    No. There are two rules to American anthropology and archaeology that may NOT be challenged. The first is: NO HUMANS BEFORE THE SIBERIAN IMMIGRANTS. Any remains that are not obviously Siberian MUST be called Siberian and handed over to the nearest tribe. They may be Austronesian, Caucasoid, Neanderthal, or anything else but that does not matter. The SIBERIANS FIRST rule must hold. The second is: NO PERMANENT EUROPEAN PRESENCE BEFORE COLUMBUS. That used to be NO EUROPEANS BEFORE COLUMBUS, but undeniable evidence of a Norse presence forced it to be amended.

    There is evidence for Polynesians.
    Like stuff they brought to new places such as chickens.
    Skulls, etc. in South America.
    Last population was in the most southern tip of South America.

    There are so many unanswered questions about our indigenous Australians. We have evidence they have been on this continent more than 60,000 years

    I'm all for truthful description of Aboriginals, but the way some people jerk them off you'd think they were the first people on the moon in '69.

    Personally I think Indigenous sovereignty is the way forward - an odd opinion for a conservative.

    That is a more Progressive idea than not.

    Though I've been told that the native Australians themselves want to assimilate.

    Native Australians have an actual history that purportedly goes back 40,000 years. That's 8 times recorded history and worth study just for the perspective it might give you.

    Either we are all Australians, without prejudice, or a segment that doesn't want that should have independence and localism.

    The situation I cannot tolerate is the current one where they're half in, half out, according to law.
