What is the difference between being 'Native American' or being 'Native to the Americas'? Is there a difference between 'America the country' and 'America the continent'? "Where you from and who's your family?"

My responses are not answers, but opinions.

In response to native or indigenous: A person who comes to a country from another country is a immigrant (or emigrant). If they have children in the country they immigrated (or emigrated) to, then the children are native to the country in which they were born.

If a person is from an area (or region) since forever, then they are indigenous to that area.

I can give you my opinion about 'Native American' or 'native to the Americas', but that would be too easy.

So let me understand this sir, an indigenous person of another country (Mexico) in only indigenous and not Native American because they are not citizens of the U.S. therefore not American and definitely not Native AMERICAN. Correct?
I think I finally got it lol

Years ago, I was invited to Mexico City for the celebration on December 12th at the Cathedral. There were over 6,000 'Aztec' dancers. These were the Mexica people. They were not Native Americans. But, they were native to North America.

Culturally, each tribe/region/civilization is different. The commonality all tribes/region/civilizations, from the Arctic Circle to the South Pole, is they are indigenous to the Americas.

You asked for my opinion. Now you are questioning them. The reason I didn't answer you in your private message is because open forums are better.

My father's family is from Zacatecas, Mexico. My mother was born in Safford, Arizona. I have good blood from both side. I dont have to ask the question if I'm Native American or native American.

I think our conversion is over, sir.

It gets even worse when you have folks of who take pride in their mere .000001% Native American ancestry whereas Mexicans are often either clueless about it/in denial or ashamed of it. Perfect examples here:

they remind me of this:

Are those nazis? lol. I wonder if my German Shephard is a German Shephard. He’s black, tan, and looks like a German Shephard but he was born here. Is he still a German Shephard? Does his large amount of German shephard dna make him look the way he does? He isn’t “AMERICAN kennel club” certified, is he still a German shephard with or without a paper proving this? He looks exactly like my akc German shephard. I don’t think Imma call the non enrolled German shephard German anymore. Just shephard. Only my enrolled shephard will be German shephard lol. Because Akc recognizes him. Hahahahaha
How can one mixed person ever question another mixed persons identity? Lmao
Is there anyone on this site that is 100% Indian/ Native?
If not, we’re all in the same boat. Can’t we all just get along.

[JiuJitsuFighter]

If the government doesn’t recognize me as native am I still Native?
