– The Teaching Institute
For 2019 – Announcing: A New Track
Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes
For
the very first time, MAAGI will become the first genealogy institute to offer a
track devoted entirely to the Freedmen from Indian Territory and the Five
Tribes: Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole Nations. This is focus
in the genealogy community, is long overdue as the Oklahoma based Freedmen are
uniquely the largest group of African-descended people with the most provable
ties to any Native American tribe. For three days the participants will take 12
classes, all devoted to methods of researching the documenting the history of
this most under-discussed population.
