Over the years there has been a lot of Achievements by African American People.
One Of which, being able to Trace their Roots to a Native American Indian Ancestor!
The census of 1835 confirms that a small group in the Cherokee Nation admitted having African ancestry. According to Mcloughlin and Conser (1977:685); National Archives of the United States, "1960 Record Group 75, T496" the Record shows 16,542 Cherokee of which 72% were fullblood leaving 4,632 mixedbloods of which 1.575% were intermarried white, There were1,592 slaves of which .5% were part Cherokee.
Now even if this information is correct, it shows that African Americans for the most part some of or maybe the majority of them Do have Indian Ancestors , I for one believe this is a correct statement.
I also believe everyone the Right to Claim your true heritage, but at WHAT COST?
Now there have been some REAL Shady Individuals in this Countries history, taken advantage of People in search of their Tribal Lineage, but none tops ANY Of them to the Mt. Arafat Embassy Clan of Yamassee Native Americans. Recently changing their name to Y.A.A.N. (Mt. Arafat Embassy Clan , Yamassee Native American Association of nations ) to hide Association With the Nuwaubians.
We have heard from and read online post from Former Tribal Members by the 100's, complaint of a Monarchy System, Illegal Documents, Tribal members going to Jail, Child Molestation and Rape Accusations on CHIEF Black hawk ,an Un-Ratified Constitution making so called "Grand Chief Black hawk", Chief for Life, along with his family!
Well that's just the Tip of the ICE BURG...
Told by a former " Tribal Elder" When Atlanta D.A. and Officials Investigated the leader and his family, their Criminal record, stopped the City of Atlanta from making a huge mistake, by certifying these people to become recognized as a tribe. Forcing the Group to move the Philadelphia Area.
The group FRATERNITY Mt. Arafat Embassy Clan Association of Nations , perpetuates they are recognized by the United States of America as a Indian Tribe, and as a Foreign Government. Utilizing what they call a Blue back! A US Department of State Authentication, normally associated with use for Traveling in other Countries not apart of the Hague Convention. The group also boast about Several State Apostille's , from Georgia to California, that they say further verify the group as a Real Indian Tribe or Nation. They claim these documents are Treaties between them and the United States. Unfortunately for them no one told them the United States has not signed a Treaty with a Native American tribe since the 1800's, and when You Call the US DEPARTMENT of State they say: " We get Countless calls, from Law Enforcement, and Others about this group, yes they have authentication, No it is not a Treaty!" It's A business Agreement, based on trust, and the US has Found out they Have been deceived by this group and their Purpose!
Now the Problem still becomes, what of the Apostilles, they are Only for the Use of the individual the Secretary of State is certifying, NOT FOR THE ENTIRE TRIBE, so that would mean each member, of their Organization would have to have one!
Also it Can Not Be used in the US, it is for use in Other Countries. ( Google US Department of State Apostille)
Another key factor, legal Analyst make is When Documents Representing a foreign Government are Presented it is based on "Faith And CREDIT". The US government Court System automatically assume , the So called Government applying, is recognized as a Government, the Notary or Clerk of the Court is not Legally capable of making that determination on a County level, which is How The Mt. Arafat Embassy Acquires their documents. They basically take Advantage of State employed Officials lack of Knowledge of Indian Tribes or Governments!
Besides the fact it Does not Even take you to Be there to get an Apostille!
Fact: Nor does it take an ID
You Think the US government is That DUMB?
So this explains, why Former members from Online Documents and News Report were going to Jail "PRESENTING" False Documents!
Now Something that Still isn't Clear with this group. Which Leaves easy Answers and me to Question the Sanity of the individuals that Follow them!
How can a Embassy be a CLAN?
What other native American tribe has a EMBASSY & Clan with Embassy in there Name?
What Yamassee native American tribe was name MT. ARAFAT ( And isn't that Arabic?)
Not Native American.
What is an Association of Nations, and how can you call your self a NATION with Associations of other Nations, do you have any Full Blood Yamasee?
This situation just left us mind boggled, as to how these People, who are on record as being Drug Addicts, paper terrorist, and a whole lot more, get away with this!
Now here is the Clincher, well No not Really, but Read carefully!
If you want to Re-Claim your Native American Heritage from Mt. Arafat Embassy Clan of Yamassee native Americans, you Have to Pay $500. NON Refundable.............. Yes you heard me, and According to former members of the tribe in Georgia, $20 a month to go to The GRAND CHIEF Derrick Sanders & His Wife Renee Sanders. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.....
Okay so what about Tribal Service for the People?
Members Say there are No Services that,doesn't require Money, and when The Appointed Elders of the Tribe requested a Ratification of the Constitution & accountability of the Funds, they were told they were no Longer Elders, and given A New tribe, to be ran by them, and Quoted GRAND Chief Black Hawk As Saying " This is my Mutha Fucking Money get your own", this is Enough for a Soap Opera!
You guys should have had the camera Running! : )
Now Why this guy has Not Been bought in On Charges BEATS Me, but This News Editor has A lot more to go!
Association with the Nuwaubians .
Now Online Letters and Audio from "Chief Black Thunderbird Eagle" of the Bia Tribe of Yamassee of the Creek Nation, says he is Not Affiliated With Mt. Arafat or Latuf as he is Known, Which is Still Arabic!
See it Here: http://www.thyselfknown.com/forum/topics/york-says-he-and-those-with?commentId=2146144%3AComment%3A52590
Now according to Former Tribal members Associated with the Nuwaubians, they Claim Chief Black Hawk made a Public Statement to them, that he Was made Chief by Chief Black Eagle, which convinced them to join! But wouldn't that Contridict the Letter that was Wrote, and his OWN WORDS on AUDIO!
Why wouldn't he say, yeah I made Black hawk Chief to Continue my work for the Tribe!
Another issue to Look at Now is All of MT. ARAFAT EMBASSY CLAN OF YAMASSEE Blue back Documents have Dr. Malachi Z. York Name in it!
Including his Once Renown " Egiptian Church of Karast, Inc" Did Mr. York give them Permission to use his Name? ...or the name of his Church?
And if Charges Are brought to the Mt. Arafat Clan, How Would that Effect " Dr. York's Appeal Process" Currently Serving over a 100 years in Prison on Charges.
Like I Said a Soap Opera!
While this Post is Not To Slander or Discredit other Black Native Americans Actually Trying to Find your heritage, or Any Other Yamasee People or Tribes out there. It is Obvious to see that, some people find a Way to Scheme people out of their hard earned money, even threw Something as Sacred as Tribal Heritage.
We hope those individual taking Advantage of will at least have the Sense to bring this Guy to Justice!
And if not Him the United States Justice System!
This just isn't Right!
