Limited or no, and despite it's being rather tongue-in-cheek in nature,
my post did posit a question which can be easily answered: Responding to
the characterization of Euro- and Afro- and Asian-Americans as
"squatters" (presumably on native american lands), I asked if other late
comers (like the Dine who dispossessed pueblo groups of their lands)
should also be considered "squatters."
