Funny how revisionism cuts both ways.

It is now postulated that the Clovis tribes, probable predecessors of the navaho, were the first humans in North America. Tracing haplotype X mitochondrial DNA, they may have been relatives of the Solutreans, neolithic people along the Iberian coast, known today as portugal.

So the europeans were simply taking the continent back from those asian interlopers.

That goes a long way towards explaining the previously discovered evidence of cannibalism among the Clovis tribes. :)

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.
