< ----is here to count the number of white people who will now post to claim American Indian blood.

LOL, I know; I love these pictures and this page. It's just always funny to me how many white people have Indian Princess Syndrome.
via Facebook
Beth Pritchard lol. You know you're asking for comments saying "Indian" right? :) hehe
via Facebook
Bring it on because, you know, I'm 1/16th on my father's side, I think... :-) LOVE your page, BTW.
via Facebook

Beth, I would be PROUD to be a Native American Indian.
via Facebook
Well, I wouldn't be proud of being anything that was an accident of birth and not something I worked for, but what I meant in the OP is that every time something is posted about any tribe white people fall all over themselves to claim membership even with the most scant ties.
via Facebook
Beth Pritchard You 'think'?! You're not sure?! I'd be totally sure about where my heritage is from before posting it for the world to see! = )

Why are you being an antogonist for negativity? Why can't you say something positive and keep the peace on this FB group? That isn't the way to earn feathers, so-to-speak.
via Facebook
Diana, "positive to keep peace" is far overrated by the weakminded. Oh, and I believe you missed the satire in my comment. Read again.

i have no indian blood, but, i love the first nations people all the same from down here in australia
via Facebook
Thanks for positive comment! I'm not a Native American, either, but my love is. Show respect for all humankind, whomever they may be, and from where they are from.

If you like to see more search youtube for " War of the American Indians" A documentary of the History of the Iroquois, very very good. abt. 45 min.

I think a slightly more accurate attribution would be "Original: "

I feel it for the Native Americans. They have been forgotten for so long.

Not to mention having been given a really raw deal by the government.

They where robbed and Murdered for there Lands. By the great White Settlers.

The Haudenosaunee did not live in Tepees. They lived in long houses. They also did not wear head dresses with long eagle feathers. I am originally from the Buffalo, NY area and was raised surrounded by several reservations. I went to school with, and interacted with many Iroquoians. While I understand this image is from the Library of Congress, the photograph is most likely misidentified.

I can remember as a kid back in Mobile, Alabama that there was to be a distribution of funds from something to do with Indians. It was unbelievable to see all the people haunting libraries, churches, newspapers, etc trying to dig up an Indian ancestor in records.

In working with a lady who is Native American I find what happened so egotistical of the White people to believe their way is the only way to do things or be in the World. Sad the Native Americans were willing to give and share in the beginning until the White people were takers and continued taking.

Interesting side-note on the photographer. William A Drennan was an Irish-born commercial photographer living in Buffalo, NY. Rebecca is right - the Seneca/ Haudenosaunee did live in longhouses and not tepees. In fact, Haudenosaunee literally means "people of the longhouse". While the Library of Congress lists the subject of the photo as "Iroquois Indians", it doesn't state where the photograph was taken. If I had to guess, I'd say that the photo was staged - much like those shot at the Pan American exposition in Buffalo 1901. If you look carefully at the original, you can see what appears to be a white man standing in front of the group. It's an amazing photo - really hope I didn't annoy anyone with the detail.
Here is a link to the photographer's brief bio:

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
