All life has shared dna

why are you arguing this framed this way

just weakens white id

There has been 50,000 years of separate evolution between Indians and Europeans. There are common ancestors, but they were neither European nor Indigenous

I don’t see how it weakens anything.

Whatever bro

Ya @NateDahl76

What I’d be interested in seeing is a DNA report from someone who’s, say a tribal member of the Navajo nation. Can only guess how much “Spanish Conquistador” is in them, from all the conquering and breeding with the Mayans and surrounding tribal nations

A lot of these indigenous nations only require proved ancestry from a long list of members from a century ago, and if they become less than 1/32nd indigenous they get kicked out

I've seen some who appear unmixed in Minnesota

Like, the same as the first photographs of Indians

Ojibwe for one

Some looked mestizo

Well...”first photographs” didn’t appear until after Europeans had been in the Americas for about 400 years or so

It’s really hard to say or imagine what they looked like before all that conquering

OK well, more Indio than Mestizo like

I wonder if there are any 100% SSA slave descendants left

When I was a kid in the 1960s there were quite a few people who looked vaguely indian here in Georgia (olive complexion, jet-black hair, etc.). Most people would talk about them as if they had Black blood. But in either case they ALL wanted to identify as White. But even those peoples' personalities were quite a bit more unstable than your average White person. Huge chips on their shoulders. They were accepted for the most part though. Most of them weren't at all what we used to call "high yaller." They had White features, but we all wondered. There was quite a bit of admixture in the late 18th-early 19th centuries when settlement opened up in Northeast Georgia, but even then it was very, very low status to do that. You could get kicked out of your church. A lot of your liquor-soaked hellions didn't care about that. But fortunately our ancestors had the sense to ship the injuns west. Even that doesn't seem to have hurt the better sort of White Oklahoman; a magnificent people.

I never saw an American Indian for the first like fifteen years of my life

Amerindians are a meme unless you live near a rez

YES YOU DID!!!1!!

you see this line?

that's the economy's econominess

I had some friends in the 70s from Minnesota who had grown up near an Indun reservation up there. They sounded like 19th-century White westerners when they talked about them: bums, thieves, drunks, etc. That's what most Mexicans are. I had a friend in the 80s who had been a mountain climbing instructor in Wyoming in the 70s. He said the injuns would hang around the bars hitting up White people for drinks. "Buy we a drink partner?" Blacks used to do that in Athens, Ga. in the 70s when I was at UGA. It was even worse in downtown Atlanta in the 80s. They just assumed you would feel obligated to pander to them. A lot of Whites did.

I don't even like the Cherokee nation, but good for them

at least some groups remember their pride owed to their ancestors and their nation

Hey, it's Peter Sweden! <:teehee:381917632359563264>

Would you believe this is the lobby of a car repair/sales place?

pretty epic 😁

I would believe that this is gamer uprising if that's an option mr ian

I have no Indian ancestors, but one who earned a reputation as a "killer of indians" for his service in a company of rangers in Western Pa. during the Revolution. The British used Shawnees as proxies against American settlers on the Ohio River west of Pittsburgh.

Ancestors have been here for over 400 years and no Indian or Negro blood

But muh epic 52% face meme

@Ald We've been here since the late 17th Century. No Black or Indian blood either. All English, Scottish and French Protestant. Surprisingly well documented. I was talking to a friend who I've known since the 70s and we discovered that we have a common ancestor. He fought in the Revolution and was granted land in Georgia. He moved his six kids, his wife and several younger relatives down the Great Wagon Road to the area around Bowman, Ga. That's where ALL of mine and his ancestors are from. We now refer to each other as "couz."
