http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas The indigenous peoples of the Americas are the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North, Central, and South America, their descendants, and many ethnic groups who identify with those peoples. They are often also referred to as Native Americans,[1] Aboriginals,[2] First Nations,[2] Amerigine, and by Christopher Columbus' geographical and historical mistake, Indians, [1]now disambiguated as the American Indian race, American Indians, Amerindians, Amerinds, or Red Indians. According to the still-debated New World migration model, a migration of humans from Eurasia to the Americas took place via Beringia, a land bridge which connected the two continents across what is now the Bering Strait. The most recent point at which this migration could have taken place is c. 12,000 years ago, with the earliest period remaining a matter of some unresolved contention.[3][4] These early Paleo-Indians soon spread throughout the Americas, diversifying into many hundreds of culturally distinct nations and tribes.[4] As you can easily see they are the same group. And do not worry you did not lose any credibility. In order to lose something one has to first be in a possession of it.
So please enlighten the reset of us and do share their point of origin. Since they did not trek across the Bearing Straits, where did they come from? Inquiring minds really, really want to know.
Evidently,you know very little about me but continue to make ignorant assumptions. Your little crusade here is getting tired.....copy & paste all you want from Wickipedia but posession is 9/10ths of the law on this side of the border..........in your warped,little mind,i should`ve allowed myself to be extorted because the indigenous people of "the americas" deserve my compassion?.......you are pathetic. I enjoyed watching you hang yourself in the ES thread with your martingale strategy.........i actually felt pity for you at first.....now i realize you recieved exactly what you deserved.......a fool & his money are always parted......just like you would`ve been from an over zealous laborer whom demanded more than $17 dollars an hour from you as i`m sure you would`ve folded like a blanket because he was indigenous to your land.
" In the last year, the family has sent money â small amounts ranging from $40 to $80 â eight times to help Candelaria and her husband, who are both without steady work and recently had a child " Quit breeding useless bred gobblers and you and your people will rise out of poverty.
I can pay my own way...I have actually helped out others in need..my dad didn't have kids he couldnt' afford......and neither will I.... That is a fundametal absolute for a civilized society.
I am thrilled that you care for and help others, but this post is at complete loggerheads with your ignorant comments two posts back. So which side of your nature do you aspire to. When you talk of a civilized society and it's need to help others in need, do you have any particular country in mind in this day and age.
Some children are so sick and malnourished that they cannot even situp. What do you have in mind as a way for you to help.
You are right, too many times I have engaged in verbal slug fests such as this one. Trying to have a discourse with semi illiterates, pseudo intellectuals and (please pay special attention to this one) high school kids. I have realized that to engage eggheads like you is a futile endeavor and yields minuscule results.
