    The money from the casinos goes to the Tribal Elders, not the rest of the tribe individually. Like all dictatorships the wealth flows to the leadership while the rank and file continue to live in poverty.

    Translation

    The Scandinavian people claim America was discovered by Vikings and not Columbus. The difference is that when Columbus discovered it it stayed discovered.

Since the peoples living on this continent at the time of Columbus's arrival were actually immigrants from Asia thousands of years before and since there was no land known as America prior to its discovery by Columbus you can't really call them indigenous or Americans can you?

    This was the beginning of the pacification and civilization of the Americas. A great moment in history.

    The lunatics here in DC are self-haters and have declared this day to be Indigenous Peoples Day.

    That is like giving Olympic athletes the Gold medal for coming in second place.

    Columbus should be considered a great man. The history surrounding him has been perverted by political correctness.

    OK, so the elders are happy.

    I am fine with that.

    True.

    The Viking presence in North America is very intriguing.

    Absolutely. North America was not at its potential with Stone Age dead-enders in the way.

    The US is the global super power and poised to colonize the moon and Mars. The native Americans would still be migrating across the great planes looking for food if we hadn't intervened.

    Spot on.

    No racial or ethnic group (that we know of, anyway) is indigenous to this continent.

    Or to the European or Asian continents either, for that matter. The ancestors of every human being living today were in Africa prior to 60-70,000 years ago.
