The Spiro people, and their Mississippian peers, are nearly forgotten in the pages of North American history, yet they created one of the most exceptional societies in all of the Americas.
Lubiąż Abbey - Poland
Prince's Hall is the largest and most important room of the Abbey.
A long, one-story corridor leads to an exuberant baroque portal which occupies the entire wall, and dramatically opens into the two-story tall hall. The portal is framed by two larger-than-life atlases, an Indian and a Moor.

How to literally erase a holocaust.
Two versions of the same map.
Version 1 (1996) in part, reads:
"Moves were by choice or forced. Where many tribes are now, those who survived the holocaust since 1492, or where they were even hundreds of year ago, may be a far distance from the ancient origins of the people"

List No:

Version 2 (2012) has completely removed any reference to a forced removal, no mention of holocaust.
Another notable revision: the erasure of Saturiwa's name from the list of Florida's coastal tribes !!!!!!

Published on September 25, 2022 I have often written about my Native-American heritage. Native American blood runs in our family in my mother's and father's lineage. The Carmichael/Varnado/Watkins family is a mixture of African-Americans, white Americans, and Native-Americans dating back to the early 1800s.The ancestors of living Native-Americans arrived in North America about 15,000 years ago.

"In cases where there is a historic title or one given by the artist, terms that could cause offence—including “negro”, “moor” and “gypsy”—have been replaced with asterisks in the database. But users who click on a trigger warning can still view the original title. One such work is the famous Moor with Emerald Cluster (1724) in the Green Vault museum. (The statuette was actually based on images of Indigenous Americans.)"
"this has nothing to do with anything african
this is not masamusa
this is not the islamic moorish empire
this is not king tut
this is not hannibal
this is purely AMERICAN"
"it's gonna get real interesting
because the spanish and the french
are not friends this is why we can't call them whites because they don't even look at themselves as white they look at
themselves by their nation so the story goes
the french were enemies of the spanish the french were
friends with (the black King of Florida) SATOURIONA""
"we're not dealing with Cheikh Anta Diop,
we're not dealing with Dr Ben
we're not dealing with the afro-centric philosophy
we're not dealing with pan-africanism this is not pan-africanism
this is not moorish history these are not
muslims"
"this connects us with the land mass
that our grandparents came from our great great grandparents came from our great
great great grandparents came from"
"European artists from the Renaissance onward have visualized the known world through allegorical figures derived from ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman personifications.
Early allegories of the continents comprised only Europe, Asia, and Africa but when Europeans reached the Americas in 1492, it too was incorporated into the existing schema.
(often) These allegorical figures merge a sexualized young woman (virgin territory) with the symbols and attributes that their makers associated with each continent, in some cases commodities to be traded and resources to be exploited.
America is the only allegorical figure...depicted with her breasts bared and beckoning, an allusion to Europe’s desire to further explore her territory. She wears a feather headdress and carries a bow and arrows, with a full quiver in reserve. At her feet is a severed head pierced with an arrow, conveying her aggressive temperament and the commonly held belief that Indigenous peoples were all cannibals.
(the) archetypes, however, make no attempt to differentiate the facial structure or skin color of the four women representing the continents. This physical uniformity is likely derived from the notion of a classical Western ideal, in which a fetishized white woman, often shown in a state of undress, could be used to represent whatever subject was being allegorized."

"...some artists gave her (symbolic America) a copper tint and a few - confusing America with Africa - created a Negroid image of both."
E Note: this alleged confusion is debunked by the ornate altar/sculpture located within the monastery at St. Georgenberg
Year: 1738
"Allegorical sculptures (putti), attached freely to the corners of the pulpit basket, (re)present the four continents. The attribute assignment is clear: America is a dark-skinned figure, dressed in feather skirt and feather crown. In her hands is a crucifix that can be read as a reference to America's special position as the continent that was last missionized. Europe is wrapped in antique clothing. On her head she wears a crown as a symbol of worldly power, in her hands she holds the Pope's Cross, Tiara and the Bible as symbols of spiritual power. The allegory of Africa follows. Like America, she wears feather skirt and feather headdress. She holds a large rosary in her hands. The last thing to follow is Asia, her boots on top of each other, dressed in a wide tunic and a large turban on her head. The four continents symbolize the universal claim and mission in the iconographic program of this remarkable pulpit, the main theme of which is the Word of God."
