There are no 'Native Americans'

All humans invaded America.

Many people agree that humans originated either in or near Africa and slowly spread across the planet. This means that besides the area of origination, there's no such thing as a native anyone.

 

The so-called 'Native Americans' may have found their way here first, but there are no true 'Native Americans.' There are some signs that they weren't even the first people here, but that's getting off the subject.

 

The word native, according to one of the definitions you'll find in most dictionaries, just means you were born in a place, so in that way, anyone born in America is a 'Native American.'

 

It may not be fair that the 'evil white man' came here and took over, but it's been said many times before that more advanced civilizations tend to dominate less advanced ones whether they intend to or not. So, there's no question about what usually happens when advanced civilizations intend to conquer less advanced civilizations.

 

Terrible things have been done by white men, but any help given to 'Native Americans' should be done because it's the right thing to do, not because this is their land. If your civilization doesn't advance quickly enough to protect the land you've populated from more advanced invaders, the sad reality is that you will lose it.

 

And to get way off the subject, that's why governments are so afraid of aliens from other planets. Advanced warlike aliens could take over the planet, not just a country. Even advanced aliens who are friendly and helpful scare them because the old ways would soon pass. Governments wouldn't have the power they have now if all humans were free from hunger, disease, and the need for money.
