      @@Rockhound6165 lol one is native to where they were born. And given that they emigrated here thousands of years ago with their generations being in this land for far longer than Europeans cared to cross an ocean I think we can call them Native Americans. Their history on this land is more than thousands of years old. But you missed my point in my previous comment. You are correct in that historical places in the US have only been around for 300 or so years BUT ONLY historical to European immigrants. I'm counting the Mayflower and everyone after that as the "European Immigrants". The natives don't necessarily have what we would consider "historical" but they had something similar, they had sacred places which the US government didn't care an iota to respect. You're a history buff, you should know.

And as with the stolen land, sure they were battling each other but the thirst for power and world domination was no where near the thirst Europeans had. With that being said, the US IS getting stolen, slowly welp maybe fast. We have immigrants galore and the European immigrants will be a minority eventually. Like you said, same story. Would be a bummer if future generations knock down our historical places. Imagine Mt. Rushmore and the likes being crumbled to pieces.

    Its actually a smart idea to have cats there. They are good guardians and protectors of the site. Imagine all the vermin that could burrow and dig away at the foundations and ruin what is there. The cats are their main predators and are a form of pest control. Not only that they keep the vermin population at bay which causes disease in a city like that.
