    Let them make first contact. Let us focus on tending to the problems and challenges we have before us prior to introducing anyone else to them. 50 million Native Americans. 50 million people. Gone. Everyone forgets that when we talk about from sea to shining sea.

    They have survived this long without our intrusion...happily, most likely. Let them be.

    Leave them alone. The only reason we make contact it’s because they have something we want Or we’re trying to save them by preaching religion. In fairness some people really just want to know how they live and study them but I think the price is just too high.
