There are many descendants of Native Americans who have run across census records showing their relatives being listed as white, negro or mulatto. History has shown this thought process to be correct and I found these articles listed below that validate the many many claims by descendants of this process taking place. One merely has to look at many census records to see the only two options for identification was black or white. In some cases the word mulatto was used. Feel free to read the articles listed below where William Plecker started a movement of paper genocide against Native Americans that started in Virginia and spread across the United States.
