Be a real American. |
JAD, the Americans are this board ARE Native Americans.
As for the non-Americans, come on board! BE A REAL AMERICAN! JAD said so!
Sorry, dude, but if you're so smart, you'd know that they're now called First Nations People. 
(PC police don't come after me—think of whom I'm directing this at.) |

That would make sense- didn't the native american indians cross from kamchatka and were descended from koreans? |

yeah, koreans and inuits share siberian heritage.
not all native americans though, nowhere close... i believe there are thousands of tribes, the ones who came first before inuits that settled in south america and central america were most likely se asian, polynesian, and australian aborigine (melesian) i believe. but the siberians and the alaskan/canadian weather and climate, and their later arrival all seemed to fit the population migration theory. |

Not always a lot of natives can easily pass for Korean I this from personal experience, that being said my kids don't have the slightest idea what a native is  |

Back during the Korean War, my dad's cousin (Odawa) joined the US Army, was sent to Yale to learn Korean with a NK dialect, and was dropped into the North as a spy. His escape, as the story goes, was very James Bondian. He died back in '86; my wife and I saw him a month before he died (when my wife held his hand, he melted into his hospital bed--it was probably the first time in decades a pretty Korean lady held his hand). I was a pallbearer at his funeral. |

Ditto...
Koreans don't care about the history of other countries - Native American, French or ??? . Why would you think a sleep deprived and overworked teenager would?
Also, my school's curriculum uses an American Social Studies textbook for one of my English lessons. I focus upon the VOCABULARY. I try to put the English social studies vocabulary into a Korean setting.
Only then, I seem to get a flicker of yawning interest from the students. |
