About Ty Bat Zan
[edit]Greetings. I am an independent researcher, historical truth-seeker, and cultural preservationist contributing to areas concerning Indigenous American history, music legacy, and archival restoration. I focus on topics often underrepresented or misattributed in mainstream narratives, with an emphasis on original source verification, music authorship reclamation, and elder justice.
I am actively contributing to the proper recognition and restoration of Seabrun “Candy” Hunter Jr.’s rightful place in music history, especially his work with Little Richard and the 1970s rock revival. I also contribute research around genealogy, cultural identity, and misrepresented legacies of copper-colored American Indians.
My edits aim to:
- Improve accuracy and sourcing in musical biographies.
- Elevate overlooked contributions of marginalized artists.
- Promote historical transparency and correct misclassifications across Indigenous, African-American, and diaspora records.
Editing Interests
[edit]- Rock and roll legacy (1950s–1980s)
- Songwriter attributions and music publishing rights

Core Values
[edit]Truth. Legacy. Justice. Restoration. 🀄️🐲🔥❤️🔥💜💙
