And; what about some of the so-called 'indigenous' people who arrived after the White Euros? Using your reasoning; the later American Indians ain't indigenous.

Indigenous people were here THOUSANDS of years ago. Europeans were here only 500 years ago.

What indigenous people emigrated later than the earliest Europeans? (Intermarriage does not qualify for being truly indigenous, but that appears to be what you are saying)

I think AZBear is hinting at those folks who are PARTLY indigenous. As the "Colored" folks in South Africa (white/ black mixed race) used to say, "The Colored People arrived on 'The Cape' just 9 months after the Whites"....or words to that effect.

Actually, some of the Eskimos (Inuit) in Alaska were still "arriving", departing, and arriving again, right up until the last century, when this practice was pretty well 'closed off' by Soviet-American Cold War tensions. Whether AZBear would call these 'late-arriving indigenous people' or not, he'll have to answer....

No!!, It's Time For All Americans To "wake Up"!!!!!! Although Our Government Acts Like They Don't Want Them ( Illegals) Here ,they Our Own (government Officials) At Local , State , And Federal Levels Are Working To Open The Boarders With Mexico And Canada With A Super Highway ??? They Are Voting On These Issues As We Speak. It Doesn't Take Troopes To Put A Stop To This, It Take You And Me, Vote These People Out Of Their Offices. Put Honest People In Their Place ,then And Only Then Will There Be Change.
