Too bad the Native Americans didn't tell the arrivals from England to GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM. WE DON'T WANT YOUR KIND HERE. Right?

This land BELONGED TO PEOPLE OF COLOR and pasty whites invaded it. They were not invited to come here but come here they did anyway because nothing was going to stop them from taking what they wanted that belonged to others never them. The whites were selfish and greedy then and many of them still are that. They were and ALWAYS WILL BE  FOREIGNERS IMMIGRANTS INVADERS second rate. Unacceptable.

 When the shoe is on the other foot it ain't so great is it?

    Depending on which tribes you're talking about, of course.

    Most of the settled native civilizations were wiped out before the mass migration of Europeans.
    The plains and southwest tribes had no claim to the land, as they were newcomers to an area that had previously belonged to those "extinct" civilizations.

    And if we talk about South America ... the oppressed tribes there welcomed the Spanish, to overthrow the Aztecs.
    They didn't think far enough ahead, to wonder if they would (in turn) then be oppressed by the Spanish.

    C'mon! Extinct civilizations are totally irrelevant and you know it. Isn't that kinda willynillysilly to bring up?. Whoever was here when the folks fled England and the King to come to PLYMOUTH ROCK. Now you know about whom I speak. You bring things in other than what you know I mean. Is there a purpose to that because it is not observable to me in any kind beneficial logical helpful meaningful relevant way. Thank you for your reply.

    Merely pointing out that many of the "native" tribes were, themselves, newcomers to the land they "claimed".
    Nor did they have set borders, as they were constantly fighting neighboring tribes for territory.  So the "boundaries" were constantly shifting.

    Why is that relevant?
    Because it puts the Europeans as merely another "player" in the existing struggle to claim the land.
    And, thanks to their technology and method of fighting, the Europeans were better at the struggle ... so won.
