Forget the approved black history
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Indians
This article took me back for a moment because of this paragraph
"the first example of African slaves' escaping from European colonists and being absorbed by Native Americans was recorded in 1526. In June of that year, Lucas Vasquez de Ayllon established a Spanish colony near the mouth of the Pee Dee River in what is now eastern South Carolina. The Spanish settlement was named San Miquel de Guadalupe. Amongst the settlement were 100 enslaved Africans. In 1526, the first African slaves fled the colony and took refuge with local Native Americans[7]
Intermarriage between African slaves and Native Americans began occurring in the early 1600s"
The article presents that Africans and native Indians were settling in what is now South Carolina, almost a 100 years before Jamestown. For me, it exposes the falsehood about how the first Africans came to this country.
The truth (and Indians has known this info all along) is that the Native African family and the Native Indian family share a hidden history long before Jamestown.
Just another piece of history and I present it for anyone interested.

I am a very proud member of this group of people. My grandmother made sure that our entire family was well informed of our heritage. I was so inspired of this revelation that while attending Rutgers University I had a special topics course titled " Black Indians" which was taught by Dr. Katrina Hazzard-Donald. I have so many books, writings and other readings about this. Some of which was assigned and others from my own research. The one thing that intrigued me the most about the history of Native Americans was the story of how so many were " supposedly" wiped out. I found it very hard to believe that anyone could completely wipe out the amount of people that was equivalent to the size of the state of Texas all at one time and no one notices. I don't believe those stories in fact I believe that Native Americans were categorized by skin tone and hair texture and segregated in that fashion. Fascinating information and a major eye and mind opening learning experience.
