Darlene,

I'd like to see a statement that the indigenous character of the 
Greenland Home Rule government is harmed, if only in theory, by the 
construction of Greenland as a part of Europe.

I'd also like to see a statement that the indigenous character of 
North America is harmed, if only in theory, buy the construction of 
North America as limited to the Francophone and Anglophone dominated 
nation states.

For those not looking, some of the largest native language populations 
in the United States (and the North American Region as ICANN 
constructs it) are Nahuatl, Mixtex and Zapotec. If the three major 
Mayan languages, Yucatec, Tzeital and Tzotzil) are counted as "Mayan", 
it should be counted as well. These are right up there with Cree 
(counted like "Mayan" as a single language"), or Slavey (same).

Eric
