The Hopi are a nation that existed before the United States. Existed before Mexico. Hopi have their own government, have their own nation.

What are the borders of the Hopi nation?
-
Hopi is 2,500 square miles that border the Navajo Nation. Hopi has its own police, its own schools, its own healthcare.

But that's not what you're asking, is it? You're asking a question that's meant to detract from the concept of nationhood.

White whites violently colonized the Americas, they relied on a racist notion that nations and government didn't exist here.
@Bernie_Gilbert -
But nations and government very much *did* exist here — but they weren't modeled after European concepts.
@Bernie_Gilbert -
You define a nation by whether it has a king and a militarized border. 2016 and you're still stuck on that shit. It's sad.

Maybe I'm being naive, but isn't spanish speaking a dead giveaway of colonization?
