I guess you could say he’s a native American of pre-American descent and the rest of us, native Americans, are of ________ (fill-in the blank) descent.
I think one Algonquin dish is “beaver chili”. Earthen pot with beans and beaver meat buried in a fire pit for hours.
“Plains Indians didn’t have the horse until the white man brought it to the Americas.” Sounds like cultural appropriation....
As a general observation, why do people who think the Natives who were here got completely screwed by Columbus and those that followed behind?
I like to point out that yes, maybe they did get ‘screwed’ but if nothing else ‘we’ taught them to keep records etc.
Not much ‘history’ - other than mass speculation - about what was going on before we ‘invaded’.
(I do recall one histerical(sic) moment when a person who was already here was told we were here to ‘better’ his life and he responded.
“Ugh! Squaw cook. Squaw Clean. Squaw look after me. Me and the boys sleep till noon, catch a little hunting and fishing, come home for dinner, squaw fix fire while we drink firewater then sleep. HOW do you expect to improve that?”)
Anyway these people who think we ‘screwed’ them are the same ones that are pushing for open borders..
At the very worst WE will get overrun by these ‘new invaders’ especially if we just sit back and allow the BNGs to just take us over..
ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER PEOPLE.
This is why liberals will continue to lose.
Normal people gravitate towards happiness and away from discord, griping and unhappiness.
JFK (for example) was a positive liberal force, and today’s liberals are a negative one.
I use the scientific term for them, Amerindians.
As for myself, I’m a native American with no Amerindian blood.
The name Baca sounds very European, Old Spanish, maybe he should give up this culturally appropriated moniker.
I don’t care if you got it from google. It’s not in the article
Didn’t get it from google. I’ve visited numerous sites where the Anasazi lived.
And I don’t care if it’s not in your article..
Anasazi is the navajo word for ancient ones.
The word anasazi has been replaced by the National Park Service with “ancestral puebloans” after it was realized that the Anasazi not only didn’t go any where but are still around. These people live on the Hopi mesa and various pueblos along the Rio Grande
The Hopi have occupied the pueblo of Orabi for some 900 years. Orabi is the longest occupied place in America
Totally agree.
I was born here. Therefore, I’m a native American, too. As far as “indigenous” goes, there are plenty of arguments about who was really here first. Vikings?
Do the descendants of Neil Armstrong own the moon? Do you have to touch the continent (or moon or planet) first or do you have to live there in order to own it? How much of it would you own? The entire thing? The part of it that you farm or hunt on?

Worse than that, this guy Baca is likely descended from Cristóbal Baca, a military captain who arrived in 1600 with his family in order to help reinforce the Spanish colonial Santa Fe de Nuevo Mexico province in the Viceroyalty of New Spain. In other words, a European conqueror. Go back to Spain and you’ll find Baca’s lineage is Visigoth, in other words German. The horror!
“Only ingredients obtained by hunting of foraging.”
Some, at least, indigenous people in the Americas practiced argiculture. Squanto taught the Pligrims how to plant crops that would succeed instead of using European methods unsuitable for New England farming.
What difference does it make if the article didn’t reference the Anatsazi? The point was that cannibalism was practiced on occasion in native American culture.
