This in-depth session brings together leaders grounded in Indigenous identity, tribal sovereignty, and reclamation work to guide participants through the process of connecting and reconnecting families to tribal ancestry.
💬 One powerful takeaway?
Blood quantum doesn’t equal identity. In this conversation, we unpack how someone can be recorded as having no blood quantum in the Cherokee Nation — not because they aren’t Indigenous, but because they’re from a different tribal nation (like Muscogee Creek). It’s a detail that seems small but carries deep implications for how ancestry is recorded, denied, or erased.
This master class covers:
Navigating Freedmen and tribal records
Understanding rejection letters as historical archives
Misclassification in blood quantum and tribal rolls
Using the Guion-Miller and Dawes Rolls to uncover family stories
How Black and Indigenous communities intersect in these histories
