Black Indians and freedmen : the African Methodist Episcopal Church and indigenous Americans, 1816-1916 / by Dickerson, Christina,author.(CARDINAL)867284;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 173-226) and index.Introduction: The drums of Nonnemontubbi -- Richard Allen, John Stewart, and Jarena Lee: writing indigenous outreach into the DNA of the AME Church, 1816-1830 -- Seeking their cousins: the AME ministries of Thomas Sunrise and John Hall, 1850-1896 -- The African Methodist migration and the all-Black town movement -- "Ham began.. to evangelize Japheth": the birth of African Methodism in Indian territory -- "Blazing out the way": the ministers of the Indian Mission Annual Conference -- Conferences, churches, schools, and publications: creating an AME Church infrastructure in Indian territory -- "All the rights...of citizens": African Methodists and the Dawes Commission."The African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church is a venerable, Wesleyan religious body that formerly enslaved people established in 1816. Although this denomination is historically Black, it has never been racially exclusive. Scholars have largely minimized the AME Church's ethnic diversity and have specifically ignored its impact within Native communities. This book corrects these unnecessarily narrow views by emphasizing the AME Church's evangelism within diverse Native communities throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As a result of this evangelism, the denomination fulfilled the vision of its founder, Richard Allen, who imagined a racially and ethnically inclusive Methodist ecclesia. The outreach of African Methodists to Indigenous people started at the denomination's inception and led to the ordination of such Indigenous ministers as Thomas Sunrise, who was Oneida, and John Hall, who was Ojibwe. AME ministries to Native people reached their apex in Indian Territory, where African Methodists engaged with the Five Civilized Tribes. This book strengthens existing scholarship on Black and Native interactions. This study on the AME Church is the first to comprehensively examine Native peoples' interactions with a historically Black institution"--

Those proclaimed free at Ionia -- app. J. Negro births McGehee bible -- app. K. 1867 Negro poll registrations."Most family researchers can make their way back to the 1870 census. The challenge is how to get through the 'Brick Wall,' the barrier created when enslaved people were only recorded as someone else's property, at best with first names and often simply as a slash mark on a census. What slaveholder's papers or estate documents, or which county records should you look in for your ancestors? This book brings together public records and family papers containing information about the Freedmen of Louisa County, Virginia, in the years immediately after the Civil War. Many of those sources are online but sometimes identifying, let alone accessing those online sources, creates another brick wall for many researchers"--Page [4] of cover.
