    I spend an inordinate amount of time unlearning the utter garbage I was "taught" during my wasted years of compulsory education. I can only imagine the challenges faced by oppressed cultures when trying to sift through the b.s., so to speak. Enjoying your videos. Thank you!

    A lot of the indigenous people were taken to what we now refer to as the Caribbean. This was to disconnect them from the land. The imported Africans were interbred with the original inhabitants that were not killed, again in order to disconnect them from their land. The indigenous women who married the Europeans had children who eventually became the chiefs of the tribes due to their ability to trade with the settlers and their knowledge of their culture, language and ways. This is also why theywere trusting and believed them because they didn't think that their family would betray them.

      @@meb777 You're right, the top technology of the day was a SAIL... if you've ever been fishing and got on a small boat with a toiling engine, you've been on something with more power and ability to travel than what was available then. It would take literally months to travel from Africa to the Americas and that was if you left st the right time to take advantage of the winds. They never mention the captain's who died at sea or got lost due to poor calculations and misguided winds. I mean with all of the technology we have today the weather man is still one of the most misdiagnosed professionals today.

    • @TashaXi

      Monica Grandy Apparently, your family is descendants of Capt. Paul Cuffe, a Northern Algonquin Indian man. Many Montauk, Wampanoag and Shinnecock Indians are related to him. ‘Cuffe’ in the Iroquois language means ‘black or dark skinned person’. He allegedly made many trips to the Chesapeake. He met his most known wife while on a mission in West Africa and brought her to America, but it seems he had several wives/women. Nottoway, Kecotoughn, Chesapeake and a few other tribes were in that area.

    By the way, repping VA myself, hampton roads. Still in the beginning stages of genealogy. Thanks for the information in your videos. What is interesting is many of the attributes given to "native americans" their intelligence, wit, athleticism, and beauty are embodies by us so called "negros". The physical stature described and shown in many renderings is that of us copper colored people. I dont know many "native americans" but i would imagine very few are naturally born with these physiques. I'm not saying all people in the americas when columbo got here were copper to deep brown. However the majority may well have been. The ones who werent may have been key in our so subjegation from south america to the artic as they aligned themselves with people who looked more like them or less like us. Or were first conqured by the europeans and forced to help subjegate the "negro".

    WOW, caught me COMPLETELY off guard with this today. This is Vastly interesting to me. I am a Direct Descendant of William the First and already knew the family history with Westover and what not. It had always been an argument in the fam whether or not we were (slave-owners) during this era.How could we not be being so wealthy at a time when most weren't. I know that the First was sent here in 1669 by King Charles the II and was aloted 3000 acres on the James river. He was also a member of the house of burgeses (Colony parliament), You prob already know everything I know. The "Nottaway Tribe" was a story that my great-great- aunt would tell all of us kids when we were little that there was an entire branch of "Byrd's" that carried our name Not because william owned them but because he was DEAD in love with a "Dark Angel" and had had Two children in secrecy with this indeginous princess. He never owned them but was totally infatuated with their lifestyle and Beauty. There was also a story about Bacon's revenge and how the Tribe was involved there as well. Time to drag the books out again. VERY COOL STUFF!!

    All I want to say is that as a Nottoway/Nansemond person is that our people were basically light skinned. The modern interpretation of mohogany is different than it was 300-400 years ago. Mohogany wood today is now stained to make it a much darker color. Natural mohogany is much lighter. Look up natural no stain mohogany wood. You also have to understand that our hair was straight and course. The braids were one or two braids hanging down the back or shoulders. Ie not cornrows. It is not until further mixing of races and ethnicities that you see hair texture and skin color starting to change. William Byrd also said that our people’s skin could be bleached out within two generations which meant it was not too dark in the fist place. You have to include all of the information given about the people to represent us correctly and authentically. I culturally feel misrepresented by this. You are right Byrd is a credible source when all of his information is given. What is your tribal identity? Thank you for your effort

    Nice video. My earliest known ancestor was mixed Indigenous Powhatan Indian and E. African who lived around the Jamestown, Virginia area. As a child in mid 1600s the Europeans started the Anglo-Indian war to grab land which my ancestors fought back but he was captured and taken as a prisoner of war. He was sent to Maryland to be one of the many Indentured servants of Doyne family and later sold to Governor William Stone after Doyne died. In 1663 he married a white Indentured servant Welsh woman whom they had children born free. Forward a few years later my ancestor filed a Freedom Suit in 1702 in the Charles County, Mayland district court and lost. Although his wife and children were free he remained a Indentured servant for life. At least one of their mixed race daughter's had three bastard children with my now European Stone family... which is how my 5th great grandmother came about in 1799. Today on average my family is 60% African and 40% European with Indigenous DNA.

    • @fetengineer9151

      Oh my mother's haplogroup is L3e1e which is East African. Her brother's DNA test reviled 1% Ethiopian and 1% Middle Eastern ancestry. Her other brother showed 1% Native American. In 1830 my mother's mother 5th grandfather was the only black person in Madison County, Kentucky (with documentation) to own slaves... which was his wife & children.
      My father's haplogroup is E-m4254 which is East African ancestry too. In 1917 his grandfather put on his Draft Card race... "Ethiopian". According to African Ancestry.com we belong to the Kota people of Gabon. Our earliest ancestor surnames in 1600 Americas are Mozingo and Mingo which could be gabonese?

