THE ORIGINAL BLACK PRE-COLUMBUS ERA NATIVES. 

DID YOU KNOW?

The Cherokee tribe celebrated new moon ?  
Not only did they keep the new moon festivals, but they also kept the new year during spring contrary to their Europeans counterparts who kept new year in January.
The astonishing fact is that they even call it the corn festival, the Biblical name for the first month of the year is Abib, which means the ear of corn. 
the question is why so many coincidences with the Holy Bible? Our only conclusion they are descended from the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Black Indians are Native American people — defined as Native American due to being affiliated with Native American communities and being culturally Native American – who also have significant African American heritage.[3] 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 Choctaw, Creek and Cherokee, have a significant degree of African and often European ancestry as well.
Historically, certain Native American tribes have had close relations with African Americans, especially in regions where slavery was prevalent or where free people of color have historically resided. Members of the Five Civilized Tribes participated in holding enslaved African Americans in the Southeast and some enslaved or formerly enslaved people migrated with them to the West on the Trail of Tears in 1830 and later during the period of Indian Removal. In peace treaties with the US after the American Civil War, the slaveholding tribes, which had sided with the Confederacy, were required to emancipate slaves and give them full citizenship rights in their nations. In controversial actions, since the late 20th century, the Cherokee, Creek and Seminole nations tightened their rules for membership and at times excluded Freedmen who did not have at least one ancestor listed as Native American on the early 20th-century Dawes Rolls.
