i’m trying to find out some info about my Greatgrandmother,i grew up with her wonderful and amazing stories about her childhood and her mother.She told me that her mother was a fullblooded Algonquian Indian.She was quite proud of this fact and passed down that pride to me.Especially through hear oral stories of our family. Don’t get me wrong..i’m a mixed bag as far as my heritage goes..i’m Native American,Scottish,Irish,French and Swedish.Yet my heart and soul yearns to know more about my Algonquian history!! not even details of my own family but just knowlegde about the tribe. i’ve been able to find a few things on-line but not much.From what i have found out there one of the oldest tribes that many of the other North American Tribes branched off of.Basically i need some help finding out about My Family.If you have some info or know where i should look it would be a wonderful blessing..thankyou Melanie
As a child in Canada I learned about Heawatha [ex-spelling], he was of the Algonquian tribe/nation.

IM ALSO A DINE’ FROM ARIZONA. I TOO AM PROUD TO KEEP MY NATIVE LANGUAGE ALIVE WITHIN MY FAMILY.
The 1st tribe to treaty with the United States is not listed on your site? The Delaware Tribe of Indians.
greetings to all my fellow native brothers and sisters.
i am dana rene hoecker, i am come to the Hopi people and I am the one they waited for. the true pahana.
i read the stone prophesy correctly and have returned many items to the hopi’s.the final item is being worked on now.
i returned a meteorite with their art in it.its me they waited for.the one who seeked out the creator and who was taken up by same.my revelations are that of the Hopi Parrott Katchina.i have been chosen to speak for the people as tribal council refuses the task at hand. my mission is to free the natives and return all stolen artifacts .
my main task is to stop the rape and the lies.my tenet is unbending, unswayable,untouchable. i carry the truth and it is to be common knowledge.i am in the position to call a meeting to discuss your release and after we shall reestablish the laws to live by.old oriabi the first two weeks of jan is most preferred as the spirits grant wishes in these weeks.i have every stitch of truth in my knowledge.not one thread excapes my visions.it is upon you right now and here.your release is eminent. i fired the parole board and replaced it with the truth. i stand as your lawyer in this court of corruption. now is the time you waited for. come help me rebuild your greatest city.freedom.with a vision from beyond, here I AM.
you have to find out where down the line you have purebred anctreoss.then you divide it up.take me for example.i have native american in me.my great great great grandmother was 100%.so that means my great great grandmother was 50%.my great grandmother was 25%.my grandmother was 12.5%.my dad is 6%.and that makes me 3%.just divide everything and you will have an answer.
Why are there no tribes listed in the states of Arkansas and Tennessee?
There are no Federally recognized tribes there.
My granny told me that her 5th great grandmom married the SAC Indian chief, I believe he was called Black Foot or Hawk do they exist any more and how do I find this for my family Tree. Thank you for your time. Also why is it when I spot a wolf or a picture I feel so drawn to that wolf, I have collections of them in my home.
“We need independency in order to becmoe great.”The United States of America continues to be the most prosperous of all nations on the earth, with a production output that floors all others, even despite the horrendous economic travesty that President Obama is perpetrating on us (though he may yet succeed). It is incredibly naive to compare the prosperity of the citizens of the USA to the likes of China, Brazil, Egypt, and the Arab Nations, which have significant portions of their populations living in almost medieval conditions such an assertion is positively surreal. The poorest of Americans and First Americans live as kings compared to many in those countries. Even compared to Japan and Israel, who in this country would truly want to trade his standard of living for theirs?To becmoe great the First Nations need to exercise the independence and freedom they already have, stop offering themselves up into slavery by bowing down at the altars of socialism and kissing the feet of the high priests of entitlement Obama, Kennedy, et al selling their once free souls into slavery.The First Nations were endowed by the Creator with the rights of Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees those rights to its citizens, even its First Citizens. But they have to exercise those rights to enjoy them. Unfortunately too many of them already have relinquished their spirits into slavery.Awake! Rise up from the dust! Stand as Men! Cast off the shackles of sin and dependence! Your greatness lies within you as children of the Creator Himself. If you think your greatness lies with Obama, then you are destined to remain in slavery. But that is not your destiny. You will yet blossom as a rose and becmoe a scourge to tyrants and petty tyrants who seek to sap away your liberty with the soma of socialism and godlessness.
The Yukon Territory in Canada is not listed.
