Monsieur Chretien,
It has come to my attention that Your rolls indicate Joseph Castille as an enrolled member of the Atakapa-Ishak in the 1800s. However, Mr Joseph (Jose Castillo) is originally from New Mexico under Perrea’s Regimen. He was my Grandfathers uncle. Also, related to the Chatah Apache there in Zwolle, LA. How beautiful our ancestors have brought me to you. I too, am new to the Position of Chief and am here in New Mexico just up from Texas. There are Many Castillo across the South due to the Indians Wars. We too had been searching for our true Identity as Native American taken down to San Luis Potosi, Mx in 1846 as indentures servants later brought back as Warriors fighting against each other in order to stake claim to land as veteran land lots by the UNION, CONF,Spanish, La/Cuban, French battalions. As we are nor fed rec in tx. I am putting together many bands,clans and tribes. I am asking all Texas Region tribes, bands, clans to send me a letterhead of the Tribal roll count. The reason being AICCNM(American Indian Chamber of Commerce of New Mexico may be able to help us establish Incorporated, Native Peer Recognized Organizations mixed race or not. The Native American Summit will be May 28, 2013.
If you can make that day please contact me. You can stay in my home. It will be confined but you will save a little bit.
feel free to contact me. I love the history of our people and how our ancestors came into contact.
