For hundreds of years the ethnic identity and the right to "self determination" has been denied to a group of families whom was placed at Fort Christanna and Fort Blackmore in VA.
The descendants of these "Friendly Indians" has endured racial prejudices and the attempted act of genocide. Several groups, tribes, and or organisations exists today that have been denied their heritage and rights to assemble as a recognized Tribe under the current criteria of the BIA.
We the descendants humbly request an inquiry to validate the surnames and the true ethnic identity of the afflicted families.
