“Last summer, remnants of Algonquian pottery from the 1500s, along with a copper wire earring believed to have been made from drawn copper brought from England, point to possible contact between the local tribes and English settlers.”
It could just as easily mean the Indians killed them and took their jewelry. Or took the women as slaves after killing the men.
No graves or skeletons were ever found...............
My personal favorite explanation:
They were all taken aboard an Extra-Terrestrial Spaceship, and shipped to the home planet of the aliens, for study. They will be returned safely, but because of Time Dilation they will have aged very little while time on Earth has passed several centuries.................
I don't see that they have evidence that supports anything else. The artifacts discovered so far obviously are consistent with your theory.
I guess that would be "Indigenous" murder, etc.
The Indians were called Indians because that's what they were--they were from the Indies, and the whites were from Europe. Except Virginia Dare. She was of European ancestry, but she was Indigenous to America.
