Not Taught In Plantation Schools

I am a Cherokee Blackfoot American Indian who is Muslim. I am known as Eagle Sun Walker. I serve as a Pipe Carrier Warrior for the Northeastern Band of Cherokee Indians in New York City.

There are other Muslims in our group. For the most part, not many people are aware of the Native American contact with Islam that began over one thousand years ago by some of the early Muslim travelers who visited us. Some of these Muslim travelers ended up living among our people.

For most Muslims and non-Muslims of today, this type of information is unknown and has never been mentioned in any of the history books.
There are
many documents, treaties, legislation and resolutions that were passed between 1600s and 1800s that show that Muslims were in fact here and were very active in the comunities [sic] in which they lived.

Treaties such as Peace and Friendship that was signed on the Delaware River in the year 1787 bear the signatures of Abdel-Khak and Muhammad Ibn Abdullah. This treaty details our continued right to exist as a community in the areas of commerce, maritime shipping, current form of government at that time which was in accordance with Islam.

According to a federal court case from the Continental Congress, we help put the breath of life in to the newly framed constitution. All of the documents are presently in the National Archives as well as the Library of Congress. If you have access to records in the state of South Carolina, read the Moors Sundry Act of 1790.

In the future, Inshallah, I will go in to more details about the various tribes, their languages; in which some are influenced by Arabic, Persian, Hebrew words. Almost all of the tribes vocabulary include the word Allah.

The traditional dress code for Indian women includes the kimah and long dresses. For men, standard fare is turbans and long tops that come down to the knees.
If you were to look at any of the old books on Cherokee clothing up until the time of 1832, you will see the men wearing turbans and the women wearing long head coverings.

The last Cherokee chief who had a Muslim name was Ramadhan Ibn Wati of the Cherokees in 1866.

Cities across the United States and Canada bear names that are of Indian and Islamic derivation. Have you ever wondered what the name Tallahassee means? It means that He Allah will deliver you sometime in the future.

Whaddup DV?

You all throwing hand grenades all up in the blogsphere. I heard that shyt way over in ebay. Effed up my paypal transactions.

Maaaan, that's some heavy info. Amazon returning 0 results on Ramadhan Ibn Wati. Infact they told my black a$$ to take that bullshyt someplace else, that they only deal in legitimate plantation harvests.

Got an end of the month deadline, but I'm still dropping in. Yesterday heard Democracy Now's coverage on the road of Helen and just knew she was going to be the blackest woman on the planet in this joint.

I see CNu, MB, DS & Wax, where Kon & DMG at?

@Mahir Abdal-Razzaag El, I need some reference talking about Ramadhan Ibn Wati. Can only find a little info on the web. Any books I can get at?

Geeeee Cheeeee!

My man.

Where you been Bra?

Them squares had me surrounded.

Deadline huh? Shiiii do your thing.

Yeah man.

Shiiiiii. You know how it go.

Thinking out the box scares Plantation Negros more than it scares their masters.

"Ohhhh Denmawk Vesay tawkin' 'bout Niggaz iz Morez! He don't know nuffin' 'bout dat! Celebwatin' Dr. Ali Muhammad Bey! Where dat nigga get hiz "Dr." fwum?"

lol .. aahhhh

Haven't found anything definitive on Ramadhan Ibn Wati.

Interestingly enough, I'm finding more anti-Muslim propaganda desperate to prove the Cherokee were not Muslim.

(The moment they start trying to prove a negative it gives them away.)

If you find something bra. Please share.
