Afro-Indigenous peoples, or Black Indigenous peoples, are ethnic groups in the Americas that are both Black and Indigenous.
Background Afro-Indigenous peoples can have Native American ancestry or kin ties. Others were adopted into pre-existing tribes throughout the Americas. Afro-Indigenous peoples can experience Anti-Black racism due to their appearance, and can also feel ostracized from Indigenous communities.
Some Afro-Indigenous peoples are the Garínagu, the Afro-Seminoles, and a portion of the Miskito.Multiple sources:
