Noni, I don't know your native american affiliation (let me guess - NW?) but
have a Korean sister-in-law. While that brother & she were stationed in NM near
an Apache rez, she told me she could understand Apache well enough. !! Apache
migrations were a little later than Navajo into the US southwest.
Apache is an Athapascan language related to Navajo & some northwestern tribes.
As an island Okinawa has bounced some and Japanese & Koreans have a rivalry to
this day.

first half-dozen paragraphs account for 1000 years' written history but doesn't
address prehistory and mans' migrations.

Thanks Mike,
I am trying to understand the "earlier" markers,
one came through on the 25 marker, then in more
detail that we have markers from a "aboriginal"
Japanese linage, and was explain as being around
Okinawa. That really has me stumped-- could have
been a line from our American Indian one-- a long time
ago. My gr. grandmother was a Canadian Indian, we
just haven't figured out what tribe yet.
