I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.

When you start to look at Native American history, you realize that, very far from being a peaceful, morally superior people, Native Americans were not that different from Europeans.

For decades, Indians have immigrated to the United States, joined our communities, and raised their families while maintaining their cultural heritage.

People tend to forget that in our country, we'd pretty much all be immigrants, except for the Native Americans.

From the newest arrivals to our Native American brothers and sisters, we are one America.

Native Americans are the original inhabitants of the land that now constitutes the United States. They have helped develop the fundamental principles of freedom of speech and separation of powers that form the foundation of the United States Government.

Both my parents were immigrants, as were many of their friends, the parents of the children with whom I grew up. Of course I respect and admire immigrants and their undeniable contributions to America, as we all should.

It almost seems that nobody can hate America as much as native Americans. America needs new immigrants to love and cherish it.

When I was a kid, I really loved Indians. Native Americans. Pardon. Me.
