Uhg says my friend. The true natives are the ones that can open a casino on their reservations. The ones that named most of this area.
Not to lose perspective here. Which natives are afraid of invasion from across the borders?  |
indigenous (from Merriam Webster online) :
1. having originated in and being produced, growing, living, or occurring naturally in a particular region or environment
2 : innate, inborn
So yes, white mans dictionary tells me I'm indigenous. Does Chief Fulla Bull contend his people popped out of the dirt on Tower Hill, or did his people move here at one time too?
