Nothing new here.

Still doesn't change the fact that Europeans are not indigenous to the Americas and did wrongfully acquire the land.

The land was never the Indians. It was never a country.

Anyway Indians helped in the Revolutionary war to defeat the British colonial rule.

The argument is not over whether you can or cant, it is over if it is right or not.

Yes the land did belong to the Indians, contrary to popular belief, they did not think the land belonged to everyone. many tribes had established boarders and even peace treaties. it is a myth that the individual indian nations were not organized.

The indians also fought on the side of the British, so what is your point ?

Right or wrong, it happened, we are here, and nothing at this point will change history. What would you suggest we do?

Re read the thread to see how we got to this point first.

NOW, right or wrong, you should be able to acknowledge it without trying to cover it up or changing the subject " they had a weak military, they should have been stronger"

that being said, the thread is about simple acknowledging that the native American man was right.

In 1621, the Plymouth colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared an autumn harvest feast that is acknowledged today as one of the first Thanksgiving celebrations in the colonies.

Where did Indians come from & through whom they acquired it?

To create the country you happily live in.

They came here 25,000 years ago to a continent uninhabited by humans.

It was wrongfully acquired because much if it was taken, not purchased. Germany did not get to keep its annexed territories.

So basically if we fail to enforce immigration laws we will end up like the Nativs Americans, visitors in our land.

Well, they were not called "Indians" in the first place.

Are you really asking how the land was wrongfully acquired? Look, it's your choice if want to disregard the genocide that occurred.
