THESE ARE 19TH AND EARLY 20TH CENTURY PHOTOS OF MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAWS;,A CREEK; NEZ PERCE AND A STATUE OF A NATIVE AMERICAN.
PROFESSOR GATES AND HIS EXPERTS RAISED DOUBT THAT BLACKS AND NATIVE AMERICAN MIXED EXCEPT IN VERY FEW INSTANCES IN HISTORY. GIVING AMMUNITION TO THE DOUBTERS. YET, HE LEFT OUT THE UNIQUE HISTORY OF THE CHOCTAW INDIANS. MANY CHOCTAWS REMAINED IN MISSISSIPPI EVEN AFTER THEIR 1830'S REMOVAL. THEY WERE HIRED BY PLANTATION OWNERS TO DO HOUSE WORK, COOK AND YES, TO EVEN DO FIELD WORK, DURING THE TIME OF SLAVERY AND AFTERWARD,
MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE PLACED FAMILY PHOTOS ON THE WEB IN ORDER TO PROVE THEIR INDIAN HERITAGE THEIR EFFORTS ARE SCORNED AND RIDICULED BY MANY ACCUSING THEM OF NOT WANTING TO BE BLACK, WHAT SON WOULD GIVE UP HIS FATHER JUST BECAUSE OF THE PREJUDICES OF ANOTHER?
GIVING UP YOUR HERITAGE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN GIVING UP YOUR PARENTAGE - AND NO MAN KNOWINGLY CHOOSES TO BE A BASTARD.
A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, BUT EVEN A THOUSAND WORDS SIGNIFIES NOTHING WHEN THERE IS NO PROOF TO SUPPORT THEM. SO I HAVE EMPLOYED A NEW TACT IN THIS PHOTO OF WORDS PROVING INDIAN HERITAGE.
I'M INTRODUCING PHOTOS OF MY ANCESTORS IN THE MIDST OF PHOTOS OF IMPORTANT CHOCTAWS AND OTHER FAMOUS INDIANS LIVING DURING OR NEAR THE TIMES OF MY RELATIVES LIFETIME.
