So, that's why the politically correct term for Indians is now Native Americans. This didn't come about randomly, I would guess, as much haggling and hammering out it takes to get any kind of change through the legal system. So, after well over two hundred years the powers that be finally arrived at the term Native Americans. That would indicate they were the first peoples known to be here. After the pilgrims settled in here our government was formed, and as you stated, only then did "subsequent immigrates" need permission. Also, there was no other reason that the U.S. Government settled up with Native Americans after overtaking their land and relegating them to shit hole pieces of land nobody else would want including them. If you choose to believe in the fairytale you subscribe to, and if that makes you somehow feel superior and thankful, so be it, go right ahead and continue to be deceived rather than enlightened. Prejudice is an ugly thing. You can feel free to "puke" your fool head off now.
