The Washitaw Nation, or Washitaw de Dugdahmoundyah is a group of Black Americans that claims to be a sovereign Native American nation within the boundaries of the United States.[1]
The legal basis for the establishment of the Washitaw nation are based on a theory that individuals and groups may declare "sovereignty" and separate from state and federal governments.[2]
The group is headed by Empress Verdiacee Tiari Washitaw Turner Goston El-Bey. Goston asserts that the United Nations "registers the Washitaw as indigenous people No. 215"
