Humanity did not spring forth from the Americas.
It got here from someplace else.
All of us.
Some of our ancestors walked over the Bering Straight Land Bridge, some of our ancestors came over by ship. Some of us came willingly. Some came grudgingly. Some were forced.
But we're all here now!
So, Happy Columbus Day!
The Lovely Harvey, a non-Dawes Blackfoot, rolls her eyes at "Indigenous People's Day" so hard that the click scares the cats.

It doesn't affect the validity of your position, but there's also the hypothesis that the earliest settlers in the US walked from Western Europe: along the edge of the icepack during the last glacial maximum.
ReplyDeleteWhat, contrary? Moi?
Perhaps even earlier. We're finding evidence that humans might have been here 10,000 years before the Bering Land Bridge existed, but when you could have trekked from Europe.
DeleteMaybe even some Neanderthals.
Science is still unfolding.
What heresy do you speak? SCIENCE IS SETTLED! How dare you question the official "Ministry of Truth" positions! Next thing you will probably be questioning climate change!

Blackfeet were very skilled natives. She could trace her ancestry and enroll. It is a lot harder these days.
ReplyDeleteFun fact! There is hardly any American Indian data in those ancestry places. Harvey did one and got her Mom's side of the family in detail and a message explaining that "while it is likely you have Native American ancestry, insufficient samples have been submitted to make a sure determination."
DeleteApparently there's some sort of aversion to using the 23 and Me type places among the American Indian population.
We've also found that if you can't trace to a Dawes Act ancestor you will NEVER be enrolled.
