   The whole world belongs to the Black Nation.

   DESCENDANTS OF PRECOLUMBIAN BLACKS IN THE U.S.,

   CARIBBEAN, CENTRAL AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICA AND

   THE FIGHT FOR THE RETURN OF THEIR STOLEN OCCUPIED

   LANDS IN THE MIDST OF THE REPARATIONS DEBATE THE

   ISSUE OF RETURNING THE LANDS OF THESE BLACKS WHO

   ANCESTORS WERE HERE IN THE U.S. AND AMERICAS BEFORE

   COLUMBUS HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE WITH ONE BLACK

   NATION OF THE LOUISIANA TERRITORIES

   The experience of the Washitaw Nation (or Ouchita

   Nation) of the Southern United States is another

   piece of solid evidence for the fact of pre-

   Columbian African presence and settlement in the

   Americas and specifically in the United States.

   According to an article carried in the magazine,

   ‘The Freedom Press Newsletter, (Spring, 1996),

   reprinted from Earthways, The Newsleter of the

   Sojourner Truth Farm School (August, 1995), the

   Washitaw were (and still are) a nation of Africans

   who existed in the Southern U.S. and Mississippi

   Valley region long before the 16th century

   Europeans arrived and even before there were

   “Native Americans” on the lands the Washitaw once

   occupied and still occupy today.

   According to the article, “the Washitaw Nation

   “governed three million acres of land in Louisiana,
   Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Mississippi. They

   were ship builders (similar to the Garifuna of the

   Caribbean, who are also of pre-Columbian West

   Afrucan Mandinka Muslim origins (according to

   Harold Lawrence in ‘African Presence in Early

   America,edt. by Ivan Van Sertima).

   What is even more facinating about this aspect of

   hidden history of Blacks in America before Columbus

   is that the Washitaw Nation was known and

   recognized as a separate, independant Black nation

   by the Spanish and French, who were in the

   Louisiana Territories and Texas areas. According to

   the present leader of the Washitaw Nation, “when

   Spain ceeded the Louisiana Territory to France,

   they excluded the land belonging to the Washitaw

   Nation. France did not include it in the “Louisiana

   Purchase,” and according to the leader, “This land
   is not part of the United States of America.” That

   point was made in the newspaper, “The Capitol

   Spotlight, June 1992.

   In fact, the courts agreed that the land was not

   part of the U.S. and that in fact the Washitaw

   (Ouchita) Nation was on the land long before

   European Colonization: therefore, in legal

   decisions made, some of the ancient territory was

   returned. This historical decision was made about

   1991.

   This is the type of information seldom seen in the

   majority press, yet, the importance of that event

   clearly points to the incredible service small

   papers and magazines such as Ancient American or

   the Capitol Spotlight and The Freedom Press

   Newsletter have been making, along with internet

   news and information sites such as this one.

   So, here we see an example in the continental

   United States where Africans who came before

   slavery, before Columbus and thousands of years

   before Christ (over six thousand years B.C.,

   according to the Washitaw chroniclers), were

   engaged in boat building, seafaring, trade and

   commerce in ancient times and who still exist today

   as a distinct Black Nation who have evidence and

   proof of their ownership of millions of acres of

   lands in the Southern U.S. and the Mississippi

   Valley.

   The Washitaw Nation held an important convention in

   June 1992, in Monroe, Louisiana and have held

   others since.

   Yet, the Washitaw is merely one nation of the

   descendants of pre-columbian Blacks from Africa and

   elsewhere and possibly from right here in the

   Americas as the very first people to exist here,

   long before the development of the Mongoloid,

   American Indians or the Mongoloid( 15,000 B.C.) or

   even the Caucasian races (30,000 B.C.). Pure Black

   Homosapiens began to migrate from Africa and

   populate the entire earth about 200,000 to 150,000

   years ago, according to scientists, historians and

   anthropologists.

   Among the other Black nations who existed in the

   Americas before Columbus and long before Christ

   were the Jamassee (Yamassee), who had a large

   kingdom in the South eastern U.S., Their

   descendants were among the first Blacks of pre-

   columbian American origins who fell victim to

   kidnapping for the purpose of enslavement. Blacks

   of South America, the Caribbean and Central America

   were also attacked and enslaved based on a Pontifax

   passed during the mid- 1400’s by the Church

   hierachy giving the Europeans the go ahead to

   enslave all “Children of Ham” found in the newly

   discovered territories.

