American Indians

Eagle-Eye said:
If one lumps all Native American as one group then yes we are the only indigenous people in the US. However we are all in separate tribes with different beliefs and customs so in truth each tribe is a separate indigenous US people.

I don't think the eastern tribes are part of the same tribe as western tribes,I think western native Americans are closer related to Asians then eastern native American tribes

I would think more "legal minds" would let Native Americans/Indians etc, address themselves as they see fit. Not what white politically correct people see as "fit".

That's exactly what I just said, Sailor. The ppl themselves prefer to use the term "nation" over "tribe."

And just what makes you think that. Bear in mind each tribe is unique to it's self so no the were never related.

No, all indigenous North Americans are descended from the same ancestors, according to mDNA. Also too, some of the western nations' languages fall into the Algonquian family, languages spoken along the eastern seaboard, through the Great Lakes and across much of Canada. Cool article about the migration and DNA findings:

t the end of the last ice age, about 11,500 years ago, ancient people buried two infants at a residential campsite called Upward Sun River (USR) in what is currently central Alaska. Now, the whole genome sequence of one of the infants—a six-week-old named Xach’itee’aanenh T’eede Gaay, or Sunrise Child-girl by local Native Americans and USR1 by researchers—has revealed that she was part of a distinct and previously unknown group descended from the same founding population as all other Native Americans. The findings were published today (January 3) in Nature.

“USR1 really provides the most definitive evidence for all Native American populations in North and South America deriving from a single population,” says University of Florida geneticist Connie Mulligan, who did not participate in the study. “In other words, there was only one wave of migration over to the New World to settle both continents until much more recent times. It’s the final data in support of a single migration.”

I never said all native Americans weren't related,I said Indians on the West coast are closer related to Asians then to East Coast Indians.

I know. That's not true. All New World indigenous ppl share common ancestors. Those ancestors crossed over from what is present-day Russia to present-day Alaska. Every single Native American person shares genetics with those first people. The west coast nations are no more "Asian" than the central and eastern nations.

Good to see actual expertise make an appearance

You would be surprised how many of us attempt to be arm chair experts !

Interested laymen serve their purpose. The First Nations wouldn't have had a voice at all without us.

NOPE!!

But if weren't being so defensive, you might have realized that I was supporting your comment.

Haw, haw......haw.
What you were actually doing was fishing for some form of confirmation that your erroneous notion that there were no indigenous people and that your wish that palefaces had a right to be called ' indigenous' was fulfilled. That's OK- good try. I hope you'll accept the truth now.

And what you apparently are unable to understand, is that "Native Americans" are no more or less an indigenous people, then the majority of people now living in the US.

That's proof enough that my analysis of your comments was correct. Don't fret- nobody is going to send you back to Europe.

"Most"? Trump won the vote of white college educated. Are most of them on welfare?

Not everyone who voted for Trump is a Trumpcuck. A lot of people just felt he was the lesser evil. I know lots of people who voted for Trump but accept that he should be impeached now. Trumpcucks are still in denial.

I'm glad you agree that I'm correct and don't you worry either; because no one's going to send you to the ME. :good4u:
