Newspaper Rock -- Where Native America Meets Pop Culture

Black Indians

I've been curious to find out peoples opinions about the existence of the Black Indian. Many African Americans have descended of course from Africa and have racial mixtures. Whether it be from European, Asian, Hispanic/Latino or Native American. But, I am curious to find out the true percentages of African Americans that actually have proof of their Native American Heritage.

I would also, like to find out about the opinions of full or near full Blooded (over 50%) Native Americans, as to their opinions about African Americans that want to relate to them through their Ancestral Bloodline. Would they accept them? Are they Indian enough? Or are their White counter-parts more readily accepted? I'd like to get some feed-back from the public on this subject matter.

-Thank you.
