A research article on what the OLD record actually classified American aboriginals as: the Virginia colonial laws (1666-1705) and the census/tax rolls (1782-1900) put Indians in the SAME non-white category as negroes and mulattoes — "colored," "negro," "mulatto." Negroes and Americans were distinct peoples, but the old record classified their appearance in the same heading. Based on primary old records (Hening's Statutes, the 1705 act, the census), mapped by Kurimeo Ahau / Jack D. Forbes.
