Hi All,
I stumbled across this site, and was very pleased to find it. I know some of you, and some of you may already know me. My name is Donnye, I live in Greensboro. I claim both Tuscarora and Black. I don’t feel like I cannot accept one without the other.
Anyway, I was born and raised in Greensboro, NC but my parents are from Edgecombe/Halifax County and Scotland/Hoke Co. NC. I work as a Firefighter/Paramedic, and I absolutely love my job. You’ll never hear me not talk about it. I’m a dancer at Powwows, and thats were many may know me from.
I too have an interest in this site because growing up, I was told I had “Blackfoot”, but I wrote it off because the only Blackfoot I knew were in Montana and Canada, but know I see how that could have been passed down. I didn’t know too much about it until I got to this site, and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve done a bit of research (especially of Tribal Histories)not a lot, but I may be of some help. I do need help with some family names… Please feel free to drop me a line when you have a chance…

Hi Donnye
New here too.
Have you heard of the singing group Ulali.Two of the singers are Tuscarora and there is an article about Tuscarora/Black history, particularly in NC in the Aboriginal Voices Volume 3, Number 2…the one with Buffy St.Marie on the cover, by Pura Fe. It is very informative and there is a website for Ulali.
