I think your reaching and as you say being overly technical here here, most anyone reading my post would understand the intent and yes I do indeed understand the definition of "native" which is why I stuck the word "real" in front as a qualifier. The point is, had those first arrived( the" indians" as we call them, that's another story in itself ) put up the barricades and successfully repelled the invaders from Europe we wouldn't be here to bandy about who's a native and who isn't, who belongs and who doesn't.
