MESSAGE to SOCIAL SCIENTIST DEANS.

Many people came to America from many places.
.
Dear DEANS of the Social Science departments.
.
In September 2011 the Appalachian Shawnee Tribe sent a packet to 228 top ranked university departments.  The packet contained a color map of the LENAPE EPIC and a copy of the Lenape Epic in Migration & Diffusion paper.
.
They requested that someone in your department vet the evidence for the Lenape Migration,  That evidence is the Maalan Aarum, the oldest American history and the 1720 Carte Du Canada
  
The Carte verifies that the Maalan Aarum is an accurate account of past events.  The Lenape Epic describes some of those pre-history events.
.
There were no negative comments from scholars in 228 top ranked departments of Anthropology, Linguistics, and History.
.
So, because there was no opposing arguments  the evidence and testimony should be considered valid.

Since that time Patricia Sutherland has published an article in the National Geographic in which she concludes that Vikings were in Ancient America.

Additional artifacts of Viking whetstones made of composite stone with iron core have been found.

.
A question remains.  There exist tons of evidence and reams of written testimony about pre-history America.  Very little of that information appears in textbooks for any students or scholars. 

The evidence and testimony have been known for over many centuries.  So, finding more evidence and  written testimony will not likely make the information appear in any textbook for any students or scholars.
.
Why?

"A fast-growing body of scholarship reflects increasing awareness that Eurocentric assumptions have profoundly influenced and distorted historians' understanding of the modern world both in Europe and beyond."*

Perhaps the American Social Science understanding of the past has been "profoundly…distorted" by the Eurocentric paradigm.
.
We, professional scholars of pre-America, will continue to search for evidence and testimony.  But our main focus will be toward replacing the Eurocentric Paradigm with an American ParadigmThe American Paradigm is based on the belief that North America,  like all other parts of the world,  was visited by many people from many places throughout the dispersion of Homo Sapiens.
.
We request that you join the effort to publish an accurate account of past events in America for schoolteachers and university scholars.
.
Advocate the AMERICAN paradigm every chance you get,
Every way, everywhere, every day, ALL DAY.
