Siberian Americans

Numerous readers take exception to my diocesan newspaper saying that “other

than Native Americans, most of us come from immigrant stock.” The so-called

Native Americans (these readers wish to remind my diocese) trekked across

the Bering Strait in the last Ice Age, when there was a land bridge, and so

are most properly designated “Siberian-Americans.”
