BLACK INDIANS
IN THE
UNITED
STATES




Black Indians are people of African-American descent, usually with
significant Native American ancestry, who also have strong ties to
Native American culture, social, and historical traditions.

Many Indigenous peoples of the Eastern Woodlands today have extensive
African descent, such as the Narragansett, Pequot, Lumbee, and others.

Certain Native American tribes had close relations with African Americans,
especially those where slavery was prevalent. Members of the Five Civilized
Tribes held enslaved blacks, who migrated with them to the West in 1830 and
later. In peace treaties with the US after the American Civil War, the
tribes, which had sided with the Confederacy, were required to emancipate
slaves and give them full citizenship rights in their nations.

Until recently, historic relations between Native Americans and African
Americans were relatively neglected in United States history studies.
At various times, Africans had more or less contact with Native Americans,
although they did not live together in as great number as with Europeans.
African slaves brought to the United States and their descendants have had
a history of cultural exchange and intermarriage with Native Americans and
other slaves who possessed Native American and European ancestry. Most
interaction took place in the Southern United States, where slaves were held
in greatest number. Numerous African Americans thus have some Native American
ancestry, although not all have current social, cultural or linguistic ties
to Native peoples.

Relationships among different Native Americans, Africans, and African
Americans have been varied and complex. Some groups were more accepting
of Africans than others and welcomed them as full members of their
respective cultures and communities. Native peoples often disagreed about
the role of ethnic African people in their communities. Other Native
Americans saw uses for slavery and did not oppose it for others.

The Cherokee, Creek, and Seminole have created controversy in
recent decades as they tightened rules for membership in their
nations and excluded Freedmen who did not have at least one
Native American ancestor on the early 20th century Dawes Rolls.
