Though the work on which the miniseries was based was presented as a novel and though he freely admitted dialogue and particular situations were fictional, Haley claimed that he HAD discovered the home village of his ancestor Kunta Kinte and heard a tale from a griot that coincided with his family tradition that his ancestor was captured while finding wood for a drum. Since his death his claims have been largely discredited including by his friend Henry Louis Gates.
