Talk:History of North America

This can't be right..
Or it is trying to advance something other than the idea the Amerindians came from Asia, in which case it requires rephrasing...

"Factors supporting Asiatic migration are discoveries in Cassiar, British Columbia of Chinese coins identified as circulating in China in 2000 BC, in Telegraph Creek, British Columbia of large Buddhist charms of a type not manufactured for 1500 years, in Nanaimo, British Columbia of a Japanese sword eleven feet underground. Linguist Father Jean Marie Le Jeune recorded that he found evidence of Hebraic words in native languages in British Columbia, possibly stemming from early Jewish influence in China. Anthropological models of migration to the New World also provide insight into the earliest history of North American indigenous people."

Christopher Columbus = Catalan?
Does anybody have any evidence in support of that statement? To my knowledge, as well as that of those who wrote the article on Columbus, he was from Genoa. 208.65.64.18 (talk) 17:35, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Revamped taskforce
I am reviving the North American History taskforce. This article is directly related to the taskforce, so I'm wondering if anybody wants to join. Please feel free to add your name. Ghinga7 (talk) 22:23, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Citation Needed in First Paragraph
I added a "citation needed" mark to the last sentence in the first paragraph. I seriously doubt the sentence is accurate. As admirable as the indigenous cultures are/were, there was a lot of conflict among them. Sometimes one group even wiped out or absorbed another.

 * I removed the statement that early North American cultures were "based on peaceful trade" moreso than were the cultures of other continents. The statement may be true, but there was no supporting research cited.UnvoicedConsonant (talk) 02:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Proposed Article Merge
Should Prehistory of the United States be merged with this article? The United States didn't exist in prehistory, so I think we should use the geographical location and combine the rest of the area in North America as well. Mrytzkalmyr (talk) 01:17, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

Do not support. This article is mostly human history while that article is geological periods. This article is long enough. Extending the time period would be too long. Also see WP:MERGEPROP on how to start a discussion that will include interested editors. Fettlemap (talk) 22:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
