My mother's family came from the British West Indies. And my father's family came from, well, my father's father came from the Montana/South Dakota area. They were Blackfoot Indian.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yeah, my family is of Indian heritage.
Through the years, I found we had Native American blood in us. My great-grandmother came from the island of Martinique, and they hooked up with the Native Americans of Louisiana.
My Native American heritage was not embraced by our family, and we grew up African-American, so I didn't have a lot of access or history to that line of my family.
My parents are British but they emigrated to America, where I was born.
I came from a big family... a big family of Southerners.
My grandparents on my father's side came to this country from the Caribbean with a strong connection to Africa and no shame about it.
My family is Abenaki Indian on my mother's side. My father's side of the family is Slovak, and we also have some English ancestry.
My family came from Ecuador.
My family is Native American, and I was raised with Native American ceremonies.
I don't know much about my family history except that my father had straight black hair and his ancestors probably came from India.
