| Wayne Duncan - Black American Indian Shinnecock and African heritage |
There is a saying among some tribes that means as much then as now. "It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story." This is a glimpse into a way of seeing an incident and telling what happened from every conceivable way so the listener hears the truth through the veil and the knowledge he or she sees the world they live in. - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha, Keeper of Stories 2.15.13
THE SHINNECOCK INDIANS OF EASTERN LONG ISLAND.
The Shinnecock Nation is a federally recognized Indian Nation, located on the East End of Long Island adjacent to the Town of Southampton. Federal recognition was achieved October 1, 2010, after thousands of years of documented history on Long Island, and 32 years of struggle with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. As the 565th federal tribe, its banner has taken its place among other tribal flags at the U.S. Department of the Interior, BIA, Hall of Flags, Washington, D.C.
