Lost Roanoke Colony (News Link #24)
Would you believe that in the past week, we have
discovered in the Georgia Colonial archives a very unusual “Indian”
tribe that occupied the region immediately south of the Nacoochee Valley
in northern Georgia, up until the American Revolution? It was defeated
by the Tallasee Creeks, living north of Athens, GA, in 1770 and
thereafter absorbed into the Creek Confederacy.

Prince Charles sponsors search for lost “Migration Legend of the Creek

It is the Rosetta Stone of North America. The
English translation of this hand-painted vellum containing of a lost
Native American writing system, requires eight printed pages. With the
encouragement of His Royal Highness, Charles, Prince of Wales, a search
has begun on both sides of the Atlantic to find the original artifact,
or at least a copy of the writing system.

Alabama Choctaw
becomes NFL Coach (News Link #21)
The State of Alabama is on a roll these days. An
Alabama belle from Opelika, enrolled in college in New York City became
Miss New York, then Miss America. The Alabama Crimson Tide’s football
team is not so shabby. Now, a MOWA Choctaw from western Alabama has
become the first Native American to be on an NFL coaching staff. Read

Native
American Slave who became a Master Architect (News Link #20
It is the story of a real American hero. He never
sent men to their death in battle. He never staged a political
demonstration. After the Civil War, he was elected to the Alabama
legislator against his will, but rarely attended its sessions, because
he thought his first duty was rebuilding the devastated South. He never
did magic tricks with accumulated money after fame came his way, but
immediately invested it into structures and buildings that would bring
economic growth, benefiting all people. His bridges spanned every major
river from South Carolina to Mississippi.

Wikipedia ~ Native American History Altered (News Link #18
Someone has gone through the Wikipedia articles
for counties in northern Alabama, Georgia & Tennessee and deleted most
references to the Apalachee, Apalachicola, Yamasee, Chickasaw, Creek,
Shawnee and Yuchi Indians, plus non-Cherokee archaeological sites such
as Etowah Mounds, Fort Mountain, Rock Eagle and Kusa. They are changing
articles on early European explorers such as de Soto and Pardo to only
mention contacts with Cherokees Indians, when in fact there is no
mention of the Cherokees in these 16th century chronicles.

Are Oklahoma Cherokees planning a Reservation and Casino in
Georgia (News Link #17)
From the beginning it puzzled me why the
question of Maya refugees coming to the Southeast became a “faith-based”
rightwing political issue. Southern Baptist congregations in the
mountains were mobilized to fight the “Mayas in America” thing with the
same furor that they normally applied to the evil of Mexican-American
kids getting subsidized school lunches. Wealthy real estate speculators
from Atlanta and the Blairsville, GA area seemed to be their most
important allies. It made no sense.

(News Link #16)
DNA Consulting Inc. is near completion of a
comprehensive genetic study of the North Carolina Cherokee Reservation.
The project’s original goal was to finally create a DNA test marker for
the Cherokees. However, its shocking conclusion is that the Cherokees
are a Middle Eastern – North African population.

The Itza Maya
Pedigree of Eagle Man (News Link #15)
Left unsaid by the television program is that
several copper breast plates portraying a man wearing an eagle feather
cloak have been found in North America. Most were discovered at Ocmulgee
National Monument or Etowah Mounds National Landmark in Georgia, but
they have also been found in other archaeological zones such as Cahokia
Mounds National Landmark in southern Illinois. The “Eagle Man” is also a
common subject for shell gorgets found in the lower Southeastern United
States and Mississippi River Basin. Most are very similar to the copper
plates in design. A few examples of the “Eagle Man” on painted pottery
have also been discovered.

Shell Tempered Pottery ~ A Lurking
Killer (News Link #14)
Shell tempered pottery is popular topic at
trendy cocktail parties and chic discos. Politicians can rant for hours
of how shell tempered pottery was a key belief of our Founding Fathers
and today, is a bulwark of family values and the fight against creeping
socialism. However, how many of you have actually MADE shell tempered
pottery? In this humorous essay, the writer describes the catastrophic
failure of his first experiment in the glamorous world of shell tempered
pottery. It was definitely one of those experiments that one should not
try at home, alone - unless you are looking for an effective way of
eliminating rat infestations or an ex-significant other.

How
Southeastern Archaeology became fossilized (News Link #12)
Highly respected archaeologist, Timothy
Pauketat, a major myth-buster himself, is a man on a mission. He is
rapidly becoming the Martin Luther of his profession. His book,
Archaeological Chiefdoms and Other Delusions, riddles the orthodoxies
that developed among archaeologists, who were studying the Southeastern
Indians during the late 20th century. Pauketat theorizes that for these
archaeologists, their profession has literally become a cult to which
membership is defined by acceptance of a set of beliefs . . . that may
or may not be equivalent to reality.

Sneak

What the production team of America Unearthed
has accomplished is a prime time documentary series which presents
deductive reasoning and the professional education that comes with being
a geologist, chemist, architect, archaeologist, historian, etc. as being
both positive and entertaining. A lot of people have become absolutely
fed up with the dogmatism and anti-intellectualism that has had
disproportionate influence on the media over the past two decades.

on November 2, 2012 where he described shared or similar words in the
Choctaw language and Totonac. He also found some shared or similar words
in the Chitimacha and “Creek” language. Mr. Kaufman has created a web

Heritage Month (News Link #4)
The first of November is the beginning of
Native American Heritage Month in the United States. Its celebration
varies considerably across the continent. In communities where
indigenous peoples are numerous and politically influential, government
agencies, schools and historic commissions sponsor exhibits, student
projects and lectures. In many other communities, citizens are not even
aware that November has any special significance to Native Americans.

Meet the architect of many Spanish missions in Georgia & Florida
(News Link 3)
Fray Andres de San Miguel, a lay brother in a
Franciscan monastery in Pueblo, Mexico, created some of Mexico City's
most famous early 17th century structures, designed most of the
Franciscan missions in Georgia and Florida during that period, plus
engineered the drainage system that made possible the continued
existence of Mexico City. All of this happened because of a shipwreck,
when he was 18, along the coast of the future state of Georgia.

Evidence
grows for Jewish colonists in the Appalachians (News Link
#2)
However, the latest DNA studies are downright
shocking. The average North Carolina Cherokee carries more Middle
Eastern DNA than the average Ashkenazi Jew in the United States. Not
only do the Cherokees carry typical haplogroups from the Levant, but
also other areas of the region. In a large Cherokee DNA sample, 34%
carried typical Mesopotamian DNA, while 26.8% were in the Type T
haplogroup that is typical of Egypt. Twenty-five percent of Egyptians
carry Type T.
