TRIBE OF DAN AND THE NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS

DAN, ESAU, and “REDSKINS�

Gloria Stewart theorized that the Dene tribes (the name used for themselves by the Apache and other
Athabaskans, i.e., Navajo) are derived from the Han tribe in China, thereby fitting in with traditional scholarship
explaining the origin of many of the cultures in the western portion of America.(1)

Research has shown a Celtic element in Dene, presumably via the Italic-Celtic of the Tokharian B dialect of the
northern Tarim Oases and the Sino-Tibetan border of Kan-su, or else via more recent incursions of Celtic
culture across the Atlantic.(2)

Apache (Dene (Dine) —from “Danâ€� —meaning “peopleâ€�) (also includes Navajo) comes from â
€œapachuâ€� (Ponchteca — Mayan name for “trading peopleâ€�), which is a Zuni word for “enemy.â
€� Apaches also called themselves T’inde or lnde (a.k.a. Dene). They were late comers to America from
Asia, from the time of Ghengis Khan’s Mongol escapades (1233- 1300) up to the 1400’s and even
later. They were excellent horsemen. The same area of China where the red-headed and white people are
buried is a high plateau and mountainous area containing a people (today) who are the best horsemen in Asia
and who spend much of their lives on horses. Is there a possibility these Apache and Navajo (Dene) peoples
were influenced so much by Danites (who drifted eastward from their captivity in Assyria before turning and
heading west) that they called themselves after that name?
Note the Alibamu Indians’ similarity to the Hebrew word, “Oholibamah,â€� meaning “tent-dweller.â
€�
“Mandan� is a Siouan word. Mandans called themselves “Numakik,� meaning “people.�
There is some evidence that the Sioux red people were seeded by the Danites Ireland and Scandinavia. Many
similarities exist, including their tall statures and their same sweat lodges. Ref: The Kensington Rune Stone

The Arikara were Tanish (“original peopleâ€�). Dan (“peopleâ€�) and ish (the Semitic morpheme for â
€œhuman beingâ€�).

Rok (“crow,� “sparrowhawk,� or “bird people�); “Absaroke� is the Crow Indian
name for themselves. “Rok� is a morpheme and is also the snake totem (same as Tribe of Dan). Note
also “Tanith�: Patron saint of Carthaginian sailors. (Note Dan (Tan) and Esau/ Phoenicia)

Hopi(u) - “Hopituâ€� (“peaceful onesâ€�); note similarity to “Habiruâ€� - “Hebrew,â€� i.e., â
€œmoqui.â€�

Ojibwa (“Anishinabe�) (means “first people�). Note “ish� - Semitic for human being. Note
that the

Chippewa (Ojibwas) and Chippenham are probably variations of the same morpheme seen in â
€œKjobnhannâ€� (Copenhagen), which is pronounced almost identically to “Chippenhamâ€� by the
Danes.

Cherokee have said they have been told they are the lost children of Israel.

Early reports from North America include reference to Samoset, the Wampanoag chief who walked out of the
woods to greet the Pilgrims in almost perfect English.

There are many references to Gaelic (Welsh) and Hebrew speakers who claimed to be able to communicate
with the North American natives in their mother tongue.

The Salishan (Flathead) tribes of the Northwest called themselves “Se-lic,� a name reminiscent of the
Salic Franks of the time before Charlemagne, a time known as the “Migration of the Peoples.�(4)

What is even more interesting is that a sub-tribe of these Flatheads called themselves “Tuadhu�
(pronounced “thingyhu�). This is the exact same name as the general proper name for Franks and other
Teutonic tribes, all meaning, “The People.� Note also “Tuatha de Danaan.�

Ida Jane Gallagher, in some interesting research, found that whites in Connecticut wanted Indian land for
themselves and on April 24, 1729, negotiated with Chief Squantz of the Schaghticoke, a tribe of Algonquin
lineage, for it. The deed was recorded on May 9,1729, and is deposited in the archives of the State Capitol in
Hartford, Connecticut, today. The signatures (“marcks�) of the thirteen chiefs appeared to be a syllabary
or alphabet. Dr. Barry Fell has linked them to Basque and Ogam, the Indian deed signatures being the first or
first and second syllables of the chiefs’ names. Fell earlier had deciphered the Cypro-Minoan signatures of
Abenaki chiefs on a 1729 treaty with the British in Nova Scotia, Algonkian signatures on the Nipomuck Indian
deed to Sutton, Massachusetts, (1681), and others. Dr. Fell says that the Cree/Objibwa syllabary used today
has many matches with ancient Basque inscriptions. Epigraphers and linguists are learning that Amerindians
had writing systems long before Colonial times.(5)
The Cherokee tell of a 'white god' that appeared and gave them the knowledge of the written language. Later
they were tricked by another white man and the knowledge of writing was taken away from them.

All these (above) have been possibilities of Dan and/or other Israelite tribes mixed in with (or having direct
influence on) Amerindians. Briefly, can we find possible Esau-ites (Phoenicians) in America in Indian tribal
names?

