A Point of Clarification
Just because someone is white trash with a bit of Indian in 'em, does not make that person a Redbone. I'm just saying, that's all.
This blog is dedicated to the first mixed-race settlers who came to Louisiana in the early 1800s. Two hundred years later their descendants number in the thousands and are still bonded as a people through marriage and shared experiences. Most of us call each other cousin. We are beginning to call ourselves Redbones. We don't own the word, so a lot of people are inclined to get us mixed up with other mixed-race people in Louisiana.
