What do Native Americans think about the debate between who discovered America...Columbus or Leif Ericson?

Question

when they had been there the whole time??

Answer 1

They could care less.

Answer 2

Check your facts it was Leif Garret.

Answer 3

Everyone has their theory but I got my own and I think the black man discovered America first. I don't have no proof but neither does native Americans.  Whatever. Prove me wrong.

Answer 4

first realize that humanity is older than most people are taught. The pre-history that is taught is all theory based on prejudiced supposition with a mostly euro-centric framework.

If we bother to remember coldumas$, we should remember he was a cold-blooded murderer, and leif was looking for something he learned about from ancient songs and stories, showing that he wasnt the first white or euro to come to the true garden of eden.

How about we call it that instead of discoverer. first white guy.

or european  if you prefer?

Answer 5

Check out the racist proud-g*y Canadian jackass's answers.

Just shows you immature and lack of education at it's best. Probably just some racist immigrant.

Answer 6

..the Egyptians sailed over on reed boats 3500 BC and showed the Mayans how to build pyramids in Mexico...which brings us back to Africa, where we all came from originally.

Answer 7

I think they don't really care at all. It's like who was the first Chinese visiting Europe, was it Chang Hung or Ling Wan-Qwo? :)

Answer 8

As i have a little bit of cherokee native in myself , i belive it was leif erickson.

Answer 9

They came here 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.  Evidence is beginning to mount that there were people here before them and that, perhaps, they "displaced" these older, native people.

Answer 10

Who really cares, they are immigrants too and probably kicked the indigenous people off their land for all we know.

Answer 11

Me personally: I sometimes am weird about it because  their were people there and basiclly got everytihng stripped from them  their religion the freedom of land..  and the freedom  of food.. and in the end ending up with everything controlled like it is.. Bad River Tribe Ashland wisconsin

Answer 12

Well we really don't care, but I would have to say that  Leif Erikson discovered it after we did.

But he and other vikings seen little value in it, the goods that they could have brought to the old world just wasn't profitable at the time.

But Columbus did see value in it as well as the rest of Europe, at the right time, with the right ships.

So in a sense, he did discover it first..for Europe.
