Brass Ankles

The Brass Ankles are a tribe of Sweetgum Kriyul people, a triracial isolate Creole group mostly concentrated in Eastern North America with 1 to 2 million people. The term Brass Ankles was originally a slur, but the community it reclaiming the term, similar to Melungeons and other Sweetgum Kriyul tribes.

Brass Ankles are among the most friendly people I've ever met. They are a people of honour and dignity and have my respect because of this.
