My gg grandmother was a native American in South Carolina. I wish this video sound was better, especially where the different people are speaking. I want to find out everything that I can about South Carolina history, because I am writing a book about my family there.

I agree. They are not what would a researcher called the legal Indians like the Cherokees were and are today.

[@keithmccaslyn2527]

I just said this to my children. They don't want us to know WE ARE THE NATIVE OF AMERICA. It would cause too much research and payouts. I told them don't focus on the skin color but gain the info and redistribute it to your family. That same sneaky shit they did.. stole our knowledge then killed us... We'll take that shit back my loves and live purely in your light 🧬

We just gone ignore that most of the tribes in South Carolina were darked skinned and were killed through Paper genocide

Did you know that the Catawba Indians was one of the most notorious slave catchers/owners in America (one of the few tribes that owned black people as slave and didn't freed them until 1886) so notorious in fact that runaway slaves would rather get captured by whites folks instead of them meaning at some point your ancestors, owned your ancestors...

Hey I know this random af but in a nut shell I recently started doing research on my family lineage and it has taken me to Rockingham North Carolina and the last name Goins, a Goinstown and a couple other interesting things. Does any of this give a vibe? Any help is appreciated.
