EXPULSIONS OF THE CHEROKEE FREEDMEN MAKE AMERICAN HERITAGE REGISTRY
CRUCIAL FOR RECLAIMING ETHNIC IDENTITY FOR INDIGENOUS AMERICAN
DECENDANTS.
The recent vote by the Cherokee Nation to expel the descendants of the Freedmen Indians from their nation clearly validated the fact that the original indigenous Cherokee descendants regarded as the Black/Negro Americans today continue to be denied their human rights by non-indigenous people using their ancestral heritage legacy... . It is a well documented but forgotten fact the original Cherokee Nation belong to the race of Negro American Peoples Not Federally recognized Native Americans of the United States
The Cherokee Nation consisted of millions of indigenous American people
living with in the south eastern region of North America. Thousands of Cherokee women and children were captured by American Indian warriors and used in trade as collateral for land acquisitions by European men
creating the American slave trade. The 1868 and 1930 treaties to include the descendants from indigenous Cherokee women (Freedmen) within the new treaty with the U.S was a small attempt by the United States after the civil war to rectify the horrible crime against the humanity of the indigenous American women and their descendants’ rights to their land and ensuring they will receive the benifits from the treaty with their nation. Since 1869 the collective population of descendants from American Indian women have been influenced to assimilate into a new identity first as Negro, second as African Americans and adopt into new and distant cultures from Africa as the way of integrating themselves as peoples into the United States.. Meanwhile the descendants from American Indian men and European women identifying themselves as Native Americans have confiscated the heritage developed by American Indian women and belonging to their descendants as their own. The theft has left a deep seated anger and sense of powerlessness with the indigenous Cherokee descendants refereed to as the Freedmen, who have quietly waited for the Native Americans to stop posturing as keepers of truth and principle and start implementing the principles they so righteously posture as. Since 1868, European people claiming to be Native Americans have discriminated against the indigenous Cherokee people. This time is no different the descendants from indigenous American Indian women identified as Black Americans or Freedmen have been shown once again that their human right to their ethnic identity, heritage and culture is not respected and subjected to being re-written or
interpreted by whatever immigrant group chooses to capitalize or benefit from claiming to posses 16th of American Indian blood as Native Americans. However times have changed, indigenous Americans are claiming their heritage back. The Foundation for Indigenous Americans of Anasazi Heritage is combating the theft by Native Americans and protecting the human right belonging to the descendants for
indigenous American Indians by registering their families connections to their Indigenous American roots from their American Indian grandmothers with the American Heritage Registry ..
The American Heritage Registry is a database to register the remaining descendants belonging to the original American heritage race of
people-Ethnically referred to as American Indians- racially identified as Negro/ Black Americans The data base documents Black Americans who have American Indian heritage ancestry via mother, grandmothers, great-great grandmothers et . The registry documents descendants born from American Negro women to their original ethnic origins as American Indians. The registry database ensures the descendants from the original Amerindian heritage race their human right to be recognized for their factual heritage regardless of how federally recognized Native Americans try to invalidate them. The registry was developed to remove the cloak of invisibility of the indigenous Americans by heritage remaining population, and reclaim their human right to exist in there homeland. It is time to set the record straight.

The American Heritage Registry is sponsored by F.I.A.A.H. FIAAH is an NGO-non-profit administrative division of the Anasazi Council established in 2002 to advocate for indigenous Americans internationally for their fundamental Human rights to be respected as a viable race of people, with the human dignity to be recognized for their actual ethnic heritage, identity, culture, human & Indigenous rights and representation as part of the Indigenous world community Nationally, FIAAH administrates services for the development of institutions and systems needed for indigenous people of Anasazi / Negro heritage to sustain the viability of their peoples from ethnic extinction in their homeland.
