That is a disgusting question. What happened to the indians was GENOCIDE. These two situations are not even remotely comparable.

I'm 3/4 Ojibwe tribe, 1/4 French Canadian.  I've never been registered, though I've been requested to do so.\nMy reason...I want to teach my daughter to make her own way in this world, not to rely on any government entity, solely based on her heritage.\nOur wars were fought, and lost.  To the victor go the spoils.\n\nThat being said, when my daughter and I attend baseball games, and they sing the National Anthem, I still get tears in my eyes, because I can feel how Francis Scott Key felt when he penned those immortal words.\nI take pride in America.  I wouldn't live anywhere else on this planet.\n\nAmerican Indians can still practice their tribe's religious beliefs without accepting government money.  Isn't that what "independence" is supposed to be all about?\n\np.s. If you still want to register, check with your local Bureau of Indian Affairs Office.

I am of the Muscogee people. But you will not find my family or myself on the "rolls", because when the time came to move us to Oklahoma my ancestors hid in the woods and swamps and since the majority of southern tribes are light skinned eventually passed themselves off as white. It was self preservation, because up untill the 1920's killing an Indian here in the south was okay, Alabama even had a bounty on us, Indians, not my family.\nI live in the Florida panhandle.

I can't tell if you mean Native American Indians, or people from India or of Indian descent, but I like them both. ;)

Powwow on the Reservation\nA Conversation with Scott Momaday\nby Claes Nordenskiöld \n"You will forgive me if I tell you that my people were Americans for thousands of years before your people were. The question is not how you can Americanize us but how we can Americanize you. We have been working at that for a long time. Sometimes we are discouraged at the results. But we will keep trying. And the first thing we want to teach you is that, in the American way of life, each man has respect for his brother’s vision." \n\n\nAnother said: “The question is not how you can Americanize us but how we can Americanize you.”(45) \n45. Quoted in Edgar S. Cahn, ed., Our Brother’s Keeper: The Indian in White America (New York and Cleveland: World, 1969), pp. 184, 175.

Just call them" savages" like white people did with the native Americans.It will not make it right or lawful but it might help you feel better.

I was an only child to a single mother but I feel like I was raised more by my grandparents.  I have many memories fishing, playing catch, and drawing with my grandpa and baking, cleaning, and playing with my grandma.  Sometimes I feel like my mom's my sister because when I do something wrong it's my grandparents' reaction of disappoint that I hate the most but yet when I do something great, I love the fact that I'm making them proud.\n\nSince they're younger than most of my friends' grandparents, I always feel lucky that they're still here and I hate to think of them ever dying.  They really mean the world to me and I love them a lot. :-)

I feel the same way towards them as they feel towards me. No more or no less.

Yep.\n\nPoor lost fools. I really feel sorry for them as they wander through life letting their prejudices control their mind.

Get use to it.  The real native Americans did!\n\nAll the racism in the world WILL NOT stop immigrants - legal or not.  So shut the f*ck up and move over! \n\n\nI say welcome muchachos - there is room for all of us.!!

Well, I would think they feel Hawaiian.  Since Hawaii is part of America, and America is comprised of many different societies, then the answer is 'yes'.  They do feel American

Depends on whether you consider the American Indians immigrants.

I wonder if the original native Americans (Red Injuns as they were called) had a say in the matter when the whites from across the ocean invaded their country and all but exterminated them.\n\nMost US citizens, dear person are also a descendant of immigrants yourself, I'm sure, as are most of the white and black American folks replying to you, unless they are of Native American descent (which I am sure you would not be proud to proclaim, if you were). Even the guys who came over on the Mayfair, they initiated the unjustness by being the harbingers of terror that culminated in the annihilation of native Americans\n\nI wonder when the Caucasian will ever get over the white 'massa' superiority complex?\n\n\nAmerica has been drawing people from all over the world, right from the days of it's discovery as a land with the fabled pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Give it some more time, you'll end up with an exodus of people, as is happening among the immigrants from India which is gaining from the Brain Gain as opposed to the earlier brain drain.\n\nI remember when my cousin migrated to the US in the seventies, people had similar complaints about the Indians.\n\nTh reverse is happening now, a number of western countries have their top people insisting on an India stint, and the Indians, well they wanna come back to their roots.
