The Word Binay means Strong Stone.
The Word is also
the pronunciation for
BlackIndians &
Intertribal Native American Association
The Word was
adopted by this tribe to express who we are.
A Native
American group of people who are mixed with other nationalities.
A very large
group of Binay are of African [Black] Ancestry. And since this is
The case we are
called BlackIndians. Though this group is controversial we are
in no way a hate
group or racist group. We are an Intertribal Native American
Association in
good standing and recognized in the state of IL as a legitimate Native
American Tribal group. Not all of our members are of African
ancestry.
We have some
full blood members, we also have blood quantum members as low as 1/16 Th.
We do not
discriminate or promote segregation and feel there is no place for it.
We do not
promote separation in
our communities. We believe this makes a people weak. We believe Together we
stand, divided we fall. Or we simply don't move forward. Though Some
Binay members do
live on Indian reservations most do not. This Tribal community
is not about
racism. We are about tribal unity. Something that we feel is needed
across Indian
country. We are here to serve the people and fellowship. We will continue
and promote our heritage
We will continue
to keep our Creator and we will continue to
assist and honor our elders.
We are The Binay
Tribe.
[Back]
The Binay Tribe was formed in 1989. In an effort to teach others
about Black Native Americans Chief Jerry Eaglefeather spoke of his
heritage to others and shared of his legacy. Having a father who is
full blooded Native American of Apache and Mohawk ancestry he was
taught much of his culture through out the years. Never feeling
fully connected to any ethnic group Eaglefeather set out to learn
who he was. Remembering the Cherokee story's of his mother, and
the Apache songs of his father he became a singer, dancer, and story
teller. Chief Traveled the Pow wows for over 25 years and learned
as he went along. With countless full blood family and friends he
now teaches Native traditions to those who care to learn.
