I’ll be there!
À move in the right direction per Bermuda’s indigenous population. Many descendants of the Pequots are here as well as other indigenous populations from the mainland Americas(America), note: BDA is within the Americas(America).
It’s time to cease with the erroneous “black” status classification and come to the 21st century with our indigenous aboriginal corrected status. Inquisition operations(Spanish) are still active across the world but slowly but surely a critical mass is forming to change this awful and pernicious paradigm.
I think this event is great. Howevet Indigenous means “belonging to the original inhabitants” of a place. Singling out who is amd who is not indigenous is not very productive, but if someone wants to do it, that’s what it means.
what about true records of our nationality before the trans -atlantic slave trade, “indian” is a bye word that we were called along with, “afro,black, coloured,african ect, we need our true records, of Judah and Ephraim!..Until Shiloh…
I think it’s great that people want to celebrate their history even if it is just one branch of their blood line
We cannot do anything about the past but must look forward to a create a loving Bermermuda with tolerance for all.
A blind man never sees any color only actions of others and for that reason has the vision of site to a person soul
Indigenous aboriginal is my and many others status here in Bermuda even though many don’t know. Another term is Moorish or a Moor, which means the same any indigenous Melanoid. The oldest by
bones in the Americas bear resemblance to modern Africans, East Asians and Australians. Go figure. The first Americans were not Mongoloid but look like what is considered albeit erroneously a black person.
