I posted a picture of parents on Instagram my grandparents, Cleon and Abell during the 1940s. I chose this photo in the video because the girl reminds me of my grandma during her younger years. Grandma Abell always told us that we were Indians. She did not like us calling ourselves African. She said that we were disrespecting and turning our backs on our ancestors when we don't acknowledge who we truly are. Abell said that we Creek and Cherokee Indian and that it runs through our veins. "She said that America is our home. We have always been here." Please share this video - Love and Peace #americanaborigines #americanaboriginalindian
