and the UNIFIED
Welcome Myal:
Before I go on, I want to say that this particular post is not about challenging the naming conventions Africa or Indigenous. That will be a topic for another post. The naming convention is important to understand as well as knowing today's names for lands, peoples, concepts, etc. are heavily rooted in the moves of temporal powers throughout Ourstory. Some naming conventions are necessary for me to touch upon because they relate to the ideas brought across in this article.
This post will be dealing solely with presenting the Myal's position concerning Indigenous People (IP) by giving a fundamental and simplified understanding of migrations coming out the land mass which the world calls Africa presently, and how we interpret those various bodies of people.
Some Vocabulary
Since a lot of the vocabulary that defined early Indigenous Peoples was taught by European schools, and those same schools used Greek and Latin script and cultural meanings as the basis of learning, I thought it necessary to point it out here. I will simplify the terms so that it will be easier to read throughout this article.
Nature= Latin for Natura. It stems from the root Neteru. We will use nature.
Glyph for Neteru
Homo=Latin for human or person. This has a Proto Indo-European (PIE) root stemming back to Ancient India. We will simply use people.
Sapien= Latin for wise, and has a PIE root.
We will use the word wise.
Erectus= Latin for erect or upright and also has a PIE root. We will use upright.
Ergaster= From the Greek word ergon meaning work. We use the word working to replace it.
Pangea= Pan is from the Greek word for all, and gea is from Gaia. It is equivalent to the English Earth. We will use whole for pan and land mass in place of gea. Thus it will be the whole Landmass.
Neanderthal= refers to land where the bones of this type of Homo sapien was found. We will use Neandertal instead.
So, Homo sapien will be wise people. Homo erectus will be upright people. Homo ergaster will be working people. And, Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis would be wise Neandertal people.
The Land Mass Diaspora
We immediately think of people when we think of a diaspora. This is indeed true. But when considering this topic, I want to expand the idea of a diaspora as not only a separating and scattering of peoples, but a separating and scattering of land masses. This was caused by Nature, specifically by tectonic movements (mobile land masses) and orogenesis (creation of mountains).
The land masses go through cycles of Unity, Duality, and Multiplicity. This has been taking place for billions of years. For the sake of this work, we will start with the most recent.
The land mass we now call Africa, was at the heart of one big land mass scientists called Pangea or the whole landmass of the planet connected together. It existed during the Paleozoic and Cenozoic Era (250 million years ago). That mass broke into two major parts ( the first duality), and then into the continents that we presently know today (multiple parts). The upper continent scientists call Laurasia and the lower continent is called Gondwana. These two masses came into existence (200 million years ago).
Phases of formations of Land Masses
IPM 400 YA
The question of who and what are Indigenous Peoples (IP) is better answered through trying to find out the where and when the spreading or migrations of the same people occurred. In popular thought, or at least with those concerned with a diaspora, the focus would be the scattering of Indigenous people (called black) or melanin sufficient peoples, forced or otherwise, from the Continent of Africa in the centuries spanning the 16th to the 19th. I tend to call that the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES MIGRATIONS of 400 years ago or IPM 400 YA (years ago)
The IPM 400 YA is a very important time in that there were a lot of groundbreaking things that took place. The interaction of peoples in Europe with others sparked a lot of enterprising and terrible things that has lasting impact until this day. Many of these occurrences took place because nations contributed (in part) in the development of European imperial and aristocratic consciousness (mainly peoples from Africa, China, India, Palestine, and Arabia). The areas of contribution are: mathematics, religious thought, philosophy, science, and a host of other things. These concepts were adopted as well as innovated by Europeans within the different nation-states that appeared after the fall of the Roman Empire (This is not to say that Europe never had any of their own stuff and there weren't things done solely by European creativity. I point out the contributions because racist want to make Europe an anomale created in a vacuum).
Since this article is about the Indigenous Peoples Migrations of different times, and not entirely about the detailed events of 400 years ago, I will only state the fact that there were new innovations such as the idea of the nation-state, Industrialism, Anthropology, Fledgling Capitalism, Religion, and Pseudo-Science or Scientific Racism. All of these played a part in how European monarchies, aristocracies, soldiers, adventurers, and the like, perceived and/or justified the enslavement of peoples through collusion with the leadership of the victimized nations they encountered. That same leadership, by way of their own greed, as well as justification for political advantage and power, worked with Europeans to allow for families to be separated causing unspeakable and forgivable grief to take place.
The Forced Migration and Kidnapping of Indigenous Peoples or Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade (IPM 400 YA) is the most famous and sensational of all Diasporas ever recorded simply because it left a lasting impression upon how people live, do business, worship, make decisions on technology, government and civil rights, treat and relate to each other, in the United States, and the world in general. This era also produced the outstanding leaders/organizations that fought/fight for AD since the 17th Century, as well as produced terrible and unforgivable despots and organizations.
