If Mexicans/Hispanics are REAL Native Americans?
Answer:
No matter what they claim, they're not the true native Americans, the first natives to settle here came across the land bridge from Asia, at least that's what is written in the history, and how can they claim to be Americans when at that time there was no such a place as America?
I never heard of any single indian tribe that spoke Spanish.
California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada were part of Mexico before the US/Mexican war.and this was Mexican territory. Thats why Mexicans are the real Natives!
They are not real native americans in fact if you go back to history when Geronimo was fighting Custer he was also fighting General Santa Ana.
The Mexican nationality not race did not exist until very recently in the history of the world.
American Indians are REAL Native Americans. Mexicans are people from Mexico. Hispanics are people with Spanish ancestry.
Not all hispanics are Mexicans.
When did Mexicans/Hispanics claim to be Native Americans?
there are no real "native" americans. even the indians arent really native. native implies a species was born somewhere. indians (like whites, blacks, hispanics, and asians) migrated here. no race was ever born on this continent. every race that is currently on this continent migrated here at some point in history.
If they're the real native Americans then i'm the pope.
Well, America stretches from above the Arctic Circle to below the Antarctic Circle, and is generally divided in North, Central and South America.
So, what border of America are they from south of? Or are you just talking about the United States?
Because if you are, then consider that many of the ancient tribal areas extended both north and south of the arbitrary lines that were drawn in the 1800s.
Huh? What's a fake native American? When the Europeans showed up to the Americas (North, Central, South) there were already people there. The difference between a Mexican and a Native is that Mexicans have Spanish lineage in addition to their indigenous ancestry. The native Americans in the US are indigenous to this region and since we are the United States of America (America for short) those people are native Americans. There are people in Mexico that are indigenous to Mexico. They are native Mexicans.
The are native americans of there own country but not of southern part of the US. That part was originally and should be returned to Apache, Navajo, etc. Then it was conquered by various countries (in historical order: Spain, Mexico and finally USA).
No, even the "American Indians" are not "native" (like me) we came from the garden of eden.
No even if they were native americans(most are mixed with spanish ancestry now anyway), they lived in mexico not here. There are many native americans ,such as the Navajo who still live in the southwest( the place they claim we stole, even though we didn't), so we never took any land away. When Mexico seceded the southwest to us, there were hardly any people living here. Anyway, and more to the point, Mexico fairly seceded the southwest to us. If they really wanted it they would have tried(as a nation through war) to get it back. The whole idea that this land is "theirs" is just a dumb excuse to try to explain why they are here illegally.
uhhhh
because native americans were in all of north america?
but the border divided them.
whats your point?
quick history lesson for you. about 30,000 years agp bands of indigenous peoples from asia crossed the behring straits onto the continent now known as the americas. slowly but surely they worked their way down to the tip of south america with different tribes of indigenous groups being formed throughout the long period of time in all areas of north, central, and south america. these people were indigenous to the region began cultivating the land and establishing cities in different parts of the continents.
in 1519 a group of spanish conquistadores came into the valley of mexico knowns as the aztec city of tenochtitlan. this meeting of the two groups of people created the first mestizaje which resulted in the birth of the mexican people. thus a mexican is simply an indigenous person mixed with spanish european. different levels of mestizaje exist but this only complicates the story.
in 1848 the second conquest of mexico took place when an idiot from mexico sold what is known as the current U.S. southwest to the USA for one million dollars. if you've ever seen the movie the "godfather" the sale of mexico was similiar the what the "godfather" referred to as "i will make you an offer you can't refuse". after the war between U.S. and Mexico, mexico was unable to defend itself thus had no choice but to give the land to the land-hungry gringos.
so to answer your question.... mexicans are both indigenous and were the native inhabitants of this land known as AMERICA!!
I'm an Enrolled member of a California tribe and i can say with history to back me up, we NEVER traded with the AZTECA or any points south. WHY? because of this lil thing called a Natural border, or DESERT. Try to cross that desert on foot.
That "mexica movement' is a bunch of crap. Just because some asshole stood on a rock and CLAIMED the land did not really make it his now did it?
SO in short NO they are NOT INDIANS.
