A friend of mine recently told me about the Washitaw Nation. According to him, a certain “Empress Verdiacee Tiara Wahsitaw-Turner Golston El-Bey” talked the American Government into giving her back land that was taken from the
Black Mound Builders (Indigineous Indians).
After I finished laughing…I realized that he was serious. The link is http://www.netset.com/~khandi/index8.html/wshtwlnd.htm and for the Official Washitaw site, it’s http://www.washitaw.com/ (broken link when I got to it,
real reliable info, huh).
I have numerous problems with believing this.
- Never heard of it before
- The website article cited is by a real hate-monger, Mama Khandi.
- I have a hard time believing that Louisiana would ever agree to this.
Anyone know anything about it? Were there black mound builders? What’s with the Washitaw Nation? And who’s this Empress chick?
- Welcome aboard!
- I think it is more commonly spelled “Ouachita,” as it was French.
I don’t know anything more about this subject, but you should be able to find more info with that.

These people are classified by most as dangerous looney-tunes. It seems to be another (rural) separatist movement using a mixture of anti-government retoric gleaned from the Posse Comitatus cranks in the 70s mixed w/ equal parts new-age sewage and black nationalism. http://www.splcenter.org/cgi-bin/goframe.pl?dirname=/.&pagename=sitemap.html that is the Sothern Poverty Law Center and their take on the group
They are much like the “nuabian nation of moors of the yamacraw nation” here in N.E. Ga., a scam to separate already poor (and ignorant) people from their money.
