What are Persons of mixed African and other ancestry?
Mixed-Blood people who are of Native American and European Ancestry are people who have both Native American and European Ancestry. Mixed-Blood is the word, given that if you are mixed Amerindian and European, you are neither one or the other, you are MIXED-BLOOD. Some other words for mixed-bloods are: 1. Metis 2. Mixed-Blood 3. Mestee 4. Mestizo Also, if you are tri-racial, Native American, African American, and European, you have the right to call yourself MELUNGEON. Please do not confuse the people who are named MELUNGEON and you as MELUNGEON. In order for me to avoid the whole Melungeon tribe/identity confusion, I just simply call myself MIXED-BLOOD.
