These are the things that either I identify with or that try to define me
I am more than any given one of them

Folks teaching classes with overlay of racial formation — just found this video (h/t Erin P.). Had never heard of #Melungeon history in #Appalachia. Great, accessible example of #structuralracism, #dispossession, #passing. In case it’s helpful. 16 minutes.

I don't even know what to write here. I'm thankful for researching. Thank you to the gods of Appalachia, my grandma, and ancestry.com.

My jaw dropped. I can't believe I found this YouTube video only days after posting about the Burchfield 1927 Baker Roll interview for the Eastern Band of Cherokee. My kin weren't lying.
Still, what happened to Oo-wa-hoo-kee?

Well, I wasn't prepared to stumble upon a "Cherokee DNA Mystery." However, it lines up with Melungeon DNA. It is contentious, though. #NativeAmerican #Melungeon #Genealogy #History #Cherokee #ScotsIrish #Mediterranean #NorthAfrican #MiddleEastern
More Melungeon + Cherokee follow-up. One of the Burchfields applying on the Baker Rolls is extensively interviewed and goes on to name neighbors and kin who attest to her relational ties to the Cherokee Nation.

Melungeons, Appalachia, and the Cherokee Baker Rolls: what happened to Oo-wa-hoo-kee? #Cherokee #Genealogy #Appalachia #History #Melungeon
makes it worthwhile. It eases the ache from my family having been a part of this heinous institution enslaving their families. And more so since I discovered one great grandfather was a victim, and that my family whitewashed our history. #Melungeon #EdwardMozingo 2/2

News flash: every human has African dna. And if any of your forebears were in this country - especially Maryland or Virginia - prior to the mid-the 18th century, you definitely have African family, often including African great grandparents.
I’m proud of all my ancestors. #survivors #melungeon
I spent today working in the food gardens, and in my indigenous & melungeon groups helping others.
I’m passionate about these groups bc I’m meeting extended family. Educating myself and others. And documenting the truth on websites so the lies about being Italian end with me. #Melungeon

There was a Catholic migration from Maryland to Kentucky, 1780 - 1820. It had a name and everything. This will matter to my genealogy humans out there (Irish and Appalachian, definitely). I couldn't keep this info to myself.

Abe is my relative as well: we are both Melungeon. #Appalachia #history #Melungeon
Today, I honor my Cherokee ancestors—their strength, wisdom, and connection to the land. Wado to my ancestors for their teachings. May we all walk the path of honor, respect, and unity. Unetlanvhi (Love) 🫵🏽🤍🪶
