I like the Tuscarora because even though other people who are occupying their land in what is now the US State of North Carolina. The Tribe's members from the State of New York always comes back to North Carolina to check up on their land!

[@ShayneMarrelli]

Yes, I was very thankful to have traveled down with them in 2015. I was very humbled to hold a 300 year old wampum belt in my hand. And learned quite a bit.

[@rubengutierrez5102]

In fact, all of the land from Hertford County NC to Johnston County, NC is Tuscarora, real rap, no cap!

[@ShayneMarrelli]

Yes, u r correct. I have been to the Tuscarora Homecoming with the Lewiston NY Tuscaroras. We traveled down to Indian Woods Baptist Church NC, amongst other Tuscarora original historical spots. It was a great learning experience!

I was a student of the NWSD and learned along side many Tuscarora students. They can sometimes be hard to warm up to, but once you make friends with them, you make friends for life. The Tuscarora truly are awesome. God bless the Tuscarora people.

[@firstnamelastname7857]

I live near a tusky Rez, some are good people but If I were to compare them to rezs in surrounding areas I would say a majority of the people from tusky have lost their way. Especially in the passed couple years. None the less they’re great fucking dancers.

Do you mean Cheroenhaka? Cherokee are a different tribe. Yes, they are Iroquoian-speaking people, but the Cherokee are different than the Cheroenhaka-Nottoway :)

[@cadlentosky-nottaway543]

My family name is “Nottaway” I always wondered it it was part of the “Nottaway” tribe. I know later on we identified ourselves as Anishinabe. We live on Anishinabe Tanakewin (Anishinabe Territory). Specifically we are landed in Maigen Ajik in QC side. Basically we live in the bush lol 😂

@@emitabaulenu maybe so 7th great grandma was Cheroenhaka-but is this Nottoway? There is also Cherokee as her grandson married a Cherokee woman(5th great grandma). Cherokee from my father's side on the Crow side and Free-Casiah(Kizziah) was Tuscarora. Still learning thanks!

Hey, I’m pretty white my guy. I smoke dance/men’s traditional and I’m half Mohawk native. I’ve done it ever since I was real little. I have a lot of ancestry that is both white and non-white. It’s not the color of the skin. Delve deep and find out who you are. You’ll be surprised. And then even if you find a slight bit of native, you’re still native.❤️

Go visit the Rez in NY or Four Oaks down in NC!

[@CuriousOne90]

@@ShayneMarrelli thanks

[@ShayneMarrelli]

@Rusell Shaw Yes, they left NC around 300 years ago, because of the new explorers (Europeans from Bern Switzerland) and the wars that ensued. I am not too sure about the disassociation, but I think it may have something to do with the newer claims of ancestry down there. Whomever was left there had their ancestry changed largely, due to the Natives that remained also got sold as slaves, or raped and murdered. So the bloodlines were totally severed and changed, which r different of those that had left and aligned with the 6 Nations in the North 300 years back. And the ancestral claimants down there don't have enough blood quantum maybe, but I'm just guessing...

[@donnacramer4422]

The one in NY is in Niagara Falls. I live about 15 minutes from that one

[@firstnamelastname7857]

@@donnacramer4422 Probably not the best idea like I’ve said in a previous comment, the tuskys in NY have lost their ways. Very corrupt people in their “legislation”... better off hitting the primary source in NC. The only way you’ll be of interest to them is if you own a smoke shop or make big money.
