It’s pretty common knowledge that we really can’t say for certain who the mound builders were, besides being indigenous. Anything else is conjecture and saying they were black goes along with fantasy pseudo knowledge that the Olmecs were black. Lough out loud type stuff. By the way Will Rogers was Native.

Also, Erin, towards the end of the Seminole Wars, hundreds of Black Seminoles left Florida and went to the Bahamas. Thanks for the note.

Thanks for writing this. I learned some things, and this is very interesting information. I am especially interested in your assertion that the “Native American culture that built pyramid like mounds all over North America… are believed to have been Black.” I would like to learn more about this. What are your sources? I am mixed Native and Bahamian and a member of the Choctaw Nation.
