  1. The  native american  was ran out of alaska years ago

    OBAMA/BIDEN 2008


  2. Palin hunt them all down with her bare hands!!!

  3. They were probably born in Alaska and that makes them native to Alaska.  

  4. They still live in Alaska and other parts...but since they are Eskimos...a traveling group of nomads that live off the land, much like our Native Americans, that might be why you aren't seeing them on camera lol

  5. For the same reason I'm writing to you from Cayuga Lake where native people once lived and now white people reign.

  6. The same way the American Indians became natives of North America - they emigrated there.

  7. By cohabiting in igloos, Bristol wasn't the first.

  8. How did all of us become natives of the Mainland?  

  9. Its true too many white americans claim to be alaska natives.

  10. The same way they became natives of the rest of America: taking it from the true natives of the land and placing themselves in positions of superiority and authority.  Ask any so called Indian (Native American) or Mexican whose ancestors used to own the entire continent.

  11. Duh! if your born there your a native.

  12. I believe that there are plenty still in Alaska. Great question. Two points.

  13. after the GOLD RUSH in Alaska there has been a lot of interest in

    Alaska..since 1959 Alaska Demographics have changed drastically

    just like the Hispanic factor in the mainland USA..we are growing

    more and more minorities..and now only 69% of the US POPULATION

    are white but this is changing drastically too...

  14. Mr. Jones why is race such an issue with you, very sad indeed.  

  15. As some have hinted at but never really explained, there is a misconception that being native to a place means you were the original inhabitants (indigenous people), not so.  It means you were born there.  Native American is technically the wrong term for what Columbus called Indians. I am Native American, so are lots of Chinese Americans, African Americans, etc.  The correct term is American Indian, as I guess the correct term you are looking for is American Eskimo?  So, anoyone born in AK is a native.

  16. The politically correct term is Inuit

  17. how did all these people who are half american and half kenyan and biracial suddenly become black and african american hmmm .... I wonder

  18. They were born there.

  19. The Alaskan gold rush brought a lot of white people up there originally.
