What does it mean to be Black and Indigenous? Afro-Indigenous TikToker explains

In the United States, thousands of people identify as Afro-Indigenous.
Yet, whilst the histories of black and indigenous people are intertwined, the relationship is rarely taught.
This leaves the Afro-Indigenous community to often feel misinterpreted or ignored by the mainstream media.
TikToker Kara Roselles is from the Chappaquiddick Wampanoag tribe. She talks about the lack of representation for her tribe, especially around celebratory times such as November's Native American Heritage month and why she uses her social media platform to teach others about her dual heritage.

We are from the uncivilized tribes who fought against this govn and that is why we aren't federally recognized. Afro- indiginous doesn't exist but it's something we're forced to say because ppl can't believe that there are dark-skinned ppl indiginous/ aboriginal/ native to turtle island. None of my ancestors are from Africa but I am mis categorized as African American.
