how do we know they were here first? Maybe our european brothers came here before them, have any of you thought of that? What if they were here first and the native americans killed them, and then buried and claim they were here first. You never know! So you can't say mexicans were here first or native americans are here first. So maybe they took someone's land, and we are just taking it back.

you guys keep claiming you know. but how do you really know? how can anyone prove the native americans were here first! i told you they probabbly burried the people before them or eat them or whatever to get rid of evidence.

I would believe that the May Flower was the first tourist boat that over stayed their welcome. Then they drafted a set of rules that developed into the old catch phrase, rules are made to be changed or broken to favor the non Indigenous. That way it doesn’t look in the beginning, like it was planned to be the way it ended up. And then when a little time passes it is believed completely by those benefiting. I would believe that before I believed your rendition.
By the way isn’t your same idea being pushed by archeologists trying to put together anything that will pass to allow people to believe that Kennewick man is Caucasian?
And believe this that the Native People from the area that Kennewick man was found want to honor their ancestor with the respect that he is due for his remains are sacred

There is proof. There are Native American sandals that are 10,000 years old. There are heiroglyphs (cave paintings) and dwellings (such as pueblos) that were all here and have been here for thousands of years.
There is no proof of Europeans or anyone else being here such as their bones or artifacts or anything...
And Native oral tradition goes back hundreds of thousands of years. It can be proven scientifically. For example there is oral tradition that talks about a big flood, this big flood story is found all around the world. Another example is about the formation of certain landmarks. Oral tradition describes how it was made, by volcano, earthquake etc.. and science can now back this up.
As for the land bridge theory. That is just a THEORY created so colonizers and their descendents don't have to feel guilt over taking this land and commiting genocide. There is little to no scientific evidence to back it up and in fact there is more scientific evidence to disprove it. To confirm please read "Red Earth White Lies" by Vine Deloria Junior.
Sounds like your just a racist to me.

because they are "Native" Americans?
If we knew they weren't and Europeans were really the first ones to settle here, do you think that the US Government would pay all that money to protect and give special benefits to people of Native American heritage?
I don't think so...
We have waaaaaaaaay more debt than we ever had.
Think again, bro.
Read the history.
It's quite interesting.

Take my word for it. They were here first. This is Native America.
I live in Oklahoma. Indian Nations. I know and would bet my life on the fact that the Indians were here first.

15,000 years of native American population, and that is just what their verbal records can indicats. archeology shows much older artifacts than that.
if the europeans were here first and they took it, they had it long enough to clearly call it their own.

because they were here first. it's a known fact. and the mexicans, sadly, weren't here first. the aztecs, mayans, incas, etc. were here, but europeans were nice enough to nearly obliterate their cultures upon entering that part of the world.
