[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Oxford Dictionary definition: “a person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not.” So, yes, people are native to wherever they are born. [/quote] What a ridiculous oversimplification.[/quote] No, words have meaning and this is the meaning of the word “native.” One can dislike the way an area was settled by different groups of people in the past, but as a PP has pointed out, even the Native American/First Nations people originally came to this land mass from somewhere else.
