This was found growing in groves along the coast of Georgia (The State).

Was Cherokee Territory a Colonial Endeavor itself? A land of refuge for Incas and Mayans?
Nathaniel Young
indians were all retarded savages nobody cares
Bentley Gomez
Interesting, but I feel like it may get more traction in /his/ , tho looking at that board it may even be too niche for them. I wonder if /sci/ talks about the movements of peoples over time? Probably not. I should visit those boards more often.

No one can do skull surgery like the Kallawaya to this very day. Their methods are still trade secrets. en.wikipedia.org
Hudson Cox

Jonathan Roberts
It's similar to trepanning you miscreant.
Dominic Harris
No user. Poor marks for a completely different method. en.wikipedia.org

Oliver Rivera
You seriously underestimate the Andeans.

At the Etowah Mounds in Georgia, they recovered pottery with artistic graphics on them that are similar to Mayan and Aztec Pottery. The Spanish were told that the settlers at the mounds were the "ancient peoples" and were not there anymore.

Yeah, we're all browns, we're all indians.. those borders that were drawn up later mean nothing.
But the wytoids stuck us in that "hispanic" category.
They don't want us united eventhough we're the same race.. all browns from the americas. This is for obvious reasons. Divide and conquer is in full effect, it hasn't been lifted

My theory is that they assimilated into the Cherokee after being exiled by the Muskogean Societies who they once held a lot of sway over.
Joseph Hill
Brown is a very generic word. I prefer Amerindian.

The shape and size of those mounds can be found all over the planet. These were earthern mounds, before masonry was discovered. Then ... the pyramids ...

People had sex with neighboring tribes, and the genes shall flow
Eli Perry
Yeah, that would be a better term. Hopefully it catches on.

Mayans were distant and Pre-Incas and Incas were very distant. It seems boats of wayward traders/travellers from Peru and Mexico discovered Kentucky and stayed there. I believe they enjoyed a privileged position but for some reason the migrants didn't like each other. Possibly competition.

I used to name /AG/ (Amerindian General) generals /NAG/ (Native American General) but Americans White and Native alike took issue with the term so I changed it.
William Rogers
Makes sense. I have Apache and my partner has Cherokee we were surprised our grandmas had similar features. You’d never guessed we had native American that’s the interesting part
