From Ancient Civilizations to Today

 The History of Native Americans: From Ancient Civilizations to Today

In the 1700's, Indians occupied less than .05% of What we call America today.  They actually have far more territory now than they had then.  They still do nothing with most of the land they were given.  It is simply false to claim that Indians were "here" first.  They were like a few little dots spread over the American continents. Under this kind of logic, the United States owns all of the Moon because we were there first and put our flag on it.
