Who Are The Copper-Colored Aboriginals?

It is documented that “copper-colored” Aboriginals have lived on the American continent for over fifty-thousand years. There are many early documents describing the phenotype of Aboriginal Americans prior to European invasion. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author of the famed “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (1853), describes in detail the phenotype of the Aboriginal Americans in her book “Primary Geography for Children, On an Improved Plan” (1833):

“Before the White people came over to America, it had many tribes of people in it. Some of these tribes still remain in the United States, and in the countries north of it, and in South America. These form what are called the American race. They have a copper-colored skin—long, black hair— small, dark eyes—and very thick lips, and broad noses.” (Beecher-Stowe, 1833).

Noah Webster’s Dictionary 1828 Defines American as:

AMER’ICAN, adjective Pertaining to America.

AMER’ICAN, noun A native of America; originally applied to the aboriginals, or copper-colored races, found here by the Europeans; but now applied to the descendants of Europeans born in America.

Discovery of Luzia Woman

Recent scientific studies have found a link between the DNA of Aboriginal Americans and the Aborigines of Australia. In 1975, archaeologist  Annette Laming-Emperaire found the 11,500 year-old skeletal remains of an ancient Brazilian woman whom they named “Luzia”. The remains were found in a cave in Lapa Vermelha, Brazil. Richard Neave of Manchester University, who undertook a forensic facial reconstruction of Luzia described it as “negroid”. Anthropologists have variously described Luzia’s features as resembling those of “Negroids, Indigenous Australians, Melanesians and the Negritos of Southeast Asia”. Dr. Walter Neves, an anthropologist at the University of Sao Paulo, had this to say regarding Luzia:

”We can no longer say that the first colonizers of the Americas came from the north of Asia, as previous models have proposed. This skeleton is nearly 2,000 years older than any skeleton ever found in the Americas, and it does not look like those of Amerindians or North Asians.” (Larry Rohter, 1999).

These findings were all shown and explained in detail in the 1999 BBC documentary entitled “The First Americans Were Australian”.

(Note: This archaeological research dates back between 1975-1999. There’s even further, more recent research that has been conducted on this subject.
