Oral History Survived Where Paperwork Changed
The Thronateeska Historical Continuity Project — public education resources on Indigenous continuity, Afro-Indigenous identity, and ancestral memory.
Why This Work Matters
Black, Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous histories are often more complex than public education systems have taught. Many families and communities experienced identity changes through colonization, enslavement, removal, segregation, racial reclassification, and recordkeeping practices. When oral history and documentary evidence are studied together, a fuller picture becomes possible. The Thronateeska Project produces educational resources to help researchers, educators, families, and communities do this work carefully and responsibly.
This project is built on original genealogical research and community oral history practice. Our resources reflect the same methodology we use in the field — not a curriculum invented for sale. Learn about our research.
