YOUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE HUNGARIAN EIGHTH TRIBE FOUNDATION WILL HELP US TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE YOUR HUNGARIAN HERITAGE FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HUNGARIAN-AMERICANS WHAT IS THE EIGHTH TRIBE? The Hungarian Nation when entering the Carpathian Basin in the 9th century A.D. was composed of seven Magyar tribes of Scythian origin. Many hundreds of years later some of the people left Hungary for a newly discovered land — and this segment became the Eighth Tribe. To those who were born in this land, speaking or not the Hungarian language, Reformed, Lutheran, Catholic or any other faith, even if Only a trace of Hungarian origin in them, to these this Magazine is dedicated. There are many social activities pursued by today's generation to further or keep up some of the Hungarian customs in their own respective areas. We would like to bring all these to our readers, so they know what is happening in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, New York, Florida and California or wherever it may be. Send us pictures and descriptions of your groups. There are many of the second and third generation, who have achieved distinguished fame in their fields. We would like to bring this to the attention of our readers, so all of us can be proud of their achievements. The first issue of The Eighth Tribe was published April, 1974.
