Re: Are you a \'\'PC\'\'hyphenated American?
Well, by that criteria there are NO "Native Americans" in existence. The most accurate term we can use for that "category" would be Aboriginal Americans.
There aren't any known living descendants of Folsom man or even Clovis Man anywhere, and they are the oldest known residents of the area now called America, and even THEY probably came over the "Bering Land Bridge" from Siberia or Mongolia etc. (No point in going into Sandia Man who is older, but so lacking in physical evidence as to be moot).
Not even any Anasazis running around, (although it is barely possible that there is a TINY bit of Anasazi blood running through the veins of a few Hopis or Zunis today) due to inter-"marriage" between the earliest precedents of them and the last of the Anasazi. There is some tenuous evidence that both "peoples" had a few decades of cultural overlap in the same geographical area).
Most of today's "Native Americans" are descended from the Athabascans, and we know that they came across the Bering.
SOOO, there are apparantly NO "Native Americans" worthy of the title. We are ALL immigrants. Some of us just got here earlier than the others.
