If Our Fellow U.S. Citizens Are Made Aware Of Our True “HIS Stories,” Then They Will Love and Recognize, Acknowledge And Respect Us For Our Chief And Foremost Contributions. The number of Black Americans with an Indian ancestor was once estimated at about one third of the total and is considered to be much higher in Latin America. Somewhere out there lost and hidden in reservations, ghettos, prisons, farms, ranches and “in plain sight” totally unaware of their rich and diverse “His story” of survival are our indigenous spirits waiting to be joined with our still bleeding hearts and empty souls. The following timeline will give you a brief look at some of the “His story” that was overlooked or changed to favor Spanish and European positions. The movement of Afrikans to other continents would have to have taken place during Pangaea, a period when the Afrikan and American continents were joined together, as indicated by the similarity of tropical plants, animals, geographic traits, and their shapes fitting together like a piece of a puzzle, before the continental drifts separated the landmasses into the 7 major continents, known today as Afrika, North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Austrlia and Antarctica. Some Ancient Black Native Nations of America before and after Columbus include: The Washitaw of the Lousiana/MidWest The Yamasee of the South East The Iroquois The Cherokee Indians The Blackfoot Indians The Pequot and Mohegans of Connecticut The Black Californians (Calafins) (CAL in California literally means Black, after the name of the Great Mother KALi/Queen KALifa The Olmes of Mexico The Darienite of Panama A likely timeline: April, 1502 European slavers arrived in “The New World.” This ship brought the new governor of Hispaniola, Nicolas de Ovando and Africans, which later escaped and fled into the woods amongst the Indians. These Africans were able to hide amongst the Indians because the original American Indians were simply the people labeled Negroes (meaning blacks) by the original Spanish explorers. Because they were all black, it was not always easy to distinguish the runaway Africans from the original indigenous Black American Indians. December 25, 1522 “African and Indians” on a plantation owned by Diego Columbus, on the island of Hispaniola, rose and murdered their masters and overseers. 1523 Hernando Cortes was given a Royal Order to keep Indians in their villages, apart from Africans at all costs. 1526 Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon, a wealthy Spanish official in the city of Santo Domingo on Hispaniola, founded a colony at or near the mouth of the Pee Dee River in eastern South Carolina. As a result of this, Black American Indians of the Pee Dee River became the first colony on this continent to practice the belief that all people –newcomer- and native-are created equal and are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 1527 At a Spanish headquarters in Mexico City, Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza reported that Africans had chosen a King and agreed to kill all the Spaniards and the Indians that were with them. 1538 Slave born Estevanico led the first thorough exploration of the American southwest by Coronado and others. 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh’s English newcomers perished, secondary to greed for possessions, at Roanoke Island and were referred to as the “Lost Colony.” 1607 Captain John Smith founded Jamestown, Virginia already owned by the Algonquin Confederacy. The attempt at colonization was also a failure. 1685 African and Native Slaves escaped and formed a maroon society, the Saramaka people of Surinam in South America. 1690 to 1770 American Indians and Africans cleared land, introduced African rice culture, navigated river vessels, and delivered the mail in the Carolinas. 1728 Black Indians in Venezuela, led by Juan Andresote, ran a successful shipping operation, which after much battling and warfare, took Spain five years to eliminate. 1739 Slave fugitives living in St. Augustine built a fort to protect their families and stem British incursions. March 5, 1770 Crispus Attucks, a Black Natick Indian was the first to fall in the Boston Massacre. 1774 Patriot James Madison wrote about a slave revolt suggesting that all references to this type of strength be “concealed and suppressed. 1803 American Indian: York, the slave of William Clark led the famous Lewis and Clark expedition and served as the ambassador of good will to foreign nations. 1809 Edward Rose, a Black American Indian Cherokee, ventured with Ezekial Williams to Yellowstone, the first land expedition into its beaver country. 1815 Paul Cuffee, a Dartsmouth Black American Indian (Wampanoag/African), personally sponsored a migration of U.S. Black American Indians to Africa. Known as the father of blacks “back to Africa” movements in this country. However, there is little confirmation of all blacks in North American being taken from Africa as millions are indigenous to North America and that fact is suppressed and hidden in North America. July 1816 Armed Forces and Black American Indian Creeks under Chief McIntosh stood before Fort Negro, manned by Black American Indian officers and men under the director of Commander Garcia, and demanded its surrender. After a battle, Commander Garcia was captured and executed. This massacre allowed the U.S. invaders to carry surviving Black American Indian men, women and children back to slavery in Georgia. January 1818 General Andrew Jackson, with two mounted regiments and a fleet at his command, marched on Billy Bowlegs’s town and by May 24, captured Pennsacola declaring Florida as U.S. property. This displaced and seized millions of Black American Seminole and other Indians in this region. 1819 The U.S. paid Spain $5 million for Florida so that Jackson’s seizure and murder of Indians Black and Red, would appear to be a real estate purchase. 1822 Secretary of State reported that in Florida, there were five to six hundred maroon Negroes or Black American Indians living wild in the woods. 1823 Seminoles agreed to live on reservations. 1826 Seminole King Philip (Emathla) protested again the disruption of Black and Red Indians lives by the white intruders. 1834 Many Black North American Indians, Africans and slaves escaped to the islands of the Caribbean where slavery was abolished. 1835 Warfare erupted between U.S. troops and Seminoles. An allege cause of this was the seizure by a U.S. officer of Chief Osceola’ Black North American Indian wife. Seminole leaders were tricked into signing a treaty agreeing to leave Florida for reservation land in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Seminoles wiped out U.S. Major Francis Dade’s entire relief force in the famous Dade Massacre. January 1837 General Jessup stormed Chief Osceola’s headquarters. Of the fifty-five men, fifty-two were Black North American Indians. Artist George Caitlin painted a magnificent portrait of Chief Osceola when he and other Seminoles were held captive at Fort Moultrie in 1837. Caitlin never painted or mentioned that Osceola’s wife, and personal bodyguard of fifty-two warriors was Black North American Indian Seminoles. The battle of Lake Okeechohee won by a small band of Black North American Indian guerrilla fighters, claimed 28 U.S. dead and 112 wounded, and only ten Black North American Indian Seminoles dead. This battle was the most decisive upset the U.S. suffered in more than four decades of warfare in Florida. Colonel Taylor claimed a victory, since the Black North American Seminoles abandoned the battle scene. 1849 The U.S. Attorney General ruled that Black North American Indian Seminoles were still slaves under U.S. law. 1856 The U.S. declared that Black North American Indian Seminoles were not a part of the more white like American Indian Creek Nation, subject to its laws, but independent. July 4, 1870 The Black North American Indian Seminole Nation negotiated its re-entrance into the U.S. by formal treaty. December 1873 Chief John Horse, of the Black North American Indian Seminole Nation with Snake Warrior, walked into General Augur’s office and entered a plea for “his people” to have a home. April 25, 1875 While tracking a party of twenty-five stolen horses near the Pecos River at Eagles’ Nest, white Lieutenant John L. Bullis was rescued by Black North American Indian Sergeant John Ward. Also included in the tracking party were Black North American Indians Trumpeter Isaac Payne and Private Pompey Factor. These men were later awarded for their honor and valor with the highest military decoration, The Congressional Medal of Honor. 1885 Johannes King, an African who lived among the Matawai Indians in the Guianas, recalled struggles his people endured to remain alive on their homeland during decades of warfare. 1970 A Seminole Black North American Negro Indian graveyard outside Bracketville, Texas was set aside to mark the final resting places of Pompey Factor, Isaac Payne, Adam Payne and other Black North American Indian people who had no rest while they were alive.
