Well, if we are going to be anal about this, the “native american” is simply descended from people who immigrated a lot earlier. No human is truly native to the americas. All immigrants.
EDIT> It seems that I misread / didn’t read the article. Also, I’m not condoning, simply making a comment, that tries to expose the absurdities o of “nativism”.
If we’re going to be anal about it, we don’t need to mention ancestors at all. One of these people was born in Idaho. The other was not. Get it?
Agree, but then the whole Native American thing has no place in the discussion, no? I-m just trying to point out the absurdities of “nativism”
There’s this one detail that makes the two kinds of settlement different, I wonder if you can spot what it is.
I don’t but I’d like to know
European settlers eradicated the native population, the initial indigenous migration settled an unsettled land.
