Black Indians in the United States

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Black Indigenous Americans are African Americans who have Native American ancestry. Many Indigenous peoples of the Eastern Woodlands, such as the Narragansett, Pequot, Wampanoag and Shinnecock, as well as people from the nations historically from the Southeast, such as Seminole, Creek and Cherokee, have a significant degree of African and often European ancestry as well.[1]
