what is bizarre is saying (without any REAL factual evidence) that
..."The Nahuatl people of
Siberia" existed. This language developed (and thus is an INDIGENOUS
language of) IN "<font style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"

<div><font style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" size="2">Greetings,<br>
I just found this post and the reference to my website <a
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

My site include a very rough draft article on the genetic migrations of
the original inhabitants of "Ixachilan." I used Ixachilan because I
learned that is one of the names that Nahuatl speakers use for our
ancient homeland (The Western Hemisphere). I know native Nahuatl
speakers from D.F., Cuentepec, and Puebla--all who use Ixachilan. Of
course, there were no Nahuatl speakers in Siberia tens of thousands of
years ago. However, I find nothing wrong with using Ixachilan instead
of "America" or the Western Hemisphere. <br>
<br>
I really don't understand what is so political about using Ixachilan. <br>
<br>
Most of the research that I cite in the article is from primary
literature. However, I do agree that the research needs a lot more
development. Regardless, Ixachilan is simply another way to describe
our (indigenous) ancestral homeland.<br>
<br>
I really would love to read anything composed in English or any other
language that is NOT "contaminated" with political bias. Seriously,
what knowledge is politically free? Human language and knowledge are
socially constructed by humans who contaminate everything with their
humanity. If humans are not responsible, then please explain who is! <br>

A quick Google on "nahuatl siberia" turned up the following article
containing references to "Ixachilan": <br>

An interesting article but, alas, one contaminated by political bias.<br>
