But Mwalim traces his ancestry not only to Africa, via Barbados, but also to North America — the first #NativeAmerican tribe that encountered the Pilgrims in the 1600s. He says he embraces both parts of his racial-ethnic identity. Many African-Americans claim some Native ancestry, often based on family oral history passed through the generations but frequently undocumented. Mwalim’s Native heritage is certain. He belongs to the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in Massachusetts. #HigherEd UMass Dartmouth
