Today I was assigned a video to watch and blog about. It was about Black Indians and their experience with their racial identities. A lot of the stories were about how if they told people they were Indians, that no one believed them or people said they were just black. I thought the video was really cool, because I didn't know about black Indians until today. It was cool to learn about how these people identify themselves and that they're very proud of the fact that they are both African American and Indian.
Why are they called Black Indians? What does that name refer to? Where is this group of people? Is this something from US history or India's history?
