They're just as much americans as whites are. Neither are originally from America. One emmigrated from Europe, the other northern Asia. American is a broad term.
Spot on. I keep telling people there is no radical left, they have been gone a long time now and we know their names, Tecumseh, Cochise, Siting Bull, Ten Bears, and on and on and on. They stood and fought for thier people, not for themselves or for profit. There's your "Radical left".
We would be a better country if our native Americans ran the country they are the entitled leaders and owners of America America would be a better place if they led the country LED their country
I wish with all my heart we (the white people) could just be sent back to Europe and allow the Native American people their land back to govern themselves
Make America great again… no, not that America, you know, the right one, with a constitution. Well, not *that* constitution, but, you know, America. No, not the land of the free, we don't do that anymore, but, you know. America. The one with… *checks note* the good stuff? Just look it up.
The author depicts a sovereign world of Native nations whose members, far from helpless victims of colonial violence, dominated the continent for centuries after the first European arrivals. From the Iroquois in the Northeast to the Comanches on the Plains, to the Pueblos in the southwest.
Un peuple magnifique, beau et fier. Tout l'inverse de ceux qui les ont exterminés : brutes dégénérés sans conscience et sans âme, brutaux et simplets. La lie de l'humanité en action dont les descendants votent pour un Donald crypto fasciste.
You are right, Native Americans were here first, you live here & care for the land & animals. Seems European ppl living here conveniently forget that Native Americans care deeply for their environment.
Yes, we need to remember Native Americans as the native people of American continent, but also let's not forget that US Constitution gives us birthright citizenship, so a person with any physical characteristics is what Americans look like.
The more people of various cultures I see, the more ridiculous seems the claim that the pasty-white sunburned locusts that look old by 30 have "superior genes".
I always find it rather strange that a lot of Americans mention that they are “part German and part Irish”. Why say that when you are American? Is it to prove that you’re ultra white or something?
Actually the North Americans they killed when they arrived, were 7 feet tall, and had six digits on all hands, and were a very loving race, so yeah, not the first ones, sorry, just saying.
"O humanity! “Mankind” Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may ˹get to˺ know one another. Surely the most noble of you in the sight of God is the most righteous among you. God is truly All-Knowing, All-Aware."(Quran 49:13)
Actually it was evolution through natural selection.
Darwin's The Origin of the Species blew the Torah, the Bible and the Quran out of the water over 100 years ago.
I want to a place, with my bestie, in SD, called "Wall Drug". I'd never heard of it, & that drew laughs. But the art!!! And old photos!!! All indigenous produced. Talents!
Yes! You all are the original Americans! Knowone can ever take this away from you! My Grandmother was Native American, but l wasn't told much about her life! The only momento l have from her is an unfinished quilt! I cherish it! I think of her & my father when l'm out in my garden with nature! ❤️
You can't realy tell, because it depends on different immigrations, which aren't explored to this day.
For example Mexican culture has similarities to Ukrainian culture.
Maybe, you could say, that America isn't a source of origin, but immigration, like in Europe.
Currently, the nearest ancesters to native people are Japanese.
But, as Japan supresses different origins of its population, you can't really research this fact.
In Argentina, you've had even people, which were related to a stone age life.
The indigenous people had never seen such greed, manipulation, and the sheer deviousness that white people possess. They were not equipped to deal with it.
They were pretty well equipped at first. When the Americas were first invaded by Europeans, the Europeans didn't have such a huge tech advantage or numbers advantage.
But epidemics did a huge number on Indigenous peoples.
And once repeating guns were invented it was kind of all over.
I recognize the past crimes, but what I value more is the current ones.
Mention them but please we have to stop dwelling on them like this now.
Instead we have to focus on the rights currently being abolished for Native Americans by this Admin and push back so they get their rights back sooner.
This country wasn’t “America” until we invaders called it that. Thus I am not sure why we call them “American Indians.” What was this country called then, one name, many, or none?
not quite, that is how the great plains looked pre Columbus. It is not how the West Coast ever looked. And it is, certainly not, how America has looked for the last 100 years.
To be fair (no office) you can see how people in the olden days might have thought they were from india. Who knows, perhaps the USA is an Indian colony and should be handed back to india?
Cousin Dallas Goldtooth & relatives did you Jim 💙 the 1491s ( he’s also in Rez Dogs with so many indigenous wonderful actors- if you haven’t seen it it’s a MUST!) when I say cousin he’s a cousin to me & my family. Same Rez & band
Yes and for our people to finally be represented is always a good good thing esp with all the humor but also the truth about the native unalive etc epidemic . IF we had an actual president & legit cabinet etc they’d be doing everything to HELP & righting so many wrongs
They tried their hardest to erase us and wipe us out through broken treaties, removal, forced assimilation, blood quantum regulations, detribalization, the child removal act, and even denying our religious freedom. Sound familiar? We will continue to stand for justice and fight for our land. 🧡
Sadly, too many people in this country have been indoctrinated to ignore the Native Americans that populated these lands thousands of years before Europeans came. Show a photo of a person from any Native tribe in this country, tell them THEY were here first, then see how many are blind and ignorant.
Once upon a time the EU migrants(Cowboys) annihilated millions of native Americans & stole their cattle & gold .. in the scientific & civilized era the descendants became international burglars plundering natural resources and wealth of the poor helpless nations by the name of human rights defense 💀
100%! I get questioned about my identity & my indigeneity constantly! I find that those that must question have an ulterior motive. That usually involves falsely claiming their ownership of our ancestral homeland! Or they proclaim their grandparent is Cherokee! It’s always Cherokee for some reason!

He is a handsome man.
Beautiful customs.
Beautiful philosophies.
I stand in awe of Native Americans. 💙
You ever run into these kooks irl? 🤦♂️

Hey America,
this is your history . . .
💠 👊 💠
They could be my neighbors today.
NATIVE AMERICAN HISTORY.
OUR HISTORY.
For example Mexican culture has similarities to Ukrainian culture.
Maybe, you could say, that America isn't a source of origin, but immigration, like in Europe.
But, as Japan supresses different origins of its population, you can't really research this fact.
In Argentina, you've had even people, which were related to a stone age life.
(me included)
A real Disgrace.
Native American Indians were minding their own business, and living in harmony with the planet.
Sure Tribes fought, minor detail compared to 'our' destruction -
We've trampled Earth.
But epidemics did a huge number on Indigenous peoples.
And once repeating guns were invented it was kind of all over.
But you have benefitted from the theft, yes.
Likewise with me in Australia re: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Mention them but please we have to stop dwelling on them like this now.
Instead we have to focus on the rights currently being abolished for Native Americans by this Admin and push back so they get their rights back sooner.
Good PR move, trying to spread the word among friends is tough. Have to build that change in minds bit by bit.
If people really understood their roots, there wouldn't be so much hate in the world.
If you hate people for not coming in "the right way" (legally) like you/your ascendants, tough titties.
Only the indigenous people can be angry. Everyone else can shut it.

would be interesting.
There is only one race.
The human race.
Americans don't "look" any particular way. Race is a social construct.
