The Washitaw group claiming to be a tribe recognized by the UN are not a real tribe. The Southern Poverty Law Center has two good articles in their Intelligence Reports at their website on these folks. Read the reports for Spring 1999 "Born on the Bayou" & Spring 2000 "Common Law Groups A Louisiana Empress Faces the Law". These guys are major scam artists claiming to be Black mound builders & indigenous peoples who really own the land of the Louisiana Purchase. They issued for a nice fee their own drivers licenses of various kinds & passports & don't pay taxes, etc. If the UN really recognized this group as indigenous peoples then we have a problem in that its not checking & verifying these groups & the REAL indigenous peoples are being lumped in with some very shady folk. I guess that's just another reason the UN needs a house cleaning. Marcie

Marcia, I assume you are in Pensacola or there abouts. Pensacola is my home town, but I currently live in Virginia and have been trying to trace my roots. My journey thus far has led me to Central Georgia and my family elders have been saying for years my great great great grandmother was Creek Indian. I am in the process of gathering family documents and court records, but have not been able to show a true link to the creek nation. Do you know of any resources I maybe able to use to help? I have looked through the Dawes rolls and found names that match, but have no evidence of my relation to this point. Any help would be appreciated. Wayne A.
