::Actually, I think that by now most people in America are natives. It has been several generations since the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans, so even though they are descendants of Europeans most current inhabitants of the Americas were born there in the Americas. Being born there is what makes you native to it, otherwise there would be no native Americans at all, since the inhabitants of the Americas can be roughly divided into, in reverse chronological order of inhabitance, descendants of Africans, Europeans and Asians (that is, descendants of Asians were the first to inhabit America).

The map seems to be using the either the [[wikipedia:Gall stereographic projection|Gall stereographic projection]] or the [[wikipedia:Mercator projection|Mercator projection]], which is also used by Google Maps. However, the drawing does not match up with the standard projection used by Google Maps -- Better people may be able to find a projection which more closely align with the drawing. | The map seems to be using the either the [[wikipedia:Gall stereographic projection|Gall stereographic projection]] or the [[wikipedia:Mercator projection|Mercator projection]], which is also used by Google Maps.
