Sorry, knee jerk reaction, I have too many assholes that post just to insult me
Try going to an event for Native Americans where they try to better help people understand their culture, they come out of the woodwork saying they have a distant relative thats Native American. I didn't know anything about it till I met my buddies dad, we did the sweat lodge and some other things that were very much an experience.
Anyone that's going to find out about it, start with relatives, you'll find they have bad information, but it's a starting point. Looking thru the census is a great way to find even more. I actually found a guy that had done the research on my family name back to the 1400's which was pretty cool. Sometimes you just get lucky

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
