[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 76854055, member: 302807"] I don't think of people or time that way. Some child of 5 years old hasn't been there longer than you....it doesn't matter what ethnic group or tribe he claims. Yeah. It's a quandary for those Europeans who in the past realized that these people were never going to quite fit into their society or reach the potential they could if they stayed separated from their society. In many places, these sort of attempts were made to bring people from a relatively "unadvanced" sort of society and into one that was ahead of all others. This didn't happen everywhere of course....most empires simply killed off anyone who might cause any trouble. Sometimes....a foreign group was able to recognize the significance of western civilization and made a concerted effort to understand it and adopt its practices....because failing to do so just meant that they would inevitably be crushed by it. Japan during the Meiji Restoration is a good example....and the advances they made in a mere 30 years took hundreds of years for Europeans to achieve. Well your link above indicates otherwise. If the school is on tribal land.....and the tribe doesn't want the school and would like to bulldoze it, and remove all those of European ancestry, would you leave all tribal land and return to Europe?
