Being of Native American blood also ( 1/8 Mowhawk), I still find it funny that anyone can think someone " discovered" any place where people already lived.

Actually they all came over on a Fullbright schollarship. Colombus later opened an Italian restaurant in Manhattan NY.

Thank you Stan Freeburg for my historical perspective.

True, the Indians were not native to North America either so they were the first "discoverers."

I'm fond of pointing out that Columbus' claim to fame is that he was the LAST person to "discover" America.
