They migrated here, we migrated here.......

My thoughts exactly. I mean I can trace my roots to mid 1600's in NE. Is 400 years of ancestry not enough to be called an Indigenous American?

Let's see an actual Indian trace their roots back through anything other than verbal accounts while I have a paper trail.

Adam=really indigenous


Noah=indigenous

Now explain the differences.

Whites were capable of building infrastructure while natives lived off the land, similar to animals?

I wonder if the term indigenous has bee codified in federal law?

I've read a lot of stuff on the settlers' issues with Indians. The Indians were called 'savages' because they just didn't kill settlers. They tortured and mutilated them. But it wasn't without a strategy.

It was like Vlad the Impaler's idea of demonstrating his savagery to the invading foreigners. They would see the mutilated bodies and think 'These people are insane...let's go home'

The Indians displayed the brutalized corpses to the settlers to get the same reaction and expected them to leave. It backfired. The settler reaction was 'Damn, we can't reason with these monsters. We're just gonna have to kill them.'
