"First Americans may have arrived to the continent 30,000 years ago"

I remember a heated discussion some yrs ago here on DU about changing the name of Columbus Day. I've always bristled regarding the claim that he "discovered" the N. American continent. Bullshit! It was as if "indigenous populations" never existed - that only Europeans counted!
