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.

"We Shall Remain" is a PBS Series on the Native American History previewing in April 2009.

We Shall Remain is a groundbreaking mini-series and provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. Five 90-minute documentaries spanning three hundred years tell the story of pivotal moments in U.S. history from the Native American perspective.

TAKING THE THIRD STEP

The third step in finding your Native American roots is to visit the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) located in your region. These offices contain in most instances the national census records dating from the early 1800’s to the late 1900’s.

TAKING THE SECOND STEP 

The second step involves using the information you collected in Step #1, and begin to diagram your family tree if you don’t already have a diagram of it. If you have diagrams of your family tree begin to add branches to it or more specific details that you learned from speaking with your family elders.

TAKING THE FIRST STEP 

The first step to learning about your Black Red Roots is always to check your own personal resources to determine what is available to you before venturing out to other outside resources. What this statement means is that there is an enormous wealth of information within your own family.
