 How
can natives
be native americans
when
there was
no America
when they were
NATIVES?

How can
Natives 
be Americans
when they already
HAD A NAME
coined
by them who knew
who they really
were?

Who is AMERICA
anyway?

 Reviews of "Native Americans"

But just think about--how could they be Indians?
Thought-provoking poem, but I'll vote on calling them Native Americans. Even if America had no name when they were already here, they were natives of the land that became America.
As for "Who is AMERICA?" it would take all day to answer that one, so I think melting-pot will have to do for now.
