Inaccurate title. 1000 years before columbus, first nations people were already living in NA.
- kbart 11y agoIt doesn't say they were the first to do so.
- gdilla 11y agodiscover infers a first, unless it's qualified. Which the title is not.
- kbart 11y agoSo Columbus didn't discover America too, because there were at least few civilizations living there already. All continents (except Antarctica) have their indigenous human population, but discovery is often used from the perspective of western civilization. It's only a matter of the point of view.
- gdilla 11y agoThat's right. And it's an outdated, racist and ethnocentric way of thinking. We know better now than to dehumanize other civilizations.
