| | Native Americans in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Russell Means, a famous American Indian activist, opposes the term Native American because he believes it was imposed by the government without the consent of American Indians. | | | To be established as a tribal groups, members have to submit extensive genealogical proof of tribal descent, yet in past years many Native Americans denied their Native American heritage, because it would have deprived them of many rights, such as the right of probate. | | | An avowed white supremacist and fervent advocate of eugenics, Plecker believed that the state's Native Americans had been "mongrelized" with its African American population. |

| | Existing rights were not frozen in their pre-1982 state, but are simply those which have never been extinguished. | | | Regulation of rights, without an express intent which will not be lightly implied, does not extinguish them. | | | The Tribe did not waive its inherent sovereign immunity from suit merely by seeking an injunction against the tax assessment. |

| | The Many Faces of Human Participation with Nature |
| | As the sea floor moved northward, islands, mountain ranges in the sea floor, and perhaps even pieces of other continents were carried along on this giant conveyor belt to be crushed against the southern part of the North American continent. | | | At the time our story begins, however, they were near the southern edge of the North American continent, and today's Valley of Fire was part of the sea floor. | | | It remained open to migrating plants and animals - including the Ancient Ones, the ancestors of today's Aboriginal North Americans - until it was again inundated by rising seas as the climate warmed and the last glaciers melted, between ten and seven thousand years ago. |

| | Native American - Simple English Wikipedia |
| | Many of the American Indians died after the Europeans came to their countries, from diseases that came with the Europeans that were new to the Indians, in wars with the Europeans, or because the Europeans made them work as slaves. | | | Native Americans (also Aboriginal Peoples, Aboriginal Americans, American Indians, Amerindians, Amerind, Indians, First Nations, First Peoples, Alaskan Natives, Native Canadians, or Indigenous Peoples of America) are those people who were in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean Islands when the Europeans first came there. | | | Most of the American Indians also died due to guile on the part of settlers who used tricks such as trading them infected blankets and also by introducing foreign addicting substances such as alcohol which studies have proven are more addictive due to some biological functioning within American Indians. |
