The Walden & Goins Clan of the Carolina Sandhills
The Walden and Goins families are two related families with have intermarried and lived side by side in the Sandhills region of North Carolina, where the Coastal Plains transition into the Piedmont. Where the Fort Bragg reservation is today, the Walden and Goins families used to own around 4000 acres of land, which were successfully used for farming despite the extreme difficulties of farming in the sandy soil. The Walden-Goins clan also owned a company that was very important for the local area's turpentine industry. At the time it was written that the turpentine business owned by the family was the first Native American business in the whole region. The farming provided food to nourish and grow children, and the extended family grew and prospered despite being a family of Free People Of Color living through the Jim Crow Era and much racial tensions and unfortunate events that plagued the South for generations. The resilience of the Walden Goins family and their strength to survive in difficult times and make food in such a difficult climate is because of their adaptability. The Walden-Goins Clan are part of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community. Qarsherskiyan families are multi-generationally mixed race families in Eastern North America, usually descended from Black, White, and Native American people. The Walden-Goins family's progenitors originated in coastal Virginia as Tidewater Creole people, one of the main sub-groups of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community which also includes mixed race families in parts of Appalachia and even in Ohio in Madison County, Pickaway County, and Darke County. Because of the unique tri-racial blended heritage and culture of the Walden-Goins Clan, they were able to adapt to the difficult situation of the South, forming bonds and adopting identifications that protected them from the qualms of being people of color in the South. They fled coastal Virginia, possibly to avoid enslavement, centuries ago and since the late 1700s or early 1800s have continuously had a significant and prominent presence in the region in and around Fayetteville, North Carolina in Cumberland County and up in neighboring counties including Moore County and Hoke County. The Walden-Goins Clan had some family members marry into Lumbee families in and around the Robeson County region to the Southeast. The Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina is another multi-generationally mixed race group of foundational American families with Native American, Black, and White ancestry. Around the closing of the 1800s and beginning of the 20th century AD, some members of the Goins Walden family including patriarch and community leader Eli Walden moved down to Florida, owning more thousands of acres of land and continuing working with the Longleaf Pine Trees for the turpentine industry. Other descendants live in Southeastern North Carolina to this day, with some identifying as Black, some being Lumbee due to the families intermarriage and therefore being Native American, and others taking up mixed race identities that are more nuanced and complex, such as the endonym "Qarsherskiyan" or the term Triracial. Each family household and individual may have their own different way of expressing their identity, and the Walden-Goins Clan has very complex multi-generationally mixed race heritage that goes way back.

Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Community Harassed By White Supremacist Internet Trolling Ring
Many people have seen posts made online by internet trolls falsely claiming that the group of multigenerationally mixed race families with roots in colonial America were a "fantasy identity" or false claims that the identity was newly invented in 2023 or 2024. These claims are not just wrong, they are harmful to the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community, as hundreds of people have seen these posts on social media, believing them and sharing them, spreading harmful misinformation that has caused members of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community to be harassed and even some reported receiving death threats. Internet trolls have tried to mess with members of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community and undermine the pride that some mixed race individuals had in their unique and intersectional identities. A variety of false claims ranging from their being criminals who are in charge of the whole community to the community not even existed have been made in posts circulating the internet as people share misinformation they believed without fact checking on social media. The origins of the misinformation seems to be from a small group of Internet users who have been tied to several accounts on Stormfront and other social media websites used for spreading hateful rhetoric and White supremacy. Some of them have impersonated members of the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community and made controversial statements on the internet and then used this as forged evidence to try to smear multiple social media users from the Ethnic Qarsherskiyan community, with victims of these defamation campaigns and libel-filled posts including members of the Napper, White, and Whitelow families of Madison County, Ohio and some of their descendants living across the USA.

Making The Ethnic Qarsherskiyan Community: 1991 Ethnogenesis And 2019 Coming Out
The ethnic Qarsherskiyan community is a multigenerationally mixed race community with deep roots in colonial North America, mainly in the United States of America and in Canada. The homeland for the ethnic Qarsherskiyan people is a broad patchwork of land like a giant and expansive checkerboard, running through the Appalachian Mountain network from Happy Valley-Goose Bay in Labrador and the island of Newfoundland in Canada to the Roanoke Valley in the US state of Virginia, passing through the US states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and the Canadian Provinces of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. The Mezhrevande consists of the Southeastern Coastal Tidewater Region, which is the Piedmont and Coastal Plains or Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, and all of Florida. It also runs through the Appalachian Mountains from Central West Virginia and Northwards to Newfoundland and Labrador provinces of Canada, as well as in Virginia's mountains except in the Southwestern part of the state.
