You are cordially invited by Shaya Partners to study and acknowledge an overlooked history of interactions between Native and African Americans. Shared ancestry between enslaved Africans and Native Americans is a historical occurrence that demands deeper study since it is intrinsically tied to ancestral belonging, identity, and race. 

The relevance of the broad Native American ancestry among Afro Americans and the widespread African ancestry among many Native communities has been largely neglected in contemporary scientific and popular writing in the United States. The effects of this omission are extensive, and this is particularly true when it comes to research on the development of music, folklore, social structure, and other facets of culture. 

Similar to this, a significant number of "Red-Black People," who are a mix of African and American, has gone mostly unnoticed; in fact, both academics and North American legal systems have typically categorized these individuals as "Black." Further, it has been widely disregarded that there were once a sizable number of Native Americans who were slaves, with significant ramifications for both early Native and Afro-American history. The final ingestion of Native American blood by the more numerous Negro slaves signaled the end of Native American enslavement. However, because it continued to circulate in the veins of the Black, Native American blood did not go die in the slave states.

The majority of Alabama's slaves were transported there as part of the region's internal slave trade after being born into slavery in neighboring states. In Alabama, Native Americans were evicted from their homes to make space for cotton plantations and the development of European Americans. In addition, by 1860 Montgomery had developed into one of Alabama's most significant centers for the trade in slaves.

Shaya Partners is excited for you to encounter the people, places, and occasions sparking transformation and defining an important moment for America that is still occurring today in collaboration with neighborhood businesses and communities. 

On this trip: 
You will travel through the Deep South with a Shaya Partner to develop a deeper knowledge of Native and African Americans' historical and ongoing battle for racial equality in the America.
Visit significant sites important to the Civil Rights Movement that many people have only read about in books and learn about Native American history at the Moundville Archaeological Park and Alabama Department of Archives & History.
Honor the contributions of courageous African and Native American 
Enjoy authentic food, folklore, and dance performances while learning about the close relationship that existed between Africans and Native Americans and how it was shattered.  
A four-night stay; four breakfasts, two lunches, and two dinners; Shaya Partners guiding services; admission to all program activities; a private, luxurious motor coach with air conditioning and plush seating; and airport transfers for visitors arriving and departing at the suggested times are included in this tour.
