Also, if you're a settler and you disrespect Native creation beliefs and stories on this thread, I'm instantly blocking you. Our creation beliefs should be taken seriously and aren't some pseudoscience. They're literally a way of life.

Turns out there is evidence that Indigenous people have been living here for at least 130,000 years: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/new-evidence-human-activity-north-america-130000-years-ago-180963046/

Final thought: when you talk about how Indigenous people came to inhabit North America, please don't forget to talk about Black people, who are a displaced Indigenous people. It's vitally important to talk about the slave trade in any conversation about Indigenous people.

Some book recommendations for those who want to know more about Native creation beliefs. Some of these books are old and imperfect, but they contain some really rare stuff. If any Natives have any recommendations, please add them!

Definitely give @debreese a follow while your at it.

For my mutuals only: I had to go private for a bit because two major white supremacist accounts and a bunch of white "leftists" were sending me threats/r-wording me over this Tweet.