At this point, I want to mention that while people focus on the tragedies of the time period above (and rightfully so), they tend to not research or ignore the leading of Indigenous Peoples, via their own technology, in traveling across the planet before the time of the European. This ignorance was/is reinforced by the European and Indigenous People as well. The systematic disenfranchisement and depowering of the Indigenous Populations who, prior to European temporal rule, conquered and also serviced European nations to become powerful, led to a dramatic shift in power. Indigenous Peoples losing their temporal authority in the world led to a type of revisionist history that only supported the illusory superiority of the European Aristocracy.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MIGRATIONS
So we look at a diaspora as a mass dispersion of people going towards one or more lands with a source country or continent those said people revere, desire, or want to go back towards, in a culture sense or in other ways. A diaspora can also be within the said country the people cherish. In other words, it can simply be a displacement of people via removal or otherwise, within the same land.
When we look through the annals of time, we can understand that there are diasporas or mass dispersions of people for thousands upon thousands of years, so much that the complexity of diasporas that took place would be hard to categorize and be studied properly if no significant scientific effort is put into it. For this post, I will just touch upon diasporas relating to Afrika that I consider significant and important for all to know, particularly those affected or those only knowing about what is called the kidnapping and Forced Migration of Indigenous Peoples (slave trade) of 400 years ago.
Here is an Incomplete List of some Indigenous Peoples Migrations Events:
IPM 2, 000, 000 YA (Upright People/Homo erectus)
IPM 600, 000 YA (Wise Northern People/Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis)
IPM 70, 000 YA (Wise People/Homo sapiens)
IPM 50, 000 YA (Wiser People/Homo sapiens sapiens)
IPM 15, 000 YA (Western Hemisphere)
IPM 3, 500 YA (Olmecs)
IPM 1, 400 YA (Moorish Conquest/Arab Slave Trade)
IPM 700 YA (Abu Bakari Expedition)
IPM 400 YA (Colonialism/Imperialism/Mercantilism)
IPM 2, 000, 000 YA
Most Bioanthropologists and Paleoanthropologists (intellectual children of the Greek Philosophers, Moorish Philosophers, Natural Philosophers, and even earlier, the Wabu Priests of old Egypt) bear witness to the idea that the Upright People (homo erectus) dispersed from out of what is known as Africa roughly two million years ago. This is what I refer to as the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES MIGRATION of 2,000, 000 YA in the period scientists and/or geologists called Pleistocene. A select branch of the Working People (homo ergaster)(Eastern amd South African Beings) species migrated out to populate what is now called Asia and then into what is now called Europe and created their own cultures/tool industries (tool industries are the modification of stones for communal use. the most ancients ones are found in Africa). They are the Upright People. The Upright People are the children of the Working People.
Homo erectus - the Eurasian
Homo ergaster Skeleton - the Afrikan Parent of Homo erectus
These Upright People were similar to their future progeny but had distinct characteristics that differed from the beings that came after them. Their bipedalism, skull contours and skeleton, muscle distribution, and weight, were relative to their type of environ.
Now at this point, many groups want to say that there was some type of alien intervention that moved Upright People genetically towards the Wise People(Homo sapiens). This post is not dealing with alien worship or reverence. It is the same thing as spookism to me.
IPM 600, 000 YA
The beings that were different from the above were the Wise Northern People (Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis) or Wise Neandertals. Their skull size were more like their cousins the Homo sapiens sapiens (Modern Wise People) except they still maintained some of the skeletal and facial features of Upright People (Homo erectus). They occupied Europe and dominated the Eurasian continent and had their own culture, which consisted of burials, elder care, art, as well as tool industries (some tool industries more sophisticated than their cousins to the south).
They coexisted with their cousins, the Wise People (Homo sapiens) of Europe and there is also evidence of both Neanderthal and Homo sapiens actually producing children. The evidences suggest that they were wiped out by change in environment, scarcity of food, and the ability for their cousins to adapt and absorb remaining Remet Tamahu (Neanderthals).
IPM 50, 000 YA
Those same Wise People (Homo sapiens) not only occupied Europe but also Asia. The Upright, the Working, and the Wise People that came before them resided in Africa. The ones that were before them (200, 000 years before their migration) were the Older Wise People (Archaic Homo sapiens
IPM 15, 000 YA
And so this, IPM 15, 000 YA group populated the rest of the planet, creating the Original Dravidian Civilizations of what is called India and Shang or Nah-ki Civilizations of Chin (China), the original dark-skinned Asians. Some of these spread into the northern hemisphere creating the original Inuit groups (falsely called Eskimos).
