how much do you know about Native Americans?

Answer 1

That they really ought to be called aboriginal or indigenous peoples, since 'native' only means you were born here, like most of us - and I'm sure they never called themselves Americans!

Answer 2

"Native American" is one of these loaded terms that you have to be careful about. In reality, anyone who is born in the Western Hemisphere is a native American regardless of their ancesteral origins. What's more, many Latin Americans, Afro-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and White Anglo-Americans, Anglo-Canadians and French Canadians today already have some Indian (or native) ancestry and it will only increase in the future.

Answer 3

Sometime ago I've read on Edmonton Journal that there was an increase of suicides through aboriginal people, overall young people, not only, even that there was a great number of them, condemned to the death penalty. All of that due, by me, 'cause the incorrect American politic during these last times. Where they go, they export 'sex'n drugs'n rock'n roll'! They are only able to steal resources leaving burnt ground behind them (I'm not against American people, only American politic). They first invented concentration camps, yes, large, without real walls, but always concentration camps, possibly ground without value, poor and dry, where control the situations. This, always by me, it's an intention, not having the possibility to do what they've done in the past, to push to a slow but sure extinction of those peoples. Luckily in these last times there's a 'renaissance', even through young peoples for their cultures. I know many of them occupied in music, dance, international promotion of knowing their culture and history, working hard into Canadian prisons to favour regaining knowledge of themselves, freedom and politic power. Paiutes, Hopis, Plain Crees and many others, strong and serious men and women, pride of the mankind.

I have no clue, and no idea how I'm supposed to measure that...though I assume what I know is probably not all that much really...though there are many things that are none of my business anyhow, so no biggie.
