The Issue

 

For decades, the historical records of America’s Original inhabitants have been misclassified, erased, or rewritten. Millions of individuals with deep, documented ties to this land have been labeled “Colored,” “Negro,” and later, “African American,” despite records proving their Indigenous American heritage.

Ancestry.com has the power to correct this historical injustice. We, the undersigned, call on Ancestry.com to:

✅ Acknowledge that historical census records labeled “Colored” often referred to free Indigenous inhabitants.
✅ Stop automatically assigning Indigenous American people to “African” ancestry without genetic or historical evidence.
✅ Launch a public awareness campaign explaining the true identity of these misclassified groups.
✅ Ensure ethnicity estimates reflect the proper percentage of American Indigenous ancestry.

We urge Ancestry.com to take immediate steps to honor the truth and restore the rightful identity of America’s First People.

Sign this petition and join us in demanding historical accuracy.
