Actually, there is growing evidence of a pre-Clovis population in the Americas, with one or more populations that may have been genetically related to modern Australian Aborigones, Ainu, and Iberians, if not other groups as well. Many Native Americans activists don't want the pre-Columbian remains that may prove the point studied because it might show that they weren't simply the victims but also the perpetrators of their own violent conquest thousands of years earlier. That certainly complicates their victim status.

"Pre-Columbian" = "Pre-Clovis" in my previous reply.
