Erased History of Dark-Skinned Aborigine Tribe of America: True Ancestor of African Americans! Everything has changed now about how African Americans think about their ancestors and identity. Until now, there has been a common belief that all African Americans are descendants of African slaves brought through the Transatlantic slave trade. It was believed that they were outsiders who came from Africa and that their ancestors were slaves with no identity other than this. But now, the hidden and erased part of history tells that the ancestors of African Americans were native to America, compared to the majority of the White population of America today, which are the actual outsiders coming from Europe. So, what evidence shows African Americans are descendants of the Aborigines of America? Native American tribes were incredibly diverse, representing many cultures, languages, customs, and physical characteristics. Contrary to the monolithic portrayal often seen in history, these tribes exhibited profound differences not only in their lifestyles, regions, and traditions but also in their appearances, including skin tones. A significant portion of this diversity includes dark-skinned indigenous peoples, sometimes referred to as the “Dark-Skinned Aborigine Tribe of America.“ These tribes, whose members were often described as having darker skin, are believed to be the ancestors of a notable segment of African Americans today. 1. Washitaw (Ouachita) Nation The Washitaw, also spelled Ouachita, are one of the most well-known dark-skinned indigenous groups in the United States. They are believed to be one of the oldest aboriginal peoples of America, with a deep history in the Mississippi Valley and Louisiana regions. 2. Black Caribs (Garifuna) The Garifuna, also known as Black Caribs, are a mixed-race people with roots in both African and indigenous Caribbean ancestry. They primarily lived in the Caribbean islands, particularly St. Vincent, and were descendants of Africans who integrated with the native Carib and Arawak peoples. The Garifuna culture and identity survived European colonization, and they maintain a strong presence today, particularly in Central America. 3. Yamasee The Yamasee were another dark-skinned indigenous tribe that lived in the Southeastern United States, particularly in present-day Georgia and South Carolina. They had close relations with African slaves who escaped from plantations, and over time, many Yamasee people intermarried with Africans. 4. Black Seminoles The Black Seminoles were originally a group of African Americans who escaped slavery and sought refuge with the Seminole tribe in Florida. The Seminoles themselves were a mix of various Native American groups, including the Creek, and they welcomed these dark-skinned Africans into their communities. 5. Moors Some historical accounts refer to dark-skinned Native Americans as “Moors,“ a term often associated with African and Middle Eastern peoples. This label was used by European explorers and settlers, who, upon encountering dark-skinned indigenous tribes in the Americas, mistakenly associated them with the Moors of North Africa. It's essential for Black individuals to comprehend black history to truly understand their cultural heritage and identity. Watching documentaries about black culture offers deep insights into the challenges and successes of Black communities. Examining the history of slavery and its effects on Black lives is crucial for recognizing and addressing systemic injustices. Black literature offers a diverse range of stories that mirror the variety and strength of Black experiences. Reséndez, A. (2016).
