Fwd: Newsletter from Charlotte Harris Rees - June 2010

[Bernadette Santamaria]

All:

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?

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.

Does anyone have info on whether she is considered legitimate?

Thanks.

Bernadette A. SantaMaria

The *Navajo Indian* that I 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.”



*TV Documentaries* - Both the Discovery and History Channels have recently
run pieces stating that Columbus was not the first to discover America.  On
the Discovery Channel piece Bob Meistrell mentioned that at least one of the
stone anchors  found off the coast  of California dated to around 2000 B.C.
That date rings a bell with me! I am hoping to meet up with Bob when I go to
California in September.
