Did the indians ever develop a sewage treatment plant? No. They crapped”-up an area, then, moved on. It was good that they were defeated. Caucasians saved America and Ghia from further desecration.

You’ve heard “Virginia is for Lovers”?

Well, Evanston is for wankers.

In 1996, I read that a skeleton was found in Oregon. Scientists found that it was a white person who died before the first American Indians came to North America. That means Indigenous People were white.

So, resist it.

Go out of your way to correct anyone who replaces Columbus Day with their politically-correct bullsh*t.

And stick to it. And if someone gets in your face, get back in theirs.

Washington State, Kennewick man.

Apparently the idea he was White is false, fixated on by stormfront types. Recent genetic testing confirmed a link with American Indians.

Some Viking types may have had colonies before the Indians walked over, but on the other side of the continent. In any case, Kennewick man does not predate the arrival of Indians. He died at most 9000 years ago, they came long before that, in fact the Bering Land bridge was already long gone 9000 years ago, the migration was over.
