MASTER CLASS REPLAY: Locating Tribal Ancestry!

Presented by: Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation In partnership with The African American Folklorist This in-depth session brings together leaders grounded in Indigenous identity, tribal sovereignty, and reclamation work to guide participants through the process of connecting and reconnecting families to tribal ancestry . 💬 One powerful takeaway? Blood quantum doesn’t equal identity. In this conversation, we unpack how someone can be recorded as having no blood quantum in the Cherokee Nation — not because they aren’t Indigenous, but because they’re from a different tribal nation (like Muscogee Creek). It’s a detail that seems small but carries deep implications for how ancestry is recorded, denied, or erased. This master class covers: Navigating Freedmen and tribal records Understanding rejection letters as historical archives Misclassification in blood quantum and tribal rolls Using the Guion-Miller and Dawes Rolls to uncover family stories How Black and Indigenous communities intersect in these histories 📺 Now streaming for paid members.