    • @TashaXi
      @TashaXi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      FET Engineer I’m confused about the part about him being mixed with East African in the 1600s, when no East Africans was in Virginia then. Indigenous Americans also have the halo groups that you listed according to Dr. Fatou Diarra. Plus, the African Ancestry DNA company has already been exposed for being false and only testing.0001% of your DNA. Does his genealogy records say that his father was from East Africa or is that an assumption?

    • @fetengineer9151
      @fetengineer9151 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@TashaXiI certainly don't want to confuse anybody but according to the book COLONIAL CHESAPEAKE New Perspective it states the Mingo-Thomas family was of Irish, East Indian, African heritage. So since my mother maternal haplogroup is L3e1e (East Africa) and her brother's DNA results reviled Ethiopian and middle Eastern DNA and her other brother has Native American, I put 2 and 2 together and made that assumption. Her paternal (her father) haplogroup is the European chromosome R-M269. My DNA results shows high amounts of Scottish of 23% however keep in mind on average we all have about 31% of Nigerian. My paternal haplogroup is E-m4254 (East Africa). From our research both my parent's ancestry are from the same Jamestown area of Virginia. Both families around 1750 tie back into each other in the Port Tobacco, Charles County, Mayland area...

    • @fetengineer9151
      @fetengineer9151 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Also, I might add, I have close DNA matches to (Mozingo and Mingo) which could be the same they connect to the Clements family. Also, I have DNA connection to the Powhatan tribe, the Rolfe and Bolling families and to several other First Families of Virginia (FFV). So trying to figure this out can be very difficult to precisely determine the actual match due to my high amount of European ancestry/cousins... because it appears the Europeans were related thus automatically making me related and the same goes for my African side they all seem to be related as well. From what I can gather the Europeans captured several inhibits around Jamestown that were likely related making them all Indentured servants to several different FFVs around Virginia. My particular ancestor Joseph Mingo ended up in Maryland. Mingo marries a white Welsh Indentured servant woman whom they had tri-mixed children. So when this happens and then the tri-mixed children eventually have bastard babies with other FFVs masters then things can get very confusing to trace which in my case it has...

    • @TashaXi
      @TashaXi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      FET Engineer it sounds like Joseph Mingo was just a Mingo indian that was enslaved, not East African. Those dna put everyone in Africa. The Mingo surname already tells you that he was Iroquois.

    Anyways...
    My sixth great grandmother Delpha Stokes?
    She’s listed on word Pedia as 100% Choctaw!
    Everyone in that family are white people!
    So,
    It looks like I’m going to be officially recognized as a “CHOCTAW”,

I'm just seeing you now and how I got to you is interesting by looking this man up because my father carried this name that caused me to have the Byrd's name!!! My people are from Virginia but migrated to Northwest Alabama!!! I'm curious if we our family is associated with this people (Byrd's from there)!!! My Father told us that we had some Indian in US (siblings)!!! My grt grandmother had seven kids/Grandfather John Byrd(9kids)!!!! Just curious 🧐🧐🧐

    A couple points around 6:20.
    -- In VA, poorer free people of color were required to be "apprenticed" until they were 30 so they wouldnt be "a burden to the state". Edy Turner adopted several children, hiring them out as "apprentices" doesn't imply they were being brainwashed. th-cam.com/video/SGu2wxvQw7g/w-d-xo.html 29:00 - 33:00 has a good overview of that system.
    -- Free Negro in Virginia 1913 is available online as a pdf and discusses the relationships between the Nottoway, other Indians in the region, and free blacks there - their intermarriage, and the response of the surrounding white society to them.
    -- John Lawson's Voyage to Carolina is online, particularly at the end, he explains his views and experiences with the Tuscarora just a few years before he himself was killed by them.
    Best wishes

    Happy to find this (guess it found me). My family is from Southampton County. Not sure if we are Nottaways. I cannot get beyond the surnames Fiers and Vaughan. Mary Vaughan's (married a Fiers) mother is reported as Dicie Stevens. The trail stops there. Stevens doesn't seem to fit--not indigenous sounding.

