Continued Mis-Information Machine On The Melungeons

Roberta Estes, Jack Goins and Wayne Winkler continue to run their lies around the country popping up on NPR http://www.npr.org/programs/tell-me-more/ this past week. For a reality check on the facts of the matter see the following site:  http://the-melungeons.blogspot.com/
Joanne Pezzullo is one of the few truly unbiased "Melungeon" researchers out there on the internet. She keeps it real, focused and gut wrenchingly truthful. As a researcher of Native American history and the evolution of tribal issues in America I find Joanne's precise take on the "Melungeon" issue to be refreshing and reassuring that there are at least a few good people still left out there willing to tell the truth no matter where that truth leads. Instead of covering up Indian ancestry or mystifying us with tales of exotic ancestry like Gypsies, Jews and Turks, Joanne sticks to historical records, government documentations and anthropological findings on the mixed race communities in the Appalachians. At a time when race baiting people will run about throwing seudo science at the unwitting gullable public it is good to know that there is a voice of reason and sanity in our midst.

The Birth of Wannabe Hunters and Their Hate

http://dnaconsultants.com/Cherokee/jews-indians-and-descendant-organizations-paper

One of the best articles I've read in a long time to explain the rise of the hate against Indian people in North America and the birth of the "wannabe hunter".

‎"In an article in the American Indian Quarterly that appeared the same year as Malamud and Tabori’s pieces, William Quinn distils his work experiences as an “ethnohistorian” at the Bureau of Indian Affairs into a sort of legal brief on the subject of Wannabe Indians. “The Southeast Syndrome: Notes on Indian Descendant Recruitment Organizations” argues that Native American cultural associations in that region of the country are not Indian tribes; they do not deserve federal recognition and in fact do not even qualify as “authentic.” In this position lurks a denial of Indian historicity that is similar to the disbelief many choose to harbor about the Jewish Holocaust. All Indians must “vanish” as though they had never existed. Quinn has a deep-seated antipathy toward any ethnicity that does not conform to the dominant, white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant, male technocracy of contemporary America."---Yates
