In recent articles on American isolates (American Anthropologist 74: 693-7 34<\/a>) Beale, and Dane and Griessman<\/a> predicted change for \u201cmixed-racial\u201d communities in the United States stemming from the recent civil rights legislation. They alluded to \u201cRed Power<\/a>\u201d movements or associations and coalitions of some kind as mechanisms for such possible divergence from past models of behavior.<\/p>\n

These gentlemen have presented an excellent outline of the problems many \u201cmixed-racial\u201d isolates<\/a> have had to face. Dane and Griessman\u2019s North Carolina<\/a> example could serve as a model of almost every isolate group in the United States. Beale\u2019s chronology of group identity assumption gives us insight into the time-depth most isolate groups will exhibit. Both articles, however, lean too heavily on the \u201cIndian\u201d identity as both the isolate groups\u2019 own solution to its controversial background and as the ultimate role of all isolates.<\/p>\n

If we assume American isolates to be \u201ctri-racial,\u201d I believe we will see that their reactions to racial problems have been, and continue to be, three-fold. The Lumbee have chosen to be Red; the community around them has accepted this; so, we could consider the Lumbee as Indians. With the advent of recent civil rights legislation, I expect that the Lumbee<\/a>, and any other isolate group that has assumed a Red identity, will remain a cohesive group, possibly under a banner of Red Power. The Creoles of Mobile<\/a> have, on the other hand, often accepted the mantle of the Black man. Bond (1931:556) reported this, and I have seen evidence of this also in my brief acquaintance with the Mobile Creoles. I can only assume that, with the advent of civil rights legislation, this group will begin to identify with the Black Power movement (though not necessarily on a radical basis). I would expect any isolate group that has accepted a Black identity to maintain cohesiveness as a Black group…<\/p>\n
