We natives' had laws. I guess when they aren't in YOUR language it's hard to understand them. Perhaps the wars fought by the natives were a clue?

Yars, I take it you are proud of the killings of native americans. Judging by your email, it seems that you are very threatened by the notion of other's taking over this land. Don't get too comfortable, you are in the minority already by virtue of your gender and race...

duque, at the time, that WAS innovation, and it needed to be taught to the europeans so they could simply SURVIVE here. BTW, if you don't eat food that is grown and harvested, what do you do? Are you a nomad, following your food source season after season? idiot...

500 years and only in the last couple are people getting their panties in a bunch over it.

Your life would be better without Colom?
Really?
Living in a mud shack picking berries and wondering whether you'd make it through the next winter. Wondering when the next war party from another neighboring tribe of savages were coming to drag you and your kids away. Scavenging and prowling the countryside. The thing is you'd still be doing this without Colom or another intrepid explorer coming to recue you from your backwardness. Why can't natives admit that they were backward?
Now they spend their time trying not to get drunk and building casinos with other peoples wealth on loan.
What a proud culture.
People have been fed a romantic vision of noble savages, when in truth they were war-like and thieves. Killing each other and selling each other out until the end.
Welcome to civilization. If you don't like it feel free to build a tepee on the res.

it wasn't illegal or unwanted by the people already here; in fact, the Europeans wouldn't have survived initially without a lot of help fromt he indigenous people. There was no concept of land ownership until the Europeans brought it here. Unfortunately, they constantly broke the laws they established and violated treaties they insisted upon forming
I'm sure no Native people are today celebrating the migration of Europeans to North America/south America, but it was not illegal immigration

Show me ONE LAW that excised when this country was discovered.against any form of immigration.I am celebrating Columbus Day as I do each day by flying my Americans flags over my business's and my home.
What are you doing in this free country? There were no laws against immigrating to this country so there could be no one that was illegal.But there ARE LAWS TODAY.
There were so many different tribes and languages among the Indians,there were no written laws by any of them.And since they also were not indigenous to this land, having migrated themselves across the Bering Strait from other Continent's their claim to the land is shaky at best.The Indians were fighting among themselves and killing one another before the first white set foot in what is America today.In case no one has told you the year is 2006 not 500 years ago.We all live with our pasts but I certainly feel absolutely no guilt for something I personally had nothing to do with.You cant use that old tired excuse to me,that along with the racists name calling doesn't affect me as I know who and what I am.You don't seem to know anything but displaced hatred for others.Don't blame anything that happened 500 years on any one here today.Or use it as an excuse for your present lot in life.
You my dear are the racists.
I for one am very comfortable in my skin,my race,my country and I intend to stay that way.

There have to be laws in place for it to be illegal. Now how about 500 years of immoral immigration? Or at least Immorally-enforced immigration? CHEERS!
