Great Website. Very interesting and insightful. By the way, have you seen
the http://www.melungeons.org/melung.htm website regarding the term
Melungeon or the http://www.melungeons.org/tirah1.htm or
http://www.melungeons.org/tirah2.htm website regarding the term NATIRAH?

["Natirah is a new ethnonym, designed by native triracials for
nativetriracials, and was acronymically derived from Native Tan Inter-Racial
American Humankind. Natirah replaces the old outdated Mulatto designation
and other disparaging terms used in the past to classify mixed-race people.
Natirah in effect represents the ancestry of native hybrids of color. Tan
American is anoptional racial designation for native hybrids or triracials
without a proper racial designation."]

Perhaps you'd like to add information on either or both websites to your
list of web links.

Just a thought.

Have a great day and keep up the good work.
