you can't say that either one is better.. that would be ignorant.. but understandable if you are one of those two races.. because people are always trying to represent.  But both are of Asian decent..  they kinda look similar,, but defiantly not the same... with different cultures and basically they are just different... its like comparing Mexicans and Puerto Ricans

My answer is easy, Paiute Tribe on my Dad's side, going back at least 10,000 years and Pomo & Wailaki tribes on my mom's side going back at least that long also.  It's easy to trace my native american lineage.

They are genetic. Native Americans have very little or no facial hair. Where as european and nordic peoples have abundant facial hair.  People of Asian decent also have very little facial hair. It all has to do with your racial genetics.

Back to sqaure one, my oft repeated answer to such q's (apt, and anyway  it does get me two points) \n\nI wonder if the original native Americans (Red Injuns as you called em) had a say in the matter when the whites from across the ocean invaded their country and all but exterminated them.\n\nYou, dear person are also a descendant of immigrants yourself, I'm sure, as are most of the white and black American folks replying to you, unless you are of Native American descent (which I am sure you would not be proud to proclaim, if you were). Even the guys who came over on the Mayfair, they initiated the unjustness by being the harbingers of terror that culminated in the annihilation of native Americans\n\nI wonder when the Caucasian will ever get over the white 'massa' superiority complex?\n\n\nAmerica has been drawing people from all over the world, right from the days of it's discovery as a land with the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Give it some more time, you'll end up with an exodus of people, as is happening among the immigrants from India which is gaining from the Brain Gain as opposed to the earlier brain drain.\n\nI remember when my cousin migrated to the US in the seventies, people had similar complaints about the Indians.\n\nTh reverse is happening now, a number of western countries have their top people insisting on an India stint, and the Indians, well they wanna come back to their roots.\n\nSo this is gonna happen with the 'greasers' as you seem to allude to the people of Mexican descent in your polite, but hard hitting questions in the immigration section of Yahoo Answers!

I'm Native American specifically Mi'kmaq and I love it. I love all the respect that's found in the culture. It makes me unique because there aren't a lot of Native Americans left compared to all of the other nationalities. I love going to pow wows and seeing everyone's beautiful regalia. It's just amazing.

Asian Americans are good for people from oriental descent. American Indian is more difficult to evaluate but is good for Native Americans. Hispanic according to what they told me is for people that descend from countries colonized by Spain or Spain.

I assume you re referring to the native north American peoples,they are impoverished due to my ancestors the euro/whites who raped their women,stole their land,and murdered their people,and have held them in captivity within the indian concentration camps.\nThe great and proud peoples of the many bands deserve better.

It depends on the person.  I'm not offended by being called Indian, becuase I know that that is how most people know my people.  I just think that native american shows more respect because it calls to mind the fact that we were originally on this land before the europeans and the struggles that we went through.

I presume you mean Native Americans.  As someone with both Native American and European blood in them, I can answer with a little less bias.  Humans have been spreading around the globe since we left Africa About 74,000 years ago.  We took the land from the Neanderthals.  If they still existed today, they'd be complaining as much as the Native Americans do.  And, to some extent, they have the right to.  The Europeans thought they were the civilized ones, and instead of learning what the Indians had to teach about living with the land, they just took it away.  The Europeans went about things in the wrong way.  Like bullies taking over the school playground.  I think the Indians took it far better then I would have. I have more European blood than Indian, but I have to side with the Indians on this one.  Some Indians take things to far, but the vast majority do not.  As to Kenwick man ... irregardless of how old he is, he was here before the Europeans, therefore, must be Indian.  I think, however, they are foolish to obstruct scientific investigation.  Don't they want to know about their ancestors and where they came from.  I hope this helps ... the question is rather vague.

France, Native Americans.

Why choose? I like both.  Of course, I have a Native American mom and an Irish father - making me half of each.  The only real Americans are Native Americans.  All other Americans come from somewhere else - usually a mixture of other countries.

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?

Well, so far you have gotten asnwers for Both types of Indians in America.\n\nI do not care which type you are speaking of. My answer will be the same, na matter.\n\nThere are good and bad in every group of people.  I like the good. And, I dislike the bad.

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.
