[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Several speakers expressed outrage over kindergarten standards that described Indigenous people as America’s first “immigrants” from Asia. “This is our home. We are not immigrants,” said Aaron Winston, a board member for the Virginia Tribal Education Consortium. “No one is trying to say the English didn’t come from England or the Chinese didn’t come from China. Why are you telling us that now we come from somewhere else?” Superintendent Balow later apologized in an interview. “It was wrong to label them as immigrants in the standards document and we will make sure that is corrected,” Balow said.[/quote] Are they saying they didn't come from Asia over a land bridge? There is a case that Vikings might have arrived first.[/quote] Their ancestors migrated here 30,000 years ago. They’re indigenous. [/quote]
