Did you know that Native Americans/"Indians" were not the 'first ones here'?

Question

As a matter of fact the first ones "here" in the Americas were the Solutreans. The Solutreans were European. So can we get over the topic of "stolen land" please and focus on the fact that it is 2006 and immigration laws are being broken? Also...no offense...but "Native Americans" have been pulling the wool over everyones eyes with the "we were here first" bull.

Many more sites are available if you are still not convinced. You may research them on your own time.

donielle...good lord girl...did you even read my question? lol I guess what I'm trying to say is that Europeans were here BEFORE "native americans". So maybe the "indians" stole the Europeans land.

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO MY QUESTION IF YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

OK OK...for the slow folks...it can be argued that the Native Americans stole land from the Solutreans. Is everyone up to speed now?

Answer 1

LOL, I see you got a lot of intelligent answers. They don't even understand the point! It's not about looking into the past, or arguing about who was here first. It's about the fact that illegals in America are using the "fact" that we're all immigrants as a rebut. It doesn't matter if these salutreans were white Europeans or if there were "holes" in the argument. It still proves there was a different group of people here before native americans.

People did exist before "Indians" and not one person here can say they know who was where 20,000 years ago. For all you know, "Indians" could have been the first to take America from another. I don't care if laws exist then, people have been fighting for territory since the beginning of time. Can one person who answered deny that?

One more thing, for the people who believe native Americans have been in America since the beginning of time. Read up on your history. Native Americans are descendants of Asians. About 11,000 years ago they migrated to the Americas. Now since everyone lets that fact go undisputed, why don't we open our eyes and see that they may not have been the first to do this.

Answer 2

The bottom line in the whole debate is this.... Do you enjoy the fruits of progress? Do you have a cell phone? Do you enjoy Internet at random places during the course of your day? Do you watch cable? Do you have a decent sized home, by today's standards? Do you shop online? Do you joy shopping in the late evening? Do you shop at major chain stores? If you answered yes to any of those questions and STILL want to condemn any person and use "the natives were here first" as your argument, you are still hypocrite. You would not enjoy 90 % of your conveniences if the "white man" hadn't done what he did in the Americas.

Answer 3

I no I watched the special on the discovery channel, the Solutreans were French white Europeans, they made the Clovis point spearheads, in Europe, they came over in the ice age some 17 thousand years ago, they made their way to Virginia and that is where they found the Clovis point spearheads, then the Asians came also, after the Europeans. They thought the Europeans died out, but a genealogists found a gene in the native Americans that only can come from Europeans, so they did not die out. the program was called, Who were the first Americans, I think. If it comes on again you should watch it it was very interesting.

Answer 4

Why do people believe that Native Americans migrated to this land. They could have always been here. The land bridge in Alaska is a theory with many holes. the Solutreans is another theory on if whites were here before Native Americans. Maybe Native Americans were here before the Solutreans and accepted the Solutreans as guest in their land as they did the pilgrims and many other Anglo Saxon groups that crossed the ocean.

Answer 5

All this involves is whether they got here first or whether the Asians crossed into Alaska first. What's the difference? You're talking about thousands of years before white settlers made their home in North America. At that time, which is the matter at hand, this land was populated by what we call American Indians. Where their ancient ancestors hailed from has no bearing on what happened to them when white settlers got here. Everybody "native" to any land has ancestry that is varied. You can reach back to the dawn of man and it still has no bearing on how we tore this land from the grasp of those who were here when we decided we wanted it for our own. Very silly...

Answer 6

The native American Indians were here before the time of Columbus and the arrival of the pilgrims. so how is it now that you say they weren't? Were native Americans the ONLY ones that ever came here-NO but so what? The native Americans Indians were lied to, killed, and criminalized by those "in the government" that arrived later.
HE. LL vikings were here too but didn't stay so I ask you--
What does this have to do with immigration law?
Native Americans have nothing to do with the current immigration laws being broken-they are here already and have their own land and their own government.

Answer 7

Looking at those articles, this particular scientist (the same one cited in all three articles) has more of a hypothesis than a theory of any sort. Shifting all the evidence of Early Americans to being an entirely different people based on a single stray walrus bone is awfully stretchy, even for a hypothesis. Sensational science isn't good science.

Answer 8

Don't know where you get your info as solutreans are from solutrean a french village with artifacts of an higher european culture a long ways from america, actually the american indians are migrants from china, hence the oriental look

Answer 9

:) Please don't take this as a personal attack, Because i do not agree with the Bullshit " we were here first" anyone who isn't native american is an illegal themseleves.

Well when the native americans were here, they did not have laws, they did not have the amendment, they did not have police, they did not have courts, When other people came here, they developed those things, I mean this with NO disrespect to Native Americans, But before the laws and the amendment was made, this was basically free land because there were no laws, now that there ARE laws, There is no reason for people to say that anyone who isn't native american is just the same as an illegal alien, Because that is a poor sad argument by silly people.

starbeamns, i think that it is innapropriate to say " stole their land" they came and " developed" the land, Without europeans , America wouldn't be the place it is today.
Native Americans are entitled to a large number of benefits because of this whole " Stolen Land"
the same thing goes for the Aboriginies of Australia, They cry that the europeans stole their land, Now they have huge benefits, If Europeans had not come to Australia, i can say for a fact Australia would be a third wirld country, no offence intended to anyone.

Answer 10

Here are some holes in your Argument; " Dennis Stanford of the Smithsonian Institution spent years in Alaska and found (no connection between Siberian artifacts and Clovis technology.) (His new theory is") (Settlers May Have Crossed Atlantic)(But according to the new theory)(Solutrean Hypothesis) Do you see the holes? Nice try though.
O.K., Prove that we werent here before any others. I know what the date is, I am living in these foolish times. Your theories and hypothesesis' are the stuff of scientific fairytales. No Offense, of course.