Chitimacha (“man altogether red�) inhabited the Louisiana gulf Coast since 600 B.C.E.

Fox (“Sauk-Fox�) (“Meskwakihug� or “Meskwakie� - “Red earth people�) (These are
Muskogean.)

Catawba (also Muskogean) called themselves “Issa� or “Esaw� (“people�). Note ish.
Muskogean is of the Sioux linguistic stock.

Barry Fell said the alphabets in ancient America include Arabic, Berber, Carthaginian, Celtic, Cree, Cypriot,
Greek, Hebrew, Hiragana, Iberian, Kufi, Latin, Libyan, Minoan, Nashki, Norse, Punic, Tifinag. Tifinag,
remember, is an alphabet, not a language. Any language can be made using Tifinag. “Pima� is Arabic
or Semitic derived from Iberian Punic. “Zuni� is North African (Libyan).(6)

Fell thinks of the Pima Indians as descendants of some Celtiberian tribe that had been converted to the use of
the Punic language by Phoenician colonists in Spain, and whose more adventurous members migrated to the
Lands Beyond the Sunset under Phoenician leadership.(7)

His first attention was to a white leather sun-disk in the Pueblo materials in the Peabody Museum of
Archaeology at Harvard University, which had been obtained from New Mexico after a religious ceremony of the
Shiwi (Zuni) in 1891. On it was painted the Libyan letters T-M, a formula adopted in Egypt as the phonetic
rendering of “Atum,�

ShupShe, a learned Indian scholar of high rank in the Mide Grand Medicine Lodge of the Miami-Potawatomi of
Indiana, suggested that both the story-content and the actual vocabulary of these North African tales may have
reached the Pima from visiting Arab-Berber traders in pre-Columbian times or even later. Koranic influence is
apparent in the story of the Flood of Noah. Greek influence appears in the myth of Persephone and the Fables
of Aesop. Many of the petroglyphs in the deserts of Nevada, California, and Idaho (Wees Bar) are similar to
those of North Africa, including the name Mohamed and Koranic religious expressions.

“Balboa and other early explorers referred to scattered groups of white Indians, black Indians, and
traditions of pygmies .. �.
(9
white, North Africanâ€� tribes in the American Southwest that the Hopi, Zuni, Papago, Pueblo, etc. called â
€œthe ancient ones,â€� and whom we call Anasazi, Hohokam, and Mogollon. The big question, besides who
were they originally, is where did they disappear to between 1250-1300?

Dr. James L. Guthrie wrote in his “Comparison of Gene Frequency Distributions� about the
Melungeons, one of about 200 “isolate� populations of the Eastern U.S. who seem to be a union of
Europeans, Amerindians, and Blacks. The Melungians of Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina, including
the Lumbee Indians, are unique. His studies conclude that the Black portion turns out to be Portuguese; also,
none of them are Indians. Rollin Gillespie (a member of the Epigraphic Society) postulates that these
Melungeons descended from Milesians, the founders of Milan, who fled their Anatolian homeland in 494 B.C.E.
Most went to Ireland and Iceland by way of Cadiz. Gillespie relates Caesar’s difficulty in driving the
Melungeons from their island stronghold in 52 B.C.E., and suggests that some escaped to America. A portion
of the story tells that they were the friendly White Indians who absorbed the “Lost Colony� of Roanoke in
1587, an idea supported by the appearance among the Melungeons of family names that were present In the
Roanoke colony.(15)

Henriette Mertz, in Atlantis, Dwelling Place of the Gods, presents the case for immigration by Christian
Portuguese to Florida in 734 to escape the Moors. Anthropologists studied a sample, 177 people from
Hanthingy County, Tennessee, and Lee County, Virginia, and the results showed the Melungeons to be
Caucasian: more like Portuguese than English, with negligible input from Blacks or Indians. Briefly, all the data
shows no distinguishing differences between Melungeons and certain people of Libya, the Canary Islands,
Malta, Italy, Portugal, and Spain. This distribution generates a map, almost, of the Phoenician, or Sea-People
settlements. Nearly as close were certain populations of Ireland, Sweden, France, Britain, Germany, and the
Netherlands. Again, where we find Phoenicians being traced anywhere, Dan was among them.(16)

To conclude this, to this day the Portuguese laugh at the traditional story of Columbus. They themselves had
mapped Newfoundland and Nova Scotia by 1424 and their knowledge seems to have been based on centuries
of transatlantic navigation. Note, too, that some of the Mediterranean people (Phoenicians and Danites) were
called Phoinikes, meaning “redskins.�

To return briefly to Dan and Phoenicia in America, there was the legend of St. Brendan,(Tribe of Dan) who, with
a party of 17 monks, made a voyage to America in a leather ship 400 years before the Vikings and 1,000 years
before Columbus (all documented in Latin texts dating back at least to 800 C.E.). The round-trip voyage took
seven years. He reported things like pillars of crystal floating in the sea (icebergs). The boat was made of 49 ox
hides stitched over a wooden frame like a patchwork quilt. Tim Severn tells about finding in Ari, the Learnedâ
€™s Book of the Icelanders, dated 1133, a report that Vikings found “books, bells, and croziersâ€� left by
Irish priests on Iceland. In Greenland, the first Norse reported finding stone huts and fragments of skin boats.
These were not Eskimo boats, different completely from their kayaks.(17)

