That’s true. And that only covers the last 400 years so. But we’re lead to believe Indian history began with the arrival of Europeans and prior to that it was all peaceful and harmonious.
Interestingly enough, recent archeological findings suggest that the first people to reach the Americas may have been Europeans. Still controversial, the Solutrean hypothesis argues for an Atlantic migration of the Solutreans peoples (who inhabited the region of modern France) approximately 20,000 years ago - some 10,000 years earlier than Asian migrations. This is based on the fact that the oldest known archeological sites are on the east coast, not the west coast as one would expect from an Asian migration. In addition, there are striking similarities between the arrow making technology of the Solutreans and that found later in the Americas.

Have you heard the one about people from Wales? Can’t recall now whether it was Kentucky or Tennessee—Some fairly recent discoveries and study. They had a stone with writing that they finally managed to trace to some old dialect in old records in Wales.
Something about a disaster and the survivors set sail and wound up here. Early Newspapers of US talked about the “white” Indian tribe located in that same area.
And of course there’s the theories about Egyptians and the Grand Canyon area. Cleopatra had some children that sort of disappeared from history-might have wound up here.
And in South America, they talk about an ancient people who sailed from the East—way before the Spanish etc.
Much of history is unknown, and some is purposely obscured, hidden and/or lied about.
well, the Solutreans might have reached the Americas, but today’s Europeans were living in the Ukrainian steppes at the time, so unless you are a Basque, I wouldn’t get excited about it.
