@@fargopcguy with our current understanding of history. Yes that could be the case. However the central dogma is that theory. There is good evidence and knowledge that backs that up too. However if you go deeper there are artifacts and signs of human activity well before the land bridge theory. For instance my tribe has a creation story where we came out of the ground at a sacred site known as Nanih Waiya (Mother Mound in Choctaw) in Mississippi. Take it as you will but I believe and many others too that we were actually from this land to begin with. I forget the term but in science it’s when two different species evolve exactly the same even though they have had no contact with each other. That could be the case why we are so similar 🤷‍♂️ We could have come from Asia, or we could’ve come from some other form of travel maybe by boat.

If we looked at the track record of the "other" continent, its filled with plenty of hate, warmongering and outright killing, but it brought a lot of good too. Renaissance Era for example.

[@donnawoodford6641]

@@-007-2 I understand that some tribes were more warriorlike than others, i.e. Apaches and perhaps Comanches; however, I also understand most held values of respecting the lands, utilizing all parts of plant and animals resources for making clothing and footwear, taking only what was needed for survival, blessing the plants before uprooting them from the earth, timing the planting of seeds, and harvesting by the moon, honoring the elements of wind, fire, and water. The medicine men knew how to heal by natural means. Many tribes would use native plants in crafts, i.e. pottery and making wool rugs. The practical knowledge and daily skills they used to live and adapt to harsh conditions are what I know about the Native Americans. Daily survival involved hard work. I don't perceive them being lazy. There may have been some non-native artists who have romanticized their lives. I acknowledge that this idealization easily gets depicted in paintings or sculptures. What's often left out are scenes of the warring, The Long Walk, the boarding schools, transporting Geronimo to Florida, the conversion of Natives to Catholicism, social and economic struggles, and countless other injustices, stripping Natives of their sovereignty and dignity which continues today. I'm sure Natives weren't sitting around in their hogans or sweat lodges all the time back then. Currently, the Lakota Sioux and other tribes are working to reclaim rights which were not upheld under the many treaties from the past. I sense that the Native Americans elders are busy teaching their languages and traditions to the young, actively advocating for their needs, and probably educating other Americans about their reality which for many includes living without plumbing or access to water.

Trump might be the least eloquent president ever but obviously a country doesn’t go from Obama to Trump just because half the country is suddenly racist or stupid or something. I think the democrats have pushed away more and more centered and left leaning people because they seem to go further and further to the left.

[@hmmmm9174]

@@simon6495 the democrats pushed people more towards republicans because democrats went more right, just social pandering while pushing polices that make people more poorer and being more war hawkish , during democrats rule mostly neocons are in power , even in Republican rules it can be said but trump brought a populist wave which was more anti elite though his own personal character might not be the best , the people know what they want
