I'm not exactly sure how I feel about this video in particular. I'm watching it as I type this.
Now, my father's family is from Barbados. Looking at the history of Barbados, there are two stories. One is that, the natives there lived there for awhile and just "weren't there" when the Europeans came along. Second story is that, they were enslaved, but they all quickly died out because they couldn't handle the work.
But yet, somehow, when my aunt did a test on my Dad's side of the family, a significant amount of our ancestry is "Native American", and apparently that Native American ancestry is "very similar" to that of the Seminoles. And I know plenty of other Barbadians who claim the same thing.
I know that when the Seminoles kicked Andrew Jackson's ass, some of them migrated down to the Bahamas, but I never heard of any of them going down to Barbados.
It's real odd that historians have conflicting stories about what happened to the natives of Barbados, yet, I somehow have native ancestry.
I don't know. I used to always look at the different paintings of Arawaks (my Dad had a bunch in the living room of our house) and thought the people looked black. I think that they were not necessarily from Africa, but they were black indigenous people, similar to those in Australia, the Philippines, etc.
But, I'm gonna watch the video, and see what the man is saying.
