So how many generations should we have to go back before we are considered "Native?" I was born here(1969), my father was born here(1949), My grandfather was born here(1919), My Great-great Grandfather was born here(1895). My Great great great grandfather was born here(1875). And his family came over here from Ireland in 1848. (fuckin potatos). That 5 generations.
I realize that the Indians were were for many more generations. But where do you draw the line? I have no ties to Ireland other than the way I look. I have never been there. All I know is this country. I feel pretty much like a native.
