Welcome to Black Red Roots.org!
Many people believe racial and ethnic groups in North America have always lived as separately as they do now. However, segregation was neither practical nor preferable when people who were not native to this continent began arriving here. Europeans needed Indians as guides, trade partners and military allies. They needed Africans to tend their crops and to build an infrastructure.

Later, as the new American government began to thrive, laws were drafted to protect the land and property the colonists had acquired. These laws strengthened the powers of slave owners, limited the rights of free Africans and barred most Indian rights altogether. Today, black, white and red Americans still feel the aftershock of those laws.

In June of 2009 the federal government has asked that a lawsuit alleging that the great Apache leader’s remains be returned to his family descendents. The remains were allegedly taken by the Skull and Bones secret society members in 1918 from Fort Sill, Oklahoma.

 

Geronimo’s descendents seek to rebury his remains near his birthplace in New Mexico’s. This highlights the Native American’s desire to be with the land and to dwell in the place of their birth which is believed to be the place and land that was entrusted to them for care.

CENSUS 2010

 

The 2010 Census provides an opportunity to document your Native American ancestry. It is critical that all Native Americans self-identify as “Native Americans” or “Native Americans in combination with One or More races” when completing their 2010 Census questionnaires! The Census is the single most important event in America that drives all “Federal Formula” and “Need Based” funding decisions for the next ten year Period. It guides charitable services and grant programs to meet the needs of Mixed Blood Indians that are not enrolled in Federal Recognized Tribes. So, be sure to mark your Census, “Native American” or “Native American in combination with One or More races”.

THE LONG JOURNEYS 

Many African Americans have not heard of the ‘Trail of Tears’. This is through no fault of theirs. It is because it is another example of the injustices that have occurred in the United States, and so it is not very publicized or scarcely mentioned in the history books.
