One of the most acrimonious debates in American archaeology is that of the timing of the earliest human presence in the Western Hemisphere. I argue that the denial of Pre-Clovis (pre 13,200 cal BP) sites reflects a colonial practice which maintains an erasure of an ancient Indigenous presence. For many Indigenous people there is no separation between the past and the present, all time and all history is crucial to their culture and wellbeing. Rupturing connections between the past and the present as American archaeology has done; has been a very violent and destructive historic event. I argue that American archaeology has an ethical and moral duty to un-erase histories that its academic predecessors erased through violent discursive processes of knowledge production. The existence of numerous archaeological sites in the Pleistocene creates a dialogue from which Indigenous people can challenge erasures of the past, it foregrounds their identities and links to the land and empowers them in seeking justice. To allow that Indigenous people have been present in the Western Hemisphere for a much greater time is to support Indigenous ownership of the past and present. To accept that Indigenous peoples have been in the Western Hemisphere for over 60,000 years and possibly prior to 100,000 ybp is to put them on equal footing with areas of the so called Old World. I concur with Vine Deloria Jr. that Indians will never be accorded full humanity until they are connected with world history. I argue that there is a vast body of evidence for a much earlier human presence than traditionally accepted by American archaeologists. I present evidence of numerous of Pre-Clovis sites dispersed throughout the Western Hemisphere. Contrary to traditional archaeological discussions of early people in the Western Hemisphere, my research focus is not about where the First People came from or when they arrived. I argue that the first people and their descendants are indigenous to the continents of the Western Hemisphere and have been so for thousands of years. This land is where their cultures and lifeway were born, this is where they are from.
