*Jensen: If Indians didnt cross the Bering Strait, how did they come to inhabit this continent? What do the Indians themselves say? *Deloria: That last question isnt asked often enough, and points out another problem with the scientific tradition. Somehow it is presumed that scientists, and thus Europeans, know better than the Indians themselves how Indians got here and how they lived prior to Columbus. That attitude is patronizing at best. Instead of digging and analyzing, why dont researchers just ask the Indians? And then, having asked, why dont they take the answers seriously? - Vine Victor Deloria Jr.
