Are the berries of the black tupelo (black gum) tree poisonous?

I think I have a black tupelo (black gum) tree in my yard. I've researched the tree online but cannot find information about it's fruit. It has small black berries. I need to know if the fruit is poisonous to people. I have a small child and don't want to find out it's poisonous after he's accidentally eaten a berry. Thanks.
