This Native American produced video explores the issue of racial identity among Native and African Americans. "We were told 'if you could pass for white, that's who you'd be; if not, it was usually better to be identified as black than Indian." lack Indians have been virtually forgotten except by those who shared Native American, African American heritages. Even today, black Indians meet skeptics who refuse to accept their ancestry. This film brings to light a forgotten part of Americans past -- the cultural and racial fusion of Native and African Americans. Narrated by James Earl Jones, "Black Indians: An American Story" explores what brought the two groups together, what drove them apart and the challenges they face today. It examines the coalescence of these two groups in American history. Discounted, and often ignored by mainstream America, these minority peoples have often shared a common past. However, with their heritage ignored and their contributions denied they are all but invisible at the dawn of the new millennium. Voted the Best Native American Film 2001.

Why do us americans talk about race so much?? I wish everyone was purple really. N cgfm001 I dont think ppl are ashame to say they are mix wit blk, cause I know a lot of ppl that say they are mix wit blk jus to make themselves seem exotic, I like saying im black. I dont care what anyone thinks.
the bible did prophesize that the tribe of judah would be a race undesired, so its normal that ppl would deny the mixing of blacks with their ancestors, theyre ashamed. this is all part of the curse of the twelve tribes for breaking the laws and commandments of the lord. if only more native americans and latinos knew they were part of these twelve tribes.

they paid so called civilized africans to hunt down tribal africans bc they knew the bush it was a act of greed and racism brought in by the presents of whites like it is today everyone thinks whites have everything but you dont Creator has given every man his equality your people use mind control when people find this out they have the proof already with massacres done to my native american indian people and the slavery of blacks..its called cultural genoncide..o assimilation...wado
