Concerning the Washitaw claims of U.N. recognition

[Ens]

Hey guys.  I was wondering if anyone had any more information about this.  There are a bunch of Youtube users that have been promoting the Washitaw claims and someone posted a bunch of text with the names of Indigenous organizations and non-Indigenous organizations during some U.N. council.  I googled it and found this:

Washitaw is way down at the bottom of the page.  So my question is: Does the U.N., and to an extent, foreign nations like France, etc., recognize these Washitaws as a legit First Nation or were they simply attendants at this council?  This seems to be their main argument for the legitimacy of their claims as the oldest Natives in the Americas.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Richard Kieninger was involved with the Washitaw. Write me for the details on this group.

I hope this gets you to the right videos:

Richard Kieninger was "involved" with the "Washitaw".

Richard Kieninger also worked with David Hatcher Childress,
who worked Frank Joseph Collin, (who worked with Russell Burrows)
who worked with Wayne May,
and all of them "work" with the "Washitaw".

It's sad really, but it's also outrageous.

Go to your Barnes and Noble, or your Borders, and you'll find Ancient American
and World Explorer magazine. 

The the only way to stop this confusion is  to expose it.

Will you help?

I only watched some of the videos linked to this issue, but the gist of it to me seemed that these black folks are claiming to be the original people of the Americas. Sounds like a southern version of Malachi York and the Nauwabians. Bad archeology, sociology, and history. "Queen of the Washitaw" guess that is more exciting than head of the A.M.E. choir at your local church. Deserves a BS button.

You see the associations, but this is far more serious than a few black folk
who sadly have lost their own history and are trying to claim others'.

Write me off list for the whole story.
