There are large numbers of African Americans with Native American ancestry,

There are large numbers of African Americans with Native American ancestry, yet much of United States history fails to mention the existence of these people. Though often unmentioned outside of family circles, some 95 percent of African Americans are now estimated to have at least one Indian ancestor.

The Indigenous Blacks in Mexico went under many names like mestizo, cholos, negroes, and even Indian. The term Marines comes from Mare, which in Latin implies a navigator of the waters and also means ‘black’. So the Marines took the name of the people they were conquering, the Maurs (Moors), a signature move of the grafted peoples.
In the book “Indians or Jews” by James Adair, the author quotes, “Like so many others King becomes passionately convinced that the Mexicans Indians were in reality descendants of the lost ten tribes….” This author also quotes in this book “Pages sixteen to two hundred thirty one list twenty three arguments in proof that the American Indians being descended from the Jews….” Also, in a book called “Lost Tribes and Promised Lands” by Ronald Sanders, the author discusses literature published by an explorer named Antonio de Montezinos who verified that he had located one of the tribes of Israel living in a province of Quito, Ecuador during his travels to that area. He also found out that some of the other tribes of Israel also lived in various areas in and around South America. Ronald Sanders also states: “A brief conversation then ensued in their common ancestral tongue, according to Montezinos, whose fluency in it is almost perplexing to the reader of his narrative as is that of his three mysterious new companions. They told him that they themselves were of the Tribe of Reuben, and that the tribe of Joseph lived on an island nearby….” American Indian people, whether of unmixed ancestry or mixed with other ancestry, were at times affected by the tendency to create a purely white– black social system, especially when living away from a reservation or the tribal homeland.
