| The founders came together at the Silver Star pow wow in Oakland, California in 1992.
At that pow wow the four of them decided to invite other bi-racial or multi-racial Black Indians to meet to discuss the importance of honoring all our ancestors, and to establish an intertribal organization that would represent our members different tribal affiliations and honor our rich African heritage.
As a result of our placing a meeting notice in the local newspaper a reporter contacted us to do an article for the Oakland Tribune. She was fascinated, not having realized that there were people of African ancestry who shared a history with the First People or who were born into various tribes as Black Indians.
The founders came together with One Voice and One Vision: to celebrate our rich history, our legacy past and present, and to determine our future as Black Indians.
