>Why that matters I don't know (politics) but they were adamant supporters of the Clovis First hypothesis. I imagine that it's less about "being first," and more about not wanting a history of hideous exploitation to be washed out under the excuse of you weren't first. I try to imagine what it must be like to only have had my family's history recognised in any meaningful way in very modern times - and then to have people tell me "no no no, actually that's all changed, this is your narrative now." Rightly or wrongly, I think I'd be on the defensive as well.
