Reply to Yale by thug_nificent

Having Yale is a net positive. While I'd like for them to pay a small amount more in taxes, I think they bring way more than just money.

Absolutely it’s a good thing. They could pay no taxes and that would be fine with me. It’s an ivy legue school in our state, bringing top tier talent into our state. Why would that be bad

I mean isn't the only nice area around Yale anyway? A lot of blight and poverty in other spots. It's sad. I go a couple times a year and there isn't anything there that would make me want to live there.

That stood out to me too. So every time someone uses that term they're insulting a native American tribe... I had no idea.

yes, that's a fascinating discovery and speaks directly to my point. Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps that is how they are using the term. But if the term "indigenous" is being used solely to convey the inhabitants of land prior to being conquered then Europe, Asia, and the Middle East would have an almost unlimited number of indigenous peoples.

I'm not sure I understand any distinction though regarding spending "a lot of time conquering and killing each other" as I wouldn't assume the Americans were any different.

Is that the group that owns the equivalent of a residential property in (I think) Trumbull, or somewhere close by? I believe it's listed as a reservation or official tribal property if a Google search is done

But even parts of Europe were colonized. For example, Latvia was one of the last parts of Europe to become Christian. Germans conducted a series of crusades to conquer the people, and established a ruling structure over the indigenous people there for centuries that resembled later colonies all over the world.

Chickens Warrups in Redding was Mohawk and then there is Mohawk Mountain. I'd think they'd be on the map.
