Suggestions for more info[edit]

Some topic names to look for: JOHN MACKEY, LONGE TOME, and JOHN SQUIRES King of Aromattskeet/Mattaumuskeet Indians. (These were left on the article page by another editor.)--Parkwells (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tribe listed as extent[edit]

Please remove this. We are not extinct. The descendants of the Machapunga tribe are still here. Some still reside in Hyde County, North Carolina. I should know, I am a descendent. Brchance1 (talk) 02:14, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We rely on reliable sources, not personal claims. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 02:19, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who are You? What proof do YOU have that we are extinct? You would love for my people to be extinct. However, we are still here some still live in the present day Hyde County. Come to our powwow on September 22 in Manteo, NC and tell me how extinct I am.

I am merely working to ensure our articles adhere to our policies about reliable sources. And I would suggest that a people being "extinct as a tribe" does not mean there aren't descendants. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:25, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
