  Patriot, I agree with your point that not all colonists were English. I stand corrected. However, I would absolutely say that the colonists were the true Native Americans because although they were British, they were the first Americans. As I have written in my post above, they were the first Americans, whereas the injins were the first people in a land that would BECOME america. Before it was America, it was just the new world. It was just teepees and savages. But when the colonists came, this new world became America with the colonial injection of laws, rights, and culture into this new world. So yes, I would call the colonists the Native Americans.  Based on what you said in your post, you have to come from Asia to be considered a Native American. My point once again is that if they came from Asia, they were native asians who came to the land that would become america. Native generally has that connotation of number 1, or the first, the original. Well, the British (not English lol) colonists would therefore be considered NATIVE americans since they created america. And since they created what we know as America today, they would be considered the first Americans. And if they are the first Americans, then they are therefore the NATIVE americans.   Just my opinion, I could be wrong, King  I didn't say you had to come from Asia to be considered native American... I meant that the so called native Americans(indians), aren't really indigenous aka native to this land because they originated from Asia. The indians are a Mongoloid/Asiatic race, they are not biologically much different from the Mongolians.