Each of these Civilizing Groups created the pyramid structures in each region of the planet, and many of the old glyphs, scripts, customs, roughly match each other. This also reinforces the idea of cultural diffusion out of the African continent.
Japanese Underwater Pyramids
Refurbished Mesopotamian Pyramid
Ancient Mexican Step Pyramid
IPM 3,500 YA
The Ancient or Older Wise People within the continent of Africa continued, and they created the ancient pyramid structures of what is now called Egypt, the structures of Timbuktu, Khart-haddas, Nok Kingdom, and the like. The reentry of groups coming back into the continent took place. And the spreading of these groups (Shang Dynasty) on the Asian side came through what is now called the Pacific Ocean (Shang) while on the Afrikan end, groups (Olmec) came through what is now called the Atlantic Ocean. These group comingled and were responsible for a heavy influence on later groups such as the Aztec, Mayans, Arawaks, Caribs, Tainos, and a variety of other Native Caribbean and American ethnicities.

IPM 1400 YA
The Advent of Muhammad and the Jihad of the Arabs spawned many Indigenous Peoples of Africa to be enslaved and forcefully moved to areas in Arabia, Palestine, Iraq, Iran, and further into what is now called India. And while the originally inhabitants were wooly haired and black skinned originally, this changed within the thousands of years from the pleistocene era. The enslaved Afrikans gave the population a new infusion of the diverse strains that inhabited the African continent. This caused the inhabitants of the Southeast Asia and India to be of a very dark melanin.
I must mention that at this point there was a heavy migration of Indigenous Peoples from the African continent (known as Moors and Black-a-Moors)going into Europe for conquest. These Moors, of both African and Arab background were numbering near a million inside the Iberian peninsula.
IPM 700 YA
With the political and economic popularity of Islam during the Gregorian 8th and 15th Centuries, there were other migrations taking place. One Malian Mansa (king) took leave of West Africa and set expeditions towards the lands towards the west. This is a secondary contact with Indigenous African peoples with what is now called the Caribbean. These events took place about 300 years before the European adventurers/travelers (helped by Moorish Science) in the person of the Portuguese.
And during the time of European colonialism, the formation of Mixed Indigenous Communities of both Continental African and Native Caribbean descent took place. These mixtures led to names such as Maroons, which some define as escaped animal. Cimarrón is the spanish root word of Maroon, and the root of the word Cimarron is the spanish word cima, which simply means top, in relation to the mountains. So we were/are People of the Mountain or Mountain People, despite whether Europeans regarded us as feral. If you do a study, anything not fitting under colonial rule and law was considered wild, uncivilized, and a host of other pejoratives, simply because they resisted colonial control.
The Mountain Peoples on the island now called Jamaica (British rule - Jamaica, Spanish rule Santiago, Our rule - Xaymaka) was a diverse group of Yamaye, Moors, Akan, Fon, Garamantes (Koramanti), and Congo peoples. Out of this melting pot, the MYAL, the first organized spiritual expression to contend colonialism and oppression, European Supremacy, and disunity, was born! We are still here!
SO WHO AND WHAT ARE THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES?
They are a diverse body of people, most anciently connected to land and nation, and are the founding body of the entire planet. The reasons being is:
1) there is no need for belief (religiously) or conversion because Indigenous People have overwhelming evidence of their existence as founding members of the planet.
2) Indigenous Peoples encompasses the entire body of people of the past, the present, as well as the future.
3) The ancient aspect of Indigenous People can also be seen through the woman and her mitochondrial DNA, so the woman is first in that respect (and in other cases)
4) it goes back further than 6, 000 years (Adam), 4,000 years (Moses), 2,000 years (Jesus), 1, 400 years (Muhammad)
5) and it points towards the original and authentic beginnings of all Hominid or Working (Ergaster), Upright (Erectus), and Wise (sapiens) People - life in the millions of years in the making
The dominant faith systems today would want us:
1)to be converted to specific religious bodies that support the reverence of only select Indigenous Peoples and not the overwhelming majority
2)want us to believe in a short existence (4, 004 C.E.) for a planet that existed for billions of years.
3)want us to believe that life was created in segments and that the woman was created AFTER the man (false)
Much of the above ideas for the popular blind faith-based systems violate the Law and Order of the Nature (nature). This violates the truth behind the way Indigenous Peoples migrated out of the beautiful land mass presently called Africa.
Indigenous Peoples Migrations is ancient, a multi-level event spanning millions of years. Let us help fight for the preservation and survival of all the Indigenous!
