No one is “indigenous” to America. They did not spring up out of the ground here. You can claim that American Indians came here first, but that is not a metric of being indigenous nor does that make the land theirs
The hilarious thing about "land acknowledgments" is that they only acknowledge the group that was on the land at the exact time the European explorers arrived. No mention of how many times the land changed hands in the 20000 years prior to Columbus's arrival.
Or the fact that the “indigenous” population had no real concept of ownership and viewed property as temporary, hence the term Indian Giver.
Sure but white ownership did prevent the way they had been using the land before. I think the current understanding is that primitive people develop rights to some land via use. However I am not aware of a country that actually routinely affords them such rights. Brazil tries.
IRL primitive people have no rights and everwhere have been expropriated. Not sure who can be on their high horse about that.
To be clear Amerinds on the rez aren't primitive anything. That stopped a long time ago. They're just bums.
Or when their current land claim is for reservation lands bequeathed to them by the Crown as part of a resettlement program hundreds of kms removed from anywhere close to where their pre-contact ancestors resided.
Try to construct the definition of native that the left uses on any basis other than: the last person to be there before white guys arrived.
Or dont. I couldnt but some leftist claimed to me its not like that.
Which ones?
Can we get some Fs in the chat for Clovis culture

Bill Whittle (I'm old) did a video on this a long time ago in regards to Texas.
