We won't ever have a president born in India. However, we would do well to have a Native American president. In our culture here, as well as elsewhere, tribal leaders assume a heavy task. Decisions are to be made with thought to how they will affect ppl seven generations down the road. Imagine that. No more "Hey, let's mess with that country over there, it's got oil/rare earth elements/drugs/something else we want." No more "Pah on this national forest, we need the wood." No more "Screw this pristine salmon stream, we want the gold that's buried here."

It's not an assumption. Also, there is some evidence that ppl did cross back and forth during the times when the Bering land bridge was open. Many archeologists/anthropologists also believe that some North American immigrants came via boat.
Last week my university announced that we no longer need to choose a minor. WTF! I was going to minor in anthropology. Nevertheless, I'm still going to fill out my requirements with some Anth courses.

I'm a white "illiberal" progressive, kid. The only time I hear/read someone calling New World indigenous ppl "American Indians" it's either in an older book or on some older person's social media or vid.
You're desperate to hang racism or some other nastiness on us. Clean your own party's closet out first. I can tell you which party is not favored by your kind.

You might find this interesting! I was amazed to read that the Bering land bridge idea was first written about in 1590.

Thanks for agreeing that the Clovis people were the first to immigrate to North America; but they did no absorb those who crossed later, because the inverse is true.
But then, those who followed the Clovis people more then likely committed genocide against the Clovis people.

The known archaeological record is unequivocal: homo sapiens reached Siberia and northeast Asia first, about 40,000 to 50,000 years ago, then reached the Americas about 15,000 years ago.
Any other claim about the chronology of events is sheer speculation unsupported by a plausible body of evidence
