"Have red headed people alway's been mean?
That's fiery-tempered to you, NOT mean."
Speak for yourself.
I'm just plain mean.
[could be the red hair/green eyes combo only, though]....;D

the Yoyoi
not related but I couldn’t help but think that Yoyoi and the greek word hoipolloi (meaning the masses) were both terms used to descibe the ruled underclasses in both ancient Japan and Greece!
“Tule eaters?” That’s an elk right? How does one join this tribe”
No its moose...and you have to bite my sister to join!
Now you’ve done it......
A cherokee chief with red hair is legendary in Soutwest virginia counties of Scot and Wise.
He was known as Chief Benge, a terror to settlers and a posessor of red hair.
He was however a halfbreed scott/cherokee i think..
Uh oh. LOL My Cherokee ancestors (from Chattanooga and NC)were intermarried with scotsmen I believe - Shoemake (then changed to Shoemaker and other variations) Not German like you would think that name was.
However, the name "Scythian" is also known as Sakha or Yakut. This was Buddha's tribe in Nepal/North India who ran that "end" or "tail" of the Silk Road. They also ran a vast area that included a good deal of India and Central Asia.
To make a long story short the Hindu Revival started up about the 2nd Century and they ran the Buddhists, most particularly the Sakha, out of the place to the degree possible. The Sakha returned to an ancient homeland in Siberia (which they shared with the Reindeer people).
Recovering nicely they invaded Korea and Japan in the 6th century. Today the head of that tribe is the Emperor of Japan who traces his lineage all the way back to the first Emperor ~ and he's a Sakha. Sometimes the Sakha are mistaken for Koreans since they set out from Korea to conquer Dark Ages Japan. Alas, the Sakha in Korea were just recent conquerers.
So, who were the reindeer people they consorted with and swapped daughters to? Were they East Central Asians, or West Central Asians with a modicum of blondism and red hair.
I don't think anyone knows at the moment, but if you look up Sakha and take a good look at what these folks look like you'll be scratching your head Fur Shur.
Go to Analytic Summary. That’s Joe Stalin doing that killing ~ while Putin’s grandfather was the chief cook at the Kremlin.
Got it, thanks.
I think I’ve posted this before on blams threads.
I have a vague memory of reading something about the first russians to set foot on alaska. They told of vicious red haired barbarians that attacked them with catapults. There was no reasoning with them. So every last one was killed by the russians. Even the women and children.
I can’t remember wehre I read this. I can’t find anything anywhere about red haired primitives in alaska. Has anyone ever heard of this or read anything like it?
Sorry, no.
The Jomon and Ainu are part of a division in the East Asian population that includes the Chinese. The separation from so-called Caucasions occurred EARLIER.
Once the Northern islands were pretty much depopulated, Ainu moved in.
The Emeshi language, to the degree it can be identified in bits and pieces today, is substantially different from the Ainu languages which have a clear continental origin and relationship to other existing languages.
Once you recognize the existence of the Emeshi the whole structure becomes quite clear.
The Emperor's family are obviously of Sakha origin ~ their women have larger breasts than are common with any other group in Japan ~ just like those statue ladies in India!