OANNES IS NOAH

Another voyage by an Irishman (Danite) across the Atlantic was that of Cuchulainn. The two best known figures
of South America are Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan, both reputed to be white men who arrived from and departed
to the east. According to Mayan records, Kukulcan arrived in 987 A.D. The Mayan hieroglyphic dates have been
verified by radiocarbon dating. I will skip the original and lengthy story, but the conclusion is that an Irish oral
history has an Irishman named Cuchulainn traveling westward to a new land and retuming...and also accounts
written in South America told that a “white man� named Kukulcan arrived from the east, stayed awhile,
then returned to his home. My interest in this is, of course, that we have just another record (of many) of Dan
sailing all over the world and especially of his coming to the Americas.(18)

“...and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.�

Jean Hunt tells how she read Lewis Spence’s Atlantis in America and of her finding in it an explanation of
who the Cabiri were. Spence apparently quoted Sanconiathon as saying that the cult of the Cabiri was of
Carthaginian origin and of its being associated with Osiris. The cult of the Cabiri appears to have been brought
from North Africa to Egypt and Greece. What is interesting about these Cabiri is that they are said to have been
the inventors of boats, of the arts of hunting and fishing, and of building and husbandry. They also invented the
art of writing and the use of salt and of medicines.(19)
Ref: Blessing given to Esau and Jacob ie. Phoenicia and Israel

Ignatius Donnelly in his Atlantis: The Antediluvian World. Among the ancient nations, there was a general belief
that the art of writing was known to the antediluvians. The Druids, for example, believed in books more ancient
than the Flood. They styled them “the books of Pheryllt,� and “the writings of Pridian or Hu.�
Berosus, speaking of the time before the Deluge, says: “Oannes (Noah) wrote concerning the generations
of mankind and their civil polity.� Noah would have lived during the time of the Anunnaki influence. )

If you can put Noah as Oannes, than you can then make the connection as well to the Dogans, which has the
purest record of history of the time when the people came from the sky and taught them the secrets of the
universe.

The Little People , Esau and Druidism

Continuing with Jean Hunt, the Hebrews preserved a tradition that the Ad-ami, the people of Ad, orAdlantis,
possessed, while yet dwelling in Paradise, the art of writing.
Jean Hunt attempted to prove that the “little people� found in most of the coastal regions of the world
were survivors of the flood of Atlantis. Most if not all these people were found on coastal areas of earth, and
were “red� people.

Could these people been (Esau-ites) , which would have fit with the blessings given Esau by his father Isaac.
Further conjecture would make creditable our belief that the Gods themselves taught Adam and Eve in the
Garden how to do many things, writing perhaps being one of them. Shem could have brought books across the
Flood with him and given them to Abraham, who passed them on down his own line. Shem, may have been
also whom Genesis refers toas Melchizedek. BUT
Shem also means...those that came down from the Sky.
Which again fits right in with the Dogon History .

Where, then, are these books today? Probably not in existence now, although some might have crossed over
the Flood only to disappear later, but not before parts of them had been copied or memorized then written later.
Again, the only complete reference to this period of time is found in the Dogon tradition.

Several Christian writers allude to the existence of a Druidic literature in ancient Ireland. We are told that St.
Patrick, in his Roman Catholic religious zeal, burnt 180 books belonging to the Irish Druids. Also St. Patrick
drove the snakes out of Ireland...Snakes referring to the Dan Tribe?

Druids knew and used Ogam (.the Ancient written language of the Celtic nations )Reading and writing were
against the law during that time. The Druids also had available to them the Mysteries of Alchemy which were
found in their ancient books later to be destroyed.
Fferyllt remains in modern Welsh as "fferyllydd" for chemist or pharmacist. Fferyllt is referred to as "Druid
Alchemists" ..."Books of Merlyn"
Lay persons illegally learning and using Ogam were given the “geasa,� the Druid death curse. With both
Caesar’s (Tribe of Dan) and later the Christians’ persecutions, Druidism disappeared from public
view. A 14th century Irish monk prevented its total loss when he copied some 70 versions of it from older
manuscripts into the “Ogam Tract� of the Book of Ballymote, now in the Irish Museum in Dublin, Ireland.
Robert Graves and Barry Fell both discovered and reported it (both independently) in modern books, The White
Goddess by Graves and America B. C. by Fell.(23)

It is these (alphabets and written languages) that Fell and others have found engraved in rocks all over the
North and South American continents, Europe, North Africa, and other places. That Europeans, Asians, and
Africans had no contact with this land before Columbus is a fantasy, still held, unfortunately, by some diehard
professionals who stick to their own pet theories and refuse to look at, or seriously consider, the facts.
