Being part Cherokee(somewhere between 1/16 and 1/32) I've always felt hurt when other Christians go on about America as if it was a new Israel and ignoring what was done to the First Nations people of this land. I have wondered the exact same thing about the immigration of people from Mexico as part of Divine judgement..for the genocide and stealing of the land..also the abusive boarding schools, too. I met an Apache guy one time at a small church in Mountain View, Arkansas..he was exactly my age..and spent his childhood in a Catholic boarding school..where he was forbiddened to speak His native language and taught to look down on his culture. I was shocked that it still went on, even down to my generation! <br />By the way, I did a DNA test to find info about my Native DNA and was surprised to find the Native part of my DNA split in 3 parts! North American, Mesoamerican and South American!! Confirming oral stories among the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, etc that the ancestors immigrated from down in Mexico and Central America! There were stories of them leaving a place of volcanoes, etc! And apparently South Americans came to the southeast US too!
