Native Americans are NOT native to this continent. According to the "experts" they came here from Asia across the Bering Straits. What about all the "Native" populations like the Anasazi, and the Fremonts, and many others who disappeared long before the white man came here? Who killed them? Other Indians, that's who. I refuse to carry any white guilt for what other "redskins" did to their neighbors any more than I will carry any guilt for what some whites did to blacks in this country before my ancestors--escaping European Indebted Servitude--came here in 1850. They came straight to the west, did not stop to pick up slaves on their way, did not pass GO and did not collect $200.
Many also followed the ice across the Atlantic and become the Clovis culture whose stone tools are nearly identical to those used by Soultrean culture in Europe. They were killed off by the 100 year long 10800 BC Event that ushered in the Younger Dryas Period killing them and all the mega-fauna, creating firestorms which left foot or more layer of ash over NA, Europe, SA and parts of the ME.
Also northern Algonquin speaking tribes like the Cree possess 2 unique strands DNA inherited from Denisovans - DNA not found in any of the other tribes in North America. This is indicative of a western migration which preceded the eastern one from Asia by 10s of thousands of years.
My ancestors arrived in 1640, and had little or nothing to so with the tribes or slaves.
