I purchased this DVD and I have to say that I watched it 10 Times!!!! :-) I am so happy that my elders are starting to speak up and out so those who are "lost" or brainwashed will start to wake up and question what we call "U.S. History." Personally, TRUE U.S. History consists of those who made this country what it is today. Native, African & European American influences.
I also wished they would have focused on Southeastern US Indians. For instance, Virginia; North & South ... Read More

I'm a black american, but when I was at 11 or 12 years old, my wonderful father told me that his grandmother on his father's side was Half-Cherokee Indian. After doing some reading and research on American Indians, I have become more proud of my Cherokee Indian heritage than my so called African heritage(due to the fact Indians have suffered the worst oppression in our country and for a black man to embrace or find his ancestry other than African is still considered wrong in the black community). ...

I really enjoyed this documentary-style movie. I'm an African-American with Cherokee ancestory, which can especially be seen on my materal grandmothers side of the family. It really opens your eyes and makes you want to find out about where your family linage comes from. It explores the questions of how we came together, how we slit apart, and some of the difficulties we face in modern-day society. Everyone should watch this movie.

The history of my own ancestors is reflected in this documentary. I descend from a mixed people, often called Melungeons, or Tri-racials: Indian,Black,& White bloodlines. My great great grandfather, D.C. Goings, was Wappoo/Wapoo Indian, a Cusabo People from South Carolina. He is mentioned in a book by Lawrence and Ruth Hipp about the history of Grover Hill,located in Paulding County, Ohio.
I am a member of the Notoweega Nation, a multi-tribal nation, and a Notoweega Pow Wow was held June 5, ... Read More
