So anthropologists tell us, and I think it is true.  The islands between Alaska and Russia are the remnants of a peninsula that used to connect Asia with North America.  In the warmest weather, asians explored across this peninsula to the North American continent, and even down the Central American peninsula into South America.  This was in early pre-history, however, since the "land bridge" has been sunk for a very long time.  They separated into different gene pools a long time ago, and have only re-established contact in modern times.

I suggest to you that you read 'Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee' by Dee Brown; and '500 Nations by Alvin Josephy, Jr.\n\nMost American Indians, if you were to try to discuss openly and fairly with you, would tell you they are quite aware of the tribal divisions among our ancestors.\n\nThese divisions were pivotal in the taking of American Indian lands, as the French, English and U.S. played various tribes against each other by promising them positions of power if their side won.\n\nI believe European history is rife with these kinds of dealings amongst warring factions of peoples too.\n\np.s. who's the author of the book you mention?  And, how could the white hurry up the eventual downfall of the American Indian?  Downfall to who else? The only people to conquer the American Indians WERE the white man.\n\np.p.s. of course tribes fought against each other for control of food supplies, etc. If the early American soil was "soaked in Indian blood", as you suggest, how would you descibe European soil as being?  Europeans killed many more millions of each other before they even thought about sailing over here.\n\np.p.p.s. My e-mail is Wlvrne1964@yahoo.com, if you want to seriously discuss this in a rational way.  I'll address all 3 of your questions.

Never heard of such a thing. Are you sure? Where is information on it. That's like Jewish nazis, or a Native American republican.

Native Americans, there is a huge perception amongst people that all indians recieve money from the US government and from Casinos and are thus very rich.  Both are not true.

Hi.  This is a very interesting question and one that is close to home for me. I am a home educator and when I first began home schooling my children, like the year before, I brushed up on history.  So many things were difficult to tell my children, namely, the beginning when so many lives were lost during the Europeans taking over the land. I think what we walked away with year after year (now 10 years of teaching this topic) is that the native americans at first were quite puzzled as to why anyone would want to fight over this land, as they did not even view it as their own. The land didn't belong to them any more than the white man. If I am correct, they believe the land was there by \nGod(s) and we are to replenish it and respect it. White believed what ever they could take by force, should be theirs. Now I do not set around blaming Europeans any more than I hold present Native Americans responsible for the killings that some of tribes attributed to. But I do believe that lack of compassion is taught in our school books, when introducing America to our children. There are many Christian history books that I have bought and read and taught from however, that do teach this compassion to the original people, the Native Americans.  Interesing also is that some folks do not believe "native Americans" were the native people, but that vikings such as Leif Ericson were the first in North America.  Or maybe the Asians, who came across the Bering St. before the ocean covered it...and that is where native americans come from?  Sorry to be so lengthy. I just love history of America and this topic is near my heart.  God bless!

Native Americans... but I would not put it as "disputing European land claims".... rather the question should be "Who did the Europeans steal the land from" !\nThe native americans lived in what is now called america for thousands of years before the Europeans arrived to loot and plunder and commit genocides... this sounds harsh but it is sadly true.

I am native american, (seminole) very much alive and kicking.  There are still reservations in the US.  they are mostly located in New Mexico and Arizona.  Many of the Indians in the US run the tribal casinos that are goverened by their tribunal.

I fear your co worker is mistaken. \nResearchers have proven that the DNA of native americans came from asia. They have the black hair and blood types common to asians, not to Israelites.\nOne more hole shot in the Mormon bible....

Are you talking about people from India or Native Americans

Uhm... I think you've got things just a little bit distorted, lol. It's not the Indians who became the first Mormons. According to the Mormon philosophy, the first Native Americans were European settlers who turned brown when they first migrated to the new land. Hence, the first Native Americans.\n\nSo, perhaps the question you should be asking is, why don't Europeans (Whites or Caucasians) turn brown when they integrate into Native American culture?

Native Americans make up about 1% of the U.S. population.  This includes Alaskan Inuits (Eskimos).
