I first got interested in this topic when there began to be arguments over the use and misuse of the word "indian", ala Cleveland Indians. Since native americans are not "indians" I wondered why they valued the word so much while the real "indians" from India didn't seem to care.

Then I got interested in claims to territory. It was interesting to discover that the people who built the large mounds in the upper midwest may not be related to the peoples who now claim that land as their ancestral lands. Also the evidence that there were caucasion type peoples here before the folks came across the siberian land bridge is of interest in this regard. Now it seems that the original Aztecs may have been different from the "indians" who predominate in Mexico now.

How about returning Germans and Poles to their ancestral homelands in Palestine? That one has caused quite a ruckess.
