Something else to look at

Someone sent me a link to this timeline

http://www.geocities.com/manahoac_saponi/Timeline.Html

The site owners have a notice that anyone is free to re-publish anything on their site. If no one objects I'm thinking about adding it to our permanent articles linked off the main page. I've only scanned it yet, but it looks good so far. Let me know what you think.

Hi Linda,

I think that is Ga-Nc Collins website, isn't it? I have come across it before in Google searches. I haven't read it in any detail yet either. I need to do that. If we include it on the permanent articles links, should we also include links to the other groups (Haliwa-Saponi, the Sappony of Person County NC and Halifax Co VA, the Eno-Occoneechi, the Occoneechi Band of the Saponi Nation in Hillsborough, and the Saponi Nation of Ohio, etc.)

The site belongs to a Joseph Newman. Never heard of him before. He has an enrollment that he says is based purely on descendancy. The only way to stop being enrolled is to ask. No socio-political dynamics involved, apparently, which is interesting.

I wish we could have settled with something like that when we were trying to organize the Eastern Siouan Descendant's Association. Just kept it simple and impersonal. Maybe it wouln't have meant so much to belong, but it would have kept all the sophomoric squabbling about who was cool enough to be "in" and who wasn't away. God, that stuff gives me the creeps.

If the timeline is factual, I'd like to reprint it. If anybody has time to do a check for that, I'd appreciate it.

Stacey is correct. That is GA-NC Collins' site.

Hi Linda,

Some of it was already posted on here in the "Betrayal of the Saponi, need original sources" thread.

If you want to add it to the permanent links, I don't mind looking the items up and sourcing them, so that the info is more complete. (My boys' have about 3 more weeks of football and baseball left in their seasons, so I will have more time to look stuff up then.) But, I wouldn't put it up there "as is". I think we ought to give credit where credit is due and a lot of it is copy/paste word-for-word from other people's work (Brenda's website, Haithcock's book, Jack Goin's website, Forest's work, this website, etc).

Yeah, I met a veteran at a powwow several months ago that identified as Manahoac. He directed me to the website and said it was run by Mr. Newman

Is this organization still in existence? Are there links to their sites?

thanks Allen