  • @jilisaevans4360
    @jilisaevans4360 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    If your wanting to know where you cone from? Something that helped me, was to do the following:
    bear with the in correct grammar!
    1. The place your body yearns for.
    See what surname belongs to nation that is residing in that area.
    I.e Evans is Welsh. The white descendant of that surname reside in central America. The place of the so called grand canyon!
    2. Industrial influences such as; automotive, farming, medical.
    I.e the native people of Oklahoma were moved to the coast awhile the coastal native American were either transported by water to an adjacent coast of the same. Between 500 To 1000 mile coast as children. To avoid run away slaves (property)! The people of Baltimore are the native of Florida area, the people of Baltimore are the native of the central areas also.
    3. Resource management, and the business practice sustainment.
    Cotton?
    Prime resource, needed a particulate to sustain supply.
    A body that can sustain itself in hot environments. Then breed it, raise it, sell it. The owner of that body (pliable resource) would then emigrate to domestic/foreign markets there resource for economical sustaining insurances.
    4. Follow the trade market's history; A resource is refined to specific need or demand.
    5. Reclassification from land in which from; for what resources are needed for transport.
    Muscular, tall, easy going used for:
    Transport of goods
    Soldiers
    Gladiator sports
    Hybridization
    Attractive, Aggressive female, non complying to authorities, etc......black female:
    Sterilized
    Death
    Bedwench
    Or constantly sold.
    Note to us women with attitudes. We were sold, and murdered more so than the average. So look for decimation of tribes by fire, starvation, or disease.
    Aggressive males, look for decimation of tribes also however! Follow the trade market's history of security sustained practices.
    I.e. the grand parent to whom went into any armed conflict then later settled down after service. Follow the resources needed to fight there wars.
    We are considered chattel undisclosed! So since chattel can be applied and excluded. You can only get bison from where bison are from. You can only get seafood from the sea.
    So you can only get a type of body (people) from where that type of people are from. Then sell it to the market.
    Made in China, not made from.
    100% all natural, not from land in which grown or imitated from.

    Great information however I do think that the men were equally as important to agriculture and medicine but the men posed a physical threat to the Invaders. Also, the "African" slave trade numbers are misleading. And where these "Africans" end up is misleading as well.

    So that movie, Last of the Mohicans, were the Mohicans copper-colored, unlike how they depicted them in the movie or were they the Idians of asian persuasion, because that movie just resinated with my soul when I was a child. Also, why have the Indians with more asian features have a rememberence of what happened to their people with videos, pictures, reservations, etc, where we so-called copper colored Indians have hardly any stories, garb, rituals, traditions. I know it's coming out now. I think I saw some of us in Lousiana still keeping with traditions.

    • @Namastee0000
      @Namastee0000 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Mahican are an Eastern Algonquian Native American tribe that was Algonquian-speaking. As part of the Algonquian family of tribes, they were related to the abutting Lenape, who occupied territory to the south as far as the Atlantic coast. Yup, they were copper colored Americans per Webster's dictionary 1828 definition of an American.

    Dear Tasha - thank you so much for this ! As you know the color of Indigenous peoples of this region caused awful problems in their histories leading to the 1924 Racial Integerity Act in VA.

    • @trustingod0
      @trustingod0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That should tell you something about these colonizers we are dealing with. What I don't understand is, if we have all of this information, what are we doing with it? Why are we still laying up with them? Why are we still walking around among them as if everything is fine. What does learning about who we are accomplish if we already know what happened. Cant we learn about ourselves after we address the problem?

    • @TashaXi
      @TashaXi  6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Kofi Shabazz they initially won because we believed no one would be wicked enough not to honor the treaties. We had beaten them by warfare and the treaties were for us to stop attacking them. Also miscegenation and Christianity plays a big part. Our men rather fight each other than fight oppression. Our women rather buy bs than buy land. Too many of us are stuck.

      Just like the white settlers always knew. Eventually, the real aborigines will find their true heritage....they set up our battle to fight the Native Americans. This fight will go on for another 500 years. Remember why the colonizers only named 5 civilized tribes. Those tribes were lighter skinned and heavy interbredded with English, Asian & Aztecs. Its was about money & land.
      There were over 600 aborigines tribes in America. What happen to those 555 tribes? The Native Americans of today ALMOST ALWAYS SPEAK ONLY ABOUT PHENOTYPE!

      There are Williams in the tribe, but I am not sure if it is specifically a Nottoway surname. I would check the 1808 Nottoway Census. You can also contact the tribe, but I personally haven't heard back in two years.

    I can not confirm it. I did however come across a video produced by the BBC on the
    channel TheOriginalPeople/TH-cam th-cam.com/video/r6IrMjfbh6E/w-d-xo.html
    that refers to the aboriginals of the Americas.

THE BRAIDING OF HAIR IS JUST A POPULAR HAIRSTYLE FOUND IN MANY CULTURES. 2) THE NOTTOWAY TRIBE SPOKE AN ALGONQUIN RELATED LANGUAGE, THESE LANGUAGES ARE BASED ON ANCIENT SIBERIAN AND SOUTH EASTERN ASIA . THE NOTTOWAY DESCENDANTS NOW LOOK EVER BIT THE PART OF ITS ANCESTORS. PEOPLE OF AFRICAN DESCENT CLAIMING DIFFERENT ANCESTRIES IS A NORMAL PROCESS OF DISASSOCIATION FROM THE SHAME OF HAVING BEEN ONCE SLAVES AND THE RACIAL IMPLICATIONS OF IT. IT'S A SELF PROTECTING MECHANISM.

    • @TashaXi

      These people were not from Asia and most indigenous Americans are not of Asian descent. Algonquin language is not from Asia. And the majority of the Nottoway tribe look like me, so I know you know nothing about this tribe to speak on them.
