Don Little Cloud Davenport at the
Annual Indigenous Peoples Day Pow Wow
at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Berkeley.
Berkeley rejected Columbus Day in favor of
Indigenous Peoples Day in 1992.

     My grandfather Ganer Proudman Knight was Chickasaw and African-American (Sudanese), and was accepted by the Tribal leaders to live among the Seminoles where he sired two sets of children born by two sisters Lulu Eastman and my grandmother Estell Eastman (born on the Crow Creek Reservation in Florida). Together there were three daughters: Rose, Mary, my mother, Decilla, and three sons, Anderson, George, and Charles (Columbus).

     My mother is Seminole/Creek/Chickasaw and African-American.  I am a Seminole with Muskogee Creek/Chickasaw and African ancestry. I am of the Bird Clan and a direct descendant of the Ancient Nubian Empire.

     I was born in Jackson, Michigan, on one of the routes of the Underground Railroad where slaves fled to Canada.
