Have you ever heard of the Florida Seaside Indian Tribe?

The Establishment of the Florida Seaside American Indian Tribe predated the current American Government and its requirements to seek tribal acknowledgement

The tribe consists of descendants of President Andrew Jackson parents who were emigrates from Ulster, Ireland which were African and Indian Scots-Irish colonists named Andrew Jackson and Elizabeth Hutchinson both Presbyterians 

As part of the treaty to end the war with the American Indians it is believed and an established tradition that the conquer take one of the Indian Chief’s daughters as a bride. President Andrew Jackson wed Hannah a light skinned Blackfoot Indian and loved her and his children from their union until the day he died.

His last words as his children and wife surrounded him as he passed was “Be Good My Children and Be Prepared For The Changes To Come”

President Andrew Jackson’s brother from the same parents was too dark skinned to pass as a Caucasian Man at that the time in America and was subsequently sold into slavery.

American History is and wasn't kind to President Andrew Jackson due the color of his skin, relationship with his real wife Hannah and his unwavering loyalty and love to his true family.

Due to the traditions of the time he was unable to disclose and publicly honor his marriage to Hannah and was subsequently required as President to marry a Caucasian woman who was beaten by her husband after a rumor spread she had been with the handsome light skinned Irish Blackfoot Indian President. The forced union never resulted in biological children as his REAL Indian sanctioned marriage to Hannah did. Rachel Jackson adopted Caucasian children to increase the Caucasian population of Hermitage.

The biological Indian Light and Dark Skinned male and female children of President Andrew Jackson grew up early and were educated. The boys became men quickly and started having children at age of ten years old.

After Emancipation the biological Indian Light and Dark Skinned male and female children of President Andrew Jackson spread throughout the US often changing their names for protection or the names were switched due the inadequate records recording of the time.

US Army Drill Sergeant Andrew Jackson Hannah Sr (1898-1992) settled in the Panhandle of Florida the land his Grandfather purchased as part of a treaty after the end of the war with Britain and Spain creating the Seaside Indian Tribe which remains until this day.

The dark and light skinned tribe members continue the tradition of valuing education, religious freedom, unconditional unwavering support, respect, and love for family as they live as African Americans in the United States.
