Beg your pardon. I was born here [1946]. I am a native American.

I am a native American.

Thank you!

I do that too.

I was also but there are some who claim you can only be a native American if your ancestors were here before 1492.

I really would like to know why some pick that date and not 8,000 years ago. But then again scientists have now pushed back immigration to around 20,000 years ago.

So those who claim to be “Native Americans” are not really the first but just one of many waves to hit the new world.
