Are you talking about Europeans?

Try a minumum of 15,000 years ago, and most likely longer, some possible evidence indicating as much as 35,000, if not longer, for Native Americans. At that time modern Homo Sapiens from Africa and Asia were still raping Neanderthals in Southwestern Eurasia to produce Cro Magnums and much of Europe was still frozen under ice, including where your ancestors settled long AFTER people got to the Western Hemisphere, land uninhabitable even to Neanderthals.

No industry? As compared to what? The industrial age had not begun yet anywhere when Europeans started arriving. They did, however, have manufacture, and unlike Europeans (every bit of technology they utilized originated in East, Central, and Asia Minor (Middle East), theirs was developed independently.

75% of all agricultural species used througout the world today originated with Native Americans, including the most widely grown staples of corn and potatoes, or have you not looked at what you ate for dinner?
Conversely, every single domesticated species in Europe prior to trans Atalntic contact came from Asia, except, yup, the bunny rabbit. PERIOD.

Other than the bald eagle and the black bear, those animals in the pic are Eurasian, and arrived not too long before Native Americans did, who followed them. Pretty sure they would have built a wall if they could back were they migrated from, seeing as their brethren there are extinct in most of the range they're indigenous to.

Inuits were the last native group to arrive in North America, betwen 2000 - 5000 yrs ago.
Regardless, even if all got here 1491, they were still already here first, and there ain't a damn thing you can do to change that.

As much as you may beg for it in this meme, pity is irrelevent. Facts are still facts.

Scuse my typos.

haha, so true,,,

And the OP is more sympathetic to the animals than to Native Americans, even as her people wiped the same species out in their ancestral home and do the same here simply for kicks, or 'sport' as they call it. Because hiding a gun under shoulder pads to shoot the quarteback in football is the gentlemanly sporting way.

7am, gotta hit the sack, I'm totally zoned out,,,

Which isn't true either because Native Americans revered animals and regarded them as highly spiritual beings. What Western civilization doesn't get is the fact that these indigenous peoples gave back to the land what they took, for thousands of years, hence why everything was so pristine when the whites finally came to rape and pillage everything they got their hands on. Pollution, destruction, that's all western civilization's doing, and in a relatively short period of time. Are we really so much better off than they were?

Ancient Aliens Meme | INDUSTRY | image tagged in memes,ancient aliens | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Ah yes, whatever would humans have done without industry? Slaving away for the almighty dollar, buildings and roads and guns! Getting ulcers, taking pills and dying from all the stress. And for what? We can't take it with us. At the end of the road, we all return to the earth the same way. The worms won't care how much was in our bank or what kind of care we drove when they're returning us to the single-called organisms from whence we came.

Hey, there's always huntin and muddin and ATV'in to get back to nature while waiting for slavery to return so the South can finally do something with itself other than spending all day taking selfies at the Walmart to post on Facebook.

Naah, c'mon, don't do that. Sure, you flubbed, and instead of the rest of the neo nazi's flocking to cheer on Custer's latest stand, you got some dolts to set you straight on reality. But I'm not asking you to back peddle, I want you to look me in the eye and spit in it F-A-C-T-S (though there are none to counter what I said).

The aim of your meme and that comment on another that lead me here was to somehow disqualify Native American claim to their TWO CONTINENTS on an entire HEMISPHERE that your befuddled ancestors hadn't gotten to because their high tech BIBLE taught them they'd fall off the face of this flat Earth. Heck, if it wasn't for a Spic looking for India, y'all STILL be hunkered over there, starving, no potatos to fill your bellies with, wheat withering as the post glacial thin depleted top soil washed away. Like really, you think the population of Europe was going to boom on a diet of French wine and mutton?

Thanksgiving, ever heard of it? Leif Ericksen & Co? The Vikings STARVED to death here and in Greenland because they didn't want to learn native tech, LITERALLY, even tho it was offered to them. Did you know early English invaders starved while rivers were flowing with fish because water in Europe was so dirty with their own shit they thought the fish as disgustingly foul chunks of poison. Did you know they didn't drink the water - drinking beer and hard cider instead? They were all perpetually drunk, albiet the brew was a tad milder than in your 12oz. Did you know they didn't bath? Do you know how the people in the tropics of South America, Africa, and Asia described European invaders? As real smelly monkies due to the stench and their hairyness. That was the purpose of perfume and snuff, so that these high techers won't puke just by being near each other. See, there's racism, and there's reality.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT: R-E-A-D how the Spanish who had literally been around the world described Tenochititlan and the Mexica that lived there. The most beautiful, productive, and well organized city they had ever seen. But alas, they sacrificed people to their God, and not to Jesus, so they had to go. Plus they had a crap ton of gold thangs they, um, manufactured. So praise tha lawd and pass the ammunition, it's feeding time again!

Welcome to Earth.

Let's also not forget how they decimated indigenous people with disease, sometimes on purpose to wipe them out so they took take their gold and their land. The Spanish came, saw gold and started killing people for it, using religion and their repressed ideals as an excuse. Heathens need to put on clothes and stop speaking their own language so we can steal everything they've got. I guarantee Cortez has a very special place in hell for all the terror he unleashed.

The US Goverment giving them blankets infested with smallpox even.
Signing peace treaties to end war, then massacring them at the crack of dawn before they woke. One Chief approached the surrounding cavalry with a US Flag and a copy of the treaty, they shot him on the spot and then slaughtered the rest of the tribe.

Even in the 80s, the US Gov't was talking about taking some Reservations away from them despite treaties saying it was theirs because the gov't wanted to open them up to uranium mining. Reagan was for getting rid of the Rez's all together, at least suggesting it.

I figure you know where the term "Red skin" originated.
