Why Do Some Native Americans Look Black? #blackhistory
Some Native Americans look like African Americans… because many of them are black.Tribes like the Yamasee, Washitaw, and Blackfoot had dark skin, braided hair, and African features.
Colonial explorers even documented “Black Indians.” And when enslaved Africans escaped, they often found refuge in Native tribes.
Modern DNA evidence shows deep connections between African Americans and Southeastern Indigenous groups.
So no—your grandma’s stories about having “Indian blood”? They weren’t just tales.
This isn’t a theory—it’s buried history finally coming to light.

I have great grandparents who were Cherokee and Blackfoot
This is low IQ but what else can you expect from the WE WAZ KANGZ crowd. If yall are allegedly every people group ever who built all the kingdoms how did whitey take over?
native Americans are either ham or shems but all three sons of Noah was black real Asians are from Africa there not European but African that mixter came much later at one time so called whites would mission there African decent we would mission a for fathers or bloodline are tribe because color of skin matters very little even now there’s real gray and blue people mutations
People need to understand that many Neanderthals migrated to America after the Africans made it to America 50,000 yrs. Watch. Walter Neves examining many of the head skulls are Negroid not Mongoloid. Every other archeologist discovered the same dna and skeleton examinations to be black African in origin. The Neanderthals are the Siberian ethnic groups, just research it yourself without bias. Theirs so many non African groups are ashamed of being from Neanderthals so they graft themselves onto African culture and indigenous American black heritage to fit in. Every race on earth mimics black culture wherever we go.
Everywhere on the planet there were Indigenous pplz who were and are carbon based .
Thisis so old and y’all still saying African?
The oldest bones found in the Americas were that of a negro and if there’s one of us there’s an entire families of us.
We can’t all be Cherokee 😂😂

My mother was part white and part Native American. And my dad was (so I thought) just African American. But when my dad passed my half sister brought out a picture of my father’s great great great grandfather and said that my dad’s family have Blackfoot heritage. I had no clue. So I am more Native American than I thought.
My husband’s mother was African & her dad was Cherokee
Cherokee here soo happy I met My great grandmother before she passed away always knew since a kid I was different
Yes,,We’re part Blackfoot, Senegal,Cherokee, Cheyenne, etc
Black is not a race
All so-called native Americans
Were black but we were actually aboriginal natives of the West Indies because America was not America..
When the heathens came in, it was called the West Indies. There’s an ancient map of it and what kind of people live in the West Indies black
Indians yes like they have East Indian…
They bought people over from every nation there is no Asian Mexican
Indians those are the people who replaced the aboriginals…
And eventually, their lies will come out … so-called America
Belongs to the aboriginals and guess who’s G-D they say have Yahwah!
They even claimed our G~D
And he slowly destroying
All these nation and making
There towns desolate..👁️
Wrong
Mixed,with buffalo soliders😮
Indians are black people. They were bleached over time cause European enslavers raped the black women and black men which made the black baby Indians be born lighter skinned instead of black skin and darker brown. Lighter skinned black people will still be darker than their recessive gene parent though. Dr. Gregor Mendel stated that dark is dominant and white is recessive.
Africans made it to America in the 1300s and cohabitated with and mated with the Natives.
Continental Africans can’t stand that we not JUST from over there 😆
FBA-ALL-DAY ✊🏾 🪮
Black Americans are native to the Americas’
The “Indian” looking folks crossed the Bering Strait from Mongolia!
Thank you!!!
So if you research history, you will find that African-Americans in the area of Florida with the Spaniards in the 1500s.. there was a rebellion in those enslaved Africans fault for their freedom, and they remain in Florida when the Spaniards went back to Spain…
As well as when the Spaniards were attacking the Aztecs, they had slaved Africans with them as well…. So through the Americas, you will find lineage of African descent that goes back before the colonization of the United States.. now they don’t teach you this in school, but if you look out into the world, you will learn a lot of history. You never learned in a classroom…
We wuz Indians n sheet!
its not a shocker to me we are the indians indigenous to this planet
I’m brazilian and have native American blood .
My Grandpa was Cherokee ❤️
😂 lmao native Americans adopted all races into their families. Some were stolen. Thats why. Not because africans were "native" to the americas. (they were not) every race wants to be "the original" lmao everyone is racists. Race dont mean sheet! Lmao were all human. Idiots.
My Great Granny and Her Brother Always told Us About the Black Feet Indians in Our Family’s Genealogy❤❤
Stop calling us black, we are not black, we are many shades of copper (brown)
And Creek tribes also
Of course, African’s came to the land with the Spanish, that’s why they say Puerto Ricans are also black. In the future they will be saying White’s are also black and it will be true the way White’s and black’s are having children
True story💯
Our History. 🫵🏽👀👏🏾✊🏾🤎🙏🏾
😂
Look more azn too me
Not to mention, most didn’t escape from anywhere because they were already here.
Red Indians = Buddhist Adivasi + Vietnamese + African + European
Did your grandma ever tell you, “We got Indian in our blood”? 👵🏾🪶 Turns out… she might’ve been right.
And I have Aboriginal Australian ancestry.❤
Africans wanna be anything but African 😂
My Great Grandmother’s mother and father were Blackfoot Indians
God is figthing
they are some dirty MFS for what day did they slaughtered off most of the black Indians and enslaved the rest of them mix them with them Africans they stole which was the tribe of Judah from the Gold Coast which is the west coast of Africa and mixed them in over here to where they don’t know who they truly are or were they truly are from but we know they are from Israel and the people saying that they Israel are not Israel in Africa was not named Africa it was named the land of Tyrus
🗣️📢💨 We are indigenous to America black Indians turtle Island and we want our land back turtle 🐢 island is ours
Facts my family was here already!
No such thing as native. Came up from Asia which makes everyone here an immigrant.
We’ve been here ‼️
Not Africa just indigenous
PRAISE THE LORD AMEN ❤️ 🙏 🙌
REVISIONIST HISTORY. DNA can answer this question quickly. Nice try.
Almost like living near the equator causes a darker skin tone naturally. This is why a lot of Papuans also look African (yes, some came from madagascar, but still). Also, slaves were given equal rights by most Native groups. Oppressed recognizes oppressed, I suppose.
The features don’t lie
Highly recommended people to watch for further information
