Afro-Native American Awareness

I have always been interested in the Native American culture but I had never really been given the opportunity to recieve information about them aside from the "Thanksgiving story" and the story of Pocahontas. I feel that the media and history books do not give Native Americans justice in terms of making people aware of who they are. I am glad I was given the opportunity to only learn about pure Native Americans but also about Afro-Native Americans. I know for a fact that not nearly enough people are aware of Afro-Native Americans as there should be.

The video above is video of photos that display the beauty of Afro-Native Americans. I encourage anyone to take the time and press play because the Native American music in the background evoked such emotion in me. I could tell by listening that Native Americans and Africans have a very similar form of musicality and praise. I was absolutely beautiful to listen to. The Native American Culture is so incredibly beautiful.

The untold story of Afro-Native Americans is one of such depth that I plan to continue to learn about them in the future because I truly do believe that they go unnoticed entirely too often. No one should be invisible. Most definitely an entire community should not go unnoticed. I will take it upon myself to spread the word of their existence and all of the wonderful contributions they have made to this country.
