Okay, so then why does any person descended from any indigenous American group alive today have the right to call themselves indigenous or live on a reservation? Please explain it.
You are saying that modern indigenous people are not of the same people as their ancestors.
So why should they be given ancestral land and autonomy? According to you, the modern Sioux aren’t of the same people as the ones who were there before Europeans got there, they’re just Americans.
So why do they get special reserved land and autonomy? Why do they deserve it based on your rationale that they are not the same people?
In what way are they not the same apart from not living at the same time period? Again, you’re making the argument that indigenous people today are no longer indigenous.

Wait, so your whole argument has been that the Mayans aren’t immortal? Yes, I’m aware.

Dear Quetzalcoatl, this is all because I accidentally left out the word “of” in one post?
