Is it true that the Mexicans are formerly Native American Indians, and the Americans now are former British?

Question

I just can see that the Mexicans have a more resemblance to the Native American Indians than the black/white Americans now.

Americans generally close their home doors for their parents and grandparents -- and send them to institutions. To the extreme, how dare Americans close their doors for their ancestors?

Answer 1

Wow!

Ummmmm, Mexico is America; central America. And Don't forget about South America.

All the tribes that have been found thus far in the Americas have DNA in relation to Asia.

I know this becuase there was a study done on indigenous tribes of the Americas to see if their was any relation to the Hebrews that the Mormons claim as history. All tribes from DNA, lingustics, and archaeology have come up negative on the connection to anything thing resembling Hebrew.

Although many Americans in the United States may be traced to England, the societies of those in the US are from all other nations. One society that would be considered 'homogenous' would be Japan.

Answer 2

The explorers called Native Americans and the Mexicans at the time Indians. They did not really know a difference. Both had tribes, etc. The Spainards bred with the Mexican Indians to produce the Mexicans we know today. Americans (the white man) came from settlers that came from Europe (not just Britian). The Indian statement I would say is false, but the American statement is true in a sense.

Answer 3

No. Mexicans mostly come from the Mayan or Aztec people. Native American Indians was a blanket term to include all of the native peoples encountered in what is now the U.S. Americans are from pretty much anywhere on the planet. I have absolutely no British ancestry, and I don't think I know anyone that does.

Answer 4

I think the first part is pretty true. Most Mexicans are mostly Native American with a bit of Spanish mixed in. But the Americans in the States are VERY mixed. I mean we have had so many big influxes of different people to say our ancestory is predominately British. Maybe it would be safer to say that the white Americans are predominately of European descent.

Answer 5

Interesting place to post this question. The answer is both yes and no. Most Mexicans are a blend of Native American tribes and the Spanish conquistadores. Americans are such a hugely diverse bunch of people that any one nationality won't cover it. Americans are Native Americans, African-Americans, descendants of British, Dutch, German, French, Irish, Japanese, Chinese, etc., etc., etc.
The original pilgrims were from Europe, but not necessarily Britain.

Answer 6

Cant speak about the Mexicans but yes Americans today have ancestors which came to America from all over the world, a large number coming from England and Ireland.

Answer 7

Well look at this. No they are related cousins and many tribes see Mexicans as there brother, but White man was smart to try and pit the Native American against his Mexican brother. Mexico respects each Amerindian tribe unique culture & traditions. Mexico is self is probably only one of the few Hispanic nations named after an indigenous tribe called the Mexica or Mecha. Mexicans celebrate there Amerindian ancestry because if they didn't then there country wouldn't be named Mexico.

Mexicans are from North America and the origins of Mexicans started in what is now the U.S Southwest. Look up Uto-Aztecan who were also related to the Anasazi people. On December 23 2012 brought in a new enlightenment for all Native Americans and the Drums and now starting to get louder. Whether a Brown Native American is from Arizona or Mexico racist laws have been targeted against the Original American inhabitant. Brown people are illegal in America now according to Arizona law. Look at the Washington Redskin logo or the Chicago Blackhawk logo and what do you see? Brown people.

Mexico had 2 of the Greatest Amerindian Empires in the Americas. The Aztec and Mayan.

Answer 8

kinda sorta. Native Indians from Mexico and the rest of the americas are related. There are European decent people in all the Americas also-not necessarily British. A Mexican can be of European decent. We are all mixed up.
So-your assumption is partly correct. Some people in Mexico are descendants of what we call native Americans, and some Americans are of British decent.

Answer 9

The American Indians and any other tribes on the American continents are descendants of Europeans, Mongol that came across the Bering Strait when it was frozen thousands of years ago. The is no such thing as an indigenous American.

Answer 10

In my years of Spanish I learned that the Mexican people are a cross breed of the Native Indians and the Spaniards. That was century's ago and now we are just all Americans.
