Why are there Indians in America? When did modern Indians move there?

It is normal. If you look for a president named Fujimori in Peru in South America, do you think he is Japanese? Actually, he is Japanese. Of course, there are also many Chinese in North and South America.

The reason is that the United States is a very immigrant area in the eyes of modern people. The earliest indigenous people, such as Indians, Mayans, Aztecs, Incas, etc. Due to well-known reasons (western conquest, disease, etc.), it has declined very badly, and most of the whole continent was immigrated later. Basically can be divided into several categories:

White people: Spain, Portugal, Britain, France, Holland, etc. all appeared as conquerors.

Asians: China, Japanese and Indians, mostly engaged in business, labor and immigration.

Black: I won't say this. Everyone in triangle trade knows that.

Therefore, it is normal to have Indians in the United States, but it must be made clear that Indians belong to the authentic Indian subcontinent, and Indians are Columbus' wrong name for aborigines.
