I in particular find it amusing because although my family has been here about 10,000 years, give or take an ice age or two, none of the languages spoken at the time the Europeans arrived are spoken by any of the European descendants.

I can imagine how you feel when you see an American yelling at someone in their *own* country for not speaking English. My foreparents were treated the same way in *this* country for not speaking English. How confusing is that?

People really need to take a time out, now and again, from behaving like children.

Oh, I just wanted to add, the number 7 is considered an auspicious number by any number of Plains Nations (tribes), while 4 is also considered auspicious, because of the 4 directions, North, South, East, and West. Some Nations also consider number 6 a fortunate number for the four directions, but they add Earth, (5) and Heaven (6).

winyan: men especially white non-natives to a country have always had to force the natives (native american/ australian aborigines) to conform to them rather than the other way round. it's not confusing, it's downright shameful behaviour, but i shan't continue cos thats gonna open up a whole can of worms.
