About the Thronateeska Project
A public education initiative ensuring the stories that weren’t written down don’t disappear.
About the Project
The Thronateeska Historical Continuity Project is a public education initiative focused on Indigenous continuity, oral history traditions, Afro-Indigenous identity intersections, historical erasure, and ancestral continuity. We use digital storytelling, media, education, and nonprofit outreach to ensure the stories that weren’t written down don’t disappear.
Our Mission
Historical Research
Public Education
Media & Outreach
Nonprofit Partnerships
Archive & Legacy Stewardship
Our work operates on five levels of evidence — from Documented to Oral Testimony to Unresolved — because honesty about what we know and don’t know is part of the practice.

Latresa Lomax is a genealogical researcher and historian focused on Afro-Indigenous history, family oral history documentation, and ancestral continuity in Black and Indigenous communities. Her work builds on years of primary source research and community oral history practice.
Research & Publications
Our educational resources are grounded in active historical and genealogical research. The same methodology documented in our oral history guides comes directly from this ongoing work.
Sovereign By Blood: The Untold Indigenous History of the Witcher–Tompkins Line
A forthcoming genealogical study tracing the Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous roots of the Witcher–Tompkins family line. This research documents ancestral continuity through oral testimony, land records, and community sources — applying the same evidence framework used across all Thronateeska Project resources.
Forthcoming — publication details to be announced.
