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.

The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes are a large network of trails suited for walking and biking and even horseback riding and canoeing on some parts. They connect Ethnic Qarsherskiyan communities on the Virginia Peninsula to the outside world, historically speaking, and have been around for hundreds of years, possibly dating back to the early 1600s. The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes mostly run through forests, marshes, and Bald Cypress swamps, connecting the cities of Newport News, Yorktown, and Williamsburg without touching any major roadways or neighborhoods. There is even a tunnel under Denbigh Boulevard called the AL-Qarsherskiyy Tunnel which allows people to walk across Denbigh without getting ran over. The trails and paths extend to Lake Erie and even down to Cape Hatteras in the North Carolina Outerbanks, meandering through Appalachia. The FBI and other organizations have trouble monitoring the trails and keeping track of the underground movement of spices, herbs, and other products from the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community, which they trade with the outside world using a battering system or using the US dollar. Its been suspecting that drugs have been smuggled along these routes, mainly Afghan Opium and Marijuana varieties and a plant from Yemen called Qhat, but such claims are unfounded and aren't substantiated.
The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Trade Routes manage to sneak right passed the Huntington Pointe Neighborhood in Newport News, Virginia and they even have a tunnel under Denbigh Boulevard.

Carmel Indians

The Carmel Indians are a subgroup of the Melungeon tribe from Western and Southern Ohio.

Melungeons are a varied group of Sweetgum Kriyul people primarily concentrated in the Eastern USA, especially around the Appalachian Mountains, with Carmel Indians of Ohio being an exception to the norm of Melungeons being in Appalachia. The ancestors of Carmel Indians came up from Kentucky and Virginia long ago in more than one wave of migration. Today, Carmel Indians maintain ties with other Sweetgum Kriyul tribes such as Brass Ankles of South Carolina, the Ethnic Qarsherskiyans, the Lumbee people, and others. They also maintain connections with the other groups of the Melungeon tribe like the Chestnut Ridge People.
Carmel Indians are mostly from Ohio in the West and Southwest of the state and the deep southern part of the state. Many had moved to faraway cities for better job opportunities though. Some are in Detroit or even further away.

Carolina Parakeet

The Carolina Parakeet (Conuropsis carolinensis) is the only Native parrot in the Eastern part of the United States of America and the Southern parts of Ontario and Quebec provinces in Canada and in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Carolina Parakeet lived in the Great Plains and along the front range of the Rocky Mountains near Denver and North to the Great Lakes and New England and Southern Canada and South from there to the Piney Woods area of East Texas and South and East from there to Virginia Beach and Florida.

Carolina Parakeets are believed to be extinct by many, the last notable sightings of these parrots were recorded in the 1930s. They are sacred to some Native American tribes and to Ethnic Qarsherskiyan people and hold an important place in the Aliyite religion, with many Aliyite Muslims believing Carolina Parakeets copied Imam Ali's sermons, as parrots tend to copy voices, while Imam Ali was in North America - preceding to fly for many miles all over their range, speaking religious matters, causing Native Americans to hear and convert to Aliyite Islam - and so they're considered to be the sacred messengers of Imam Ali.
Carolina Parakeets, along with Spanish Moss, Dwarf Palmetto Palms, Bald Cypress trees, Southern Live Oak, and other symbols of historic Newport News, Virginia are sacred symbols for many in the local Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community.

Orisha Ogun

Orisha Ogun is believed by Aliyite Muslims to be an African iteration or continuation of Imam Ali in the land of the Yoruba people of Western Africa. He may have also visited the Native Americans of North America, with Carolina Parakeets as his winged messengers who repeated dawah knowledge and spread it by the wing by flying far away and mimicking Imam Ali/Orisha Ogun's spiritual sermons.
Imam Ali was the first caliph, Ogun was the first Orisha, an Aliyite Muslim is a son or daughter of Ogun, two in one, the first of all. Imam Ali is Orisha Ogun.
