The U.S. Census officially created the category “black” in 1850, turning an insult into an identity over time. Yet no one is truly “black” or “white”—these are colors, not people. Our ancestors never called themselves “black.” While movements like “Say it loud, I’m Black and I’m proud” instilled a sense of strength and pride, they also unknowingly reinforced a label designed to erase our true origins.

The term “African-American” didn’t even exist before the 1980s—it was a sudden and deliberate attempt to create yet another layer of disconnection. Many remember the overnight shift, the moment this term was imposed upon us as though it had always been part of our identity. It was an effort to further disconnect us from the land our grandparents lived on and to reinforce the false narrative that we all came from Africa.

This book, inspired by the teachings of elder Ron March, dives deep into how history was rewritten to erase indigenous tribes and their claims to land. March reveals how the U.S. government created the Five Civilized Tribes, disregarding the hundreds of others that were already here. The remaining tribal members were rebranded as “negroes” or “coloreds,” erasing their identities and severing ties to their land and culture.

Beyond the historical facts, this book also offers critical insights into law and identity. It explains how each state—and even the United States itself—is not the land but a corporate entity operating on the land you think of as a state. These legal truths, often hidden in plain sight, reveal the mechanisms used to disconnect people from their rights and their heritage. Even if you aren’t a history buff, the legal principles and lessons discussed within this book are essential for pulling back the curtain of the world we live in.

Through sharp insights and undeniable truths, Today’s N!igg@ is Yesterday’s Wild Indian invites readers to question the mainstream narrative that we were all brought here on slave ships. Instead, it challenges you to honor your ancestors by uncovering your own family’s genealogy. “His-story,” as presented to us, is a carefully crafted fallacy—but your story is waiting to be discovered.

This book will transform the way you see yourself, your heritage, and the land beneath your feet. It’s time to reconnect, reclaim, and rewrite the narrative.