   The descendants of the Jamassee are the millions of

   Blacks who live in Alabama, Gerogia, South Carolina

   and northern Florida. They of course also have

   African slave ancestors, but these slaves are the

   relatives of the same Africans who sailed to

   America of their own free will, while Europe was in

   the Dark Ages, and long before Christ, for that

   matter.

   In California, descendants of the fierce “Black

   Californians” who were a Negroid people of African

   racial origins and the original owners of

   California and the South WEST (BEFORE THE SPANISH

   INVASION…OR THE CREATION OF THE MIXED RACE

   “HISPANIC” ETHNIC GROUP.

   Many African-Americans in California are of Black

   Californian ancestry and their great grand parents

   were among the original Black Californians who were

   victims of Spanish Californio enslavement and Anglo

   American settler attacks. In fact, the Black

   Californian fought until the late 1800’s to

   maintain control of their ancestral lands from the

   settlers. THAT’S A FACT.

   There are aboriginal nations of Blacks in Panama

   such as the Afro-Darienite and the Choco people.
   In fact, the Afro-Darienite are the remnants of the

   aboriginal Black nations of South and Central

   America who were once hunted down to be made slaves

   by the Spaniards (in fact Balboa or Peter Matyr

   chroniclers referred to these Blacks as “slaves of

   our lord,” ) meaning, like Blacks in Africa, the

   South Pacific and elsewhere, they were eligible for

   enslavement, being descended from Ham, the so-

   called “father of the Black race.”

   In Columbia’s Choco Region, on the Western side of

   that country, there are hundreds of thousands of

   Blacks, whose ancestors have been in Columbia for

   thousands of years. In fact, scientists and some

   historians have found out that Black slaves were

   being kidnapped and hunted down in Columbia and

   parts of South and Central America, as well as the

   Caribbean and U.S., by the Spaniards and others

   long before they began to look for slaves in

   Africa. (an old painting in Natonal Geographic

   clearly shows a black with bow and arrow and

   wearing a loin cloth, hunting along the coast of

   Columbia during the first voyage there by the

   Spaniards.

   These Blacks today of the Choco Region of Columbia

   are among the most oppressed of Blacks in Latin

   America today.
   Then there is the Garifuna or Kalifunami also

   called “Black Caribs” Being a member of the Black

   Carib Nation and having done historical research,

   the myth of the Black Caribs being escaped slaves

   has been debunked. It is true that the Black Caribs

   encouraged slaves from the West Indies Islands to

   join them and that the Black Caribs did ally with

   the Mongoloid Caribs of Dominica and other parts of

   the West Indies, but the fact remains, that the

   Black Caribs were originally Mende traders of gold

   and cloth, who established settlements throughout

   the Circum-Caribbean region, Mexico, Central

   America, South America and the Southern U.S.

   They had been arriving in the Americas for

   thousands of years, even before they converted to

   Islam during the 900’s A.D.. In fact, the Olmecs of

   ancient Mexico were Mende, they used the Mende

   script (found on monments at Monte Alban, Mexico,

   and they named places from southern Mexico to South

   America with Mandinka names. Such names sometimes

   sound identical to the names of places used in West

   Africa.

   In retrospect, while the debate for reparations

   increases, it is important that African-Americans

   know that two great injustices were committed by

   the Europeans. The first was slavery, the second

   was the taking of Black lands and destroying Black

   history and culture so Blacks remain totally

   ignorant of their rights to more than one third of

   north America. NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE SLAVEMASTERS

   DID NOT WANT BLACK FOLK TO LEARN TO READ, AND WHY

   PLANTS ARE PLACED IN CHATROOMS AND ON FORUMS TO

   ATTEMPT TO DISCREDIT ANY USEFUL HISTORY AND

   INFORMATION OFFERED TO BLACK PEOPLE.

   Still, TRUTH SUBMERGED SHALL RISE AGAIN.
