I found out my grandmother was half Blackfeet Indian and I contacted the Arkansas Historical Commission in my state. They told me that they had no records of Indians in our state.I am lucky that I have a picture of my whole family in their indian costumes.
In the state of Arkansas after the Civil War, all free Black men were ordered to leave the state. So I have stopped working so hard on my line because I know that my state had no regard of Black History.
Last month I contacted the Counway County Arkansas Courthouse and wanted the records of "Sullivan"the black high school. I was told that there were no records. They didn't keep them. But the other high school in the town, their records are there.
