An archeological presupposition has finally been proved wrong.

“The White Sands footprints walk us through a different origin story. A 2021 study had dated them to 21,000 to 23,000 years ago. Not only does this mean humans were here during the last ice age, but it also could change what we know about the first people that came to North America.”

Not what I am saying.
Words in one language are not universal, in particular in Spanish and English, which are spoken in many countries around the globe.

And: not even on one continent: #NativeAmerican was deemed awkward by a #BIPOC social activist from #Canada. They require #FirstNation or #FirstPeople.

Many #US citizens with indigenous roots do identify as...
