They were merely the first modern humans to live in the Americas. But they’re not native to here. No human is. We are all an introduced species.
Science is real.
How do we know they did not displace some other, truly native, American group?
Because the current fossil record, and known DNA, do not support that.
Hominids evolved in Africa, and spread to the rest of the world from there. There was no parallel evolution occurring on different continents. Africa is the ONLY place on earth where modern humans are actually native to.
Actually you cannot prove a negative.
Who knows, perhaps next year some new finding will prove that some other dudes were here before so-called NAs.
Parallel evolution of another sapient species in the Americas would be one of the greatest discoveries in human history. That would be mind-blowing, to say the least.
Science is real, and science supports a human presence predating Clovis people’s’ presence in the Americas.
Which still doesn't mean that their descendants are owed the Western Hemisphere...
You can start by either moving non-tribal members off any land within current treaty borders or paying rent (US or state government can pay the rent instead of the private landowner, that's fine). Here is the map showing the treaty lands:
![]()
For those of you who don't think you are living on "stolen land" -- the treaties, ratified by the Senate and signed by the President, typically establish fixed borders for a “permanent home for the _____ nation of Indians” and say that the United States grants title "to the ____ nation of Indians for the land” to continue “so long as they shall exist as a nation" and "“no portion of the lands will ever be embraced or included within, or annexed to, any Territory or State."
Only both parties to a treaty can renegotiate a treaty.
(1) Once a federal reservation is established, only Congress can diminish or disestablish it. Doing so requires a clear expression of con- gressional intent. Pp. 6–8.
Unless I'm reading that map incorrectly, what you're proposing would result in the potential displacement of tens of millions of Americans, or requiring the loss of property rights for those people.
If you think that's anywhere near the realm of realm of reality, you're delusional.
Yes because that it literally what the people who took the land from the tribes did
They displaced them and deprived them of their property rights
With the last 100-150 years
And the people on the land now still benefit from that, no one along the way has compensated the tribes for the loss
Americans who own that land now aren't giving it up without violence. I certainly wouldn't.
Again, you're delusional if you think this is some sort of realistic goal.
It's not going to be violence, this would be litigated through the courts and pursued through new legislative remedies (e.g., payments for treaty violations). Are you saying you would contact your legislators and tell them to vote against the tribes' pursuit of their treaty rights?

So I guess you just identified the one progressive policy that would have me joining the red side in a (civil war, invasion?). I'm not giving up my money, citizenship, or property for old treaties. Seems like Democrats are going to need to head this crap off before it hits Twitter and eclipses defunding the police.
