<div>All:</div>

<div>I've been reviewing info on Ms. Rees because as a researcher
her claims that U.S. Indigenous people's "forefathers" are the Chinese
(or Asians?) with her speeches on ancient world maps & that Chinese
were first to "discover" this continent. Are there any language or
linguistic researchers who agree with her views?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm concerned at the stories such as this where a Navajo, on a
trip to China, was greeted by "...distant Chinese relatives there.."
whether Native people are once again pawns in colonialist/paternalistic
attitudes about our origins still discounting our own creation beliefs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does anyone have info on whether she is considered legitimate?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>

mentioned in an earlier newsletter made his trip to China in May and
was greeted by distant Chinese relatives there. (See the attached
photos). According to Walter Loo from U.S. Chinese Art Museum in
Oakland, CA who accompanied the Navajo: “Many newspapers came and I was
interviewed by CCTV and Beijing TV. The Deputy Head of Ministry of
Overseas Chinese attended and expressed their interest in helping their
new 2.5 million overseas Chinese Indians in North America. They are
also very well aware of Chinese Indians in Central and South America
that number about 10 million.” </font></font></span></p>
