In the eastern part of the United States, particularly in the southern and middle-Atlantic portions, are a number of populations groups, so-called \u2018ethnic-island,\u2019 whose members combine, in varying degrees, the characteristics of Caucasoid, Negroid, and Indian racial stocks. To quote W. H. Gilbert, Jr., who has written extensively of mixed-blood groups, these racial islands<\/p>\n

seem to develop especially where environmental circumstances such as forbidding swamps and inaccessible and barren mountain country favor their growth.\u00a0 Many are located along the tidewater of the Atlantic coast where swamps or island and peninsulas have protected them… Others are farther inland in the Piedmont area<\/a> and are found with their backs up against the wall of the Blue Ridge<\/a> or Alleghenies<\/a>. \u00a0A few… are to be found on the very top of the Blue Ridge and on the several ridges of the Appalachian Great Valley<\/a> just beyond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A sufficient number of these tri-racial groups<\/a> has now been reported in various sociological and ethnological journals to make possible a study of the names employed to distinguish this type of mixed-bloods from mixed-bloods of bi-racial origin, such as mulattoes<\/a>, quadroons<\/a>, octoroons<\/a>, etc., or from \u2018pure\u2019 bloods of one of the three principal racial stocks, i.e., whites, Indians, and Negroes. From the alphabetical list which follows have been excluded names of ethnic groups which perpetuate Indian tribal names for example, the Nanticokes<\/a> and Houmas<\/a> mentioned in Gilbert\u2019s \u2018Memorandum\u2019; or the surviving Powhatan<\/a> tribes of Virginia<\/a>, the Cherokee<\/a>, and other Algonkian<\/a> and Iroquoian<\/a> descendants in the Eastern Woodlands<\/a> area with tribal organizations.<\/p>\n
