Restoring Your Indigenous Status

Were Your Ancestors Reclassified?

For generations, countless American Indian families were reclassified on government records as “Negro,” “Mulatto,” “Black,” or “African American” — a historical injustice known as Paper Genocide.

By searching official tribal records such as the Dawes Rolls, many descendants today are reclaiming their true tribal roots and restoring their Indigenous identity.

Paper Genocide — The Hidden History

For generations, Black Native American families were deliberately stripped of their tribal identity through laws, policies, and official mis-classification. This was not an accident — it was a calculated system designed to erase Indigenous roots, sever cultural ties, and remove rightful claims to land and sovereignty.

Census takers, state officials, and government agents routinely labeled Indigenous people with false racial categories such as:

Negro
Colored
Mulatto
Freedman
African American

By doing so, they forced Indigenous families into categories that denied their true identity, creating confusion for descendants and silencing entire generations of Native heritage.

But today, that truth can no longer be hidden.

You have the power to reclaim your history and restore what was taken. You are not simply what the government wrote down on a census card — you are the living descendant of sovereign Indigenous nations.

You are not a minority.

Not lost.

Not forgotten.
You are the continuation of a people who resisted erasure and still stand.

And now, you have the tools to make sure your identity is once again seen, documented, and respected.

Discover Your Indigenous Heritage

Like many organizations, we utilize historical records such as the Dawes Rolls to help individuals trace and confirm their Indigenous ancestry. These records have proven to be one of the most reliable resources for verifying heritage and achieving recognition. The process itself is called a "Tribal Screening."

But here’s the difference:
Unlike other organizations that charge you high fees just to access the same information, we provide you with direct access to the official search portal—completely free. This way, you can explore your family connections without unnecessary barriers or costs.

What Are the Dawes Rolls?

The Dawes Rolls contain the names and tribal affiliations of Native American citizens from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole Nations. These records are an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to establish proof of heritage.
