Footreads, I love reading your flight of ideas. Writing here must be very therapeutic.
BlackFamily, it turns out that most Black Americans have no Native ancestry (or an amount that falls within statistical error). There's a small subset of descendants from Seminoles that took in runaway slaves and there was some intermarriage within that group, but most of the claims from the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctow, etc) come from the fact that they have Black slaves -- and they maintained slavery for a year AFTER the United States ended slavery. Cherokee Freedman until recently were considered part of the tribe, and the current status is up in the air.
