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).
