mother is said to be native Americans … yet no one has told me the truth of the tribe.
Where these Africans or Swarty Europeans (Moors & Sephardic Jews)??
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
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.
My 2nd great grandfather Amos Blount was born in 1846 in Pitt county north Carolina he was a negro his surname is Tuscarora Indian
But were they really african or indian from the Caribbean islands?
You gotta keep reading my brother is giving his podcast. He got it all wrong. The Europeans was the black Europeans that came over here. You read the history that white people wrote they took our land. We are the black Indians that was here here for 100,000s of years, do some research
I agree with your prospective he use the term African much to freely my ancestors are the name of there tribe if they were black ,white of brown.,I also don’t believe you have to be educated to describe the history.
My grandfather is supposedly from that tribe ive only seen pictures with my grandmother thou. I dont claim it because i never knew him
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?
I think it does , it's not too specific with actual tribes,but u could learn how much native ,European, African dna you have. I have also found many family members, and people that I share certain dna with.
Great presentation. But the brother forgot to mention San Miguel De Guadalpe (South Carolina) in 1526 the colony of 700 failed and the 100 Africans they brought rebelled by burning buildings then they disappeared into the wilderness. It was the first slave rebellion in the united States
What you failed to state was this was the first Spanish Colony of the European by Spain, what does that mean we was already here and the rebellion was enslaved Native Americans not Africans and they was captured and sent to Santo Domingo which is the Dominican Republic if you do your history not his story you will find out that the African Slave Trade is told in reverse. Study the Moors they master travel and navigation
@@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
Im in Virginia also half black and Indian black foot
No offense but what is half black, your complexion is brown or is it black. Because a complexion is not a nationality nor race.
You were discriminated by Walter beckler one drop rule yep my great Grady aunt her name was at the Arthur sorrows she proved she wasn't black but she was native American went to court and everything
This should be to all r children it’s the truth
Drake's soldiers could have been Sephardic Jews and Moors (Black Europeans) escaping the Inquisition.
There were Black Europeans. Not all Black people come from Africa.
They were second generation of Black Europeans exiled to West Africa and the Caribbeans.
Thats who they were...Genealogy doesnt lie.❤
I thought we were done with the Coonary. It just takes a simple check. What Africans and Siberian she's blood in that fight. Tragic!
Why is it that behind everyone “black” that has done anything (according to the narrative) some powerful white man gave him something or brought them somewhere? Oh yeah and they are from Africa & formerly enslaved? And they always running…. Yal kill me.
Bo such oerson as a full blooded black Indian.
Hmm I wonder why he Dibbles around North Virginia? New dominion before the old Dominion?? Bro please talk about our empire here Yes in North Virginia.
THEY WERE NOT AFRICANS!!!!
Exactly. He wore that African angle out!
There were BLK natives already here in America.
Facts 👍🏾
So we are talking about Americanized Africans
The word black is so confusing.
What's sad is he knows better than that. Melonated mans greatest fear losing the scraps from his masters. Just comfortable. I'm outdone.
Since time started we have had a type of slavery
And then we're mixed with Terry family and the curry family from the Monacan Drive to Tuscarora soon and then scotch Swedish whilst and my mother who is first generation Iris 50 test that's me a dark Beauty
Boat houses homes on the water
Remember Doc, Black is indigenous, you can’t say black and indigenous.
You've been listening to Dane Calloways fake created history. He, like many, are only stealing from the community. Whether looking for donations for a college, a library or like many selling geology research. The money only goes into their pockets.
He speaks what the commanders can understand it’s not out of disrespect, if you was in a desert without water for a week, you can’t just drink a glass of water it will destroy your digestive system, you have to be spoon feed.
I have these tribes in my Bloodline and there's absolutely NO African....C'mon Doc, stop the indoctrination!
I have these tribes in my Bloodline and there's absolutely NO African....C'mon Doc, stop the indoctrination
I'm try Rachel from Virginia from Amherst Essex County Cumberland yeah I think I think we were Andrew Jackson's slaves because back then in the early late 16th my great great grandmother's name was Martha Jackson
Great presentation. Thanks so much.
