History
Indians of the Americans - Where from?
From the book: IN SEARCH OF THE ORIGIN OF NATIONS by Craig White Origins of the AMERICAN INDIANS Let us now turn our attention to the American Indian tribes. From which descendant of Noah do they spring? There are scores of Indian tribes (somewhere in the vicinity of 178 major tribal groupings 1062). They cannot, must not, be lumped together under one single description. They are very individualistic and do not all share common languages or customs 1063. The Indian tribes have never been homogenous. In California alone, there are distinctive types in head form, facial features, and the nose. Here we find the shortest and tallest of all American Indians 1064. Unfortunately, many books lump them together with the Mongoloids ... but many of them are so very different: They differ in features, skin colouring, blood groups and in other areas 1065. In this section we shall discover the part Canaanite origins of the Sioux, Akiri and Chivite Indians. Others in Alaska and in South America look much like the Mongoloids of Asia 1066 and no doubt either a branch of Tiras migrated via that route or peoples descended from Magog and the Turkic (Edomite) tribes migrated via that route. The fascinating migration of the Dene and Na-Dene from Asia is detailed in The Dene and Na-Dene Indian Migration - 1233 AD by Ethel Stewart. Should the reader ever be in a position to afford the time to study Ethel Stewart's book it would be well worth it. She delves into the origin of various American Indian tribes who were ousted by Ghengis Khan but who fled to the Americas in the 13 `h century. In this large book of over 500 pages, proofs utilised include linguistics, folklore, religion and knowledge of Central Asia whence they sprang. One of these tribes, the Navajo, may be a derivation of Nebajoth, whose sister, Edom married (Genesis 36:3). Nebajoth was a son of Ishmael and as such the family name may have carried also via Edom. In fact, write Broek and Weber, many Indians look like south-east Asians 1067. They may have been referring to such tribes as the Navajo. In a personal letter from a Filipino pen-friend of mine, dated 5 March 1979, he stated: "You know, the Spaniards have always called the Filipinos 'Indios', (meaning Indians) as they called the natives of Central and South America. Filipinos have always resented this! My elder sister 3-4 years ago went to the U.S. to do some research on public health among the Navajo Indians. And you know the Navajos would not believe that my sister wasn't a Navajo herself! My wife also told me of how the second daughtcr of [name witheld] remarked from the pure logic of a 7 or 8 year old, upon seeing Filipinos for the first time on their arrival here: `Look at all those Indians!'." 1068. ...... 1062 South American Culture in Perspective 1973:12 1063 Reynolds 1974:506 1064 ibid: 511 1065 ibid: 512 1066 Heyerdahl 1978:358 1067 Broek & Weber 1968:83 1068 Personal letter; name withheld. ...... Undoubtedly there was a relationship between the American Indians and other peoples. The peoples of Milyaes were in south-east Asia; another branch may be in America today (the Dyakids of Borneo, for instance, have blow-guns and bird dances in similitude to certain South American tribes). Physical anthropologists recognise the diverse origins of the Indians, and have thus attempted to classify them into three broad groups: Zentralid (Mexico, U.S.A) Andid (Peru), Brasilid (Brazil) 1069. From where did they originate? And why is there but one brief reference to Tiras in the Bible and that is in the Table of Nations? He then disappears from Scripture, unlike the other nations, which persist in the Near East for some time. Is it because he disappeared so far from the Near East that he had no consequence on the course of events in the Old World? If this be the case, then we should look for a people far removed from the Old World. The Red-Skins of Thrace Baikie, in a book published in 1926, wrote of the ancient peoples of Thrace that they were of reddish-brown complexion with their long black hair done up in a crest. 1070 How like the American Indian! But who was their forefather? Josephus tells us: "Tiras also called those whom he ruled over Thirasians; but the Greeks changed the name into Thiasians" 1071. A city called Tiraspol exists today in Russian Moldavia, near the Rumanian border in the region of ancient Thrace! Although it was built just over two hundred years ago, in 1792, the name nevertheless seemingly recalls the early name of that region; and the River Tearus (Tiras) ran through the region of Thrace according to Herodotus. 1072 This is where one branch of Tiras dwelt before migrating into central Asia. Most theologians cannot trace the descendants of Tiras. statement fairly indicative of most theologians and historians: Professor Archibald Sayce makes a "Tiras is the only son of Japhet whose name continues to be obscure. Future research can alone be expected to settle the question" 1073. Well let us settle that question once and for all. Let us discover where the descendants of Tiras migrated to. From whence spring the Indians of the Americas? Who is their forefather in Genesis chapter 10? Is it at all possible to trace these amazing tribes and peoples to an ancient source in the Middle East?................. Craig White gives you this suggested reading He indeed proves in his book, the origin of the North American Indians. His book can be obtained---- just type in--- In Search of Origin of Nations into your web-browser. ...................................... |
