Where are the American Indians?

Everywhere! Ever see someone that is Mexican, or Puerto Rican, or even some one that just has dark hair and brown skin, well they re probably of native blood .The recessive gene that native peoples of the Americas have is the most dominant and unchanging gene on the planet so the dark hair and brown skin complexion is always apparent when it come to how a person looks. Come on look at a Mayan, a Pima, a Navajo, a Colombian, a Salvadorian, and a Mexican. The gene is totally apparent in all of them unless thy re a "gringo" of European descent living within the Americas . Native peoples live everywhere in North America, Central America, and South America .The pyramids in Mexico was the Central trading spot of "The Peoples" Natives Empire and society in ancient times. Oh and the person who updated this answer "ME" am myself an Amerindian "American Indian" of the Akimel O'otham tribe and Nican Tlaca people. So to answer this question I'm right here !

What year did the US take possession of Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is not a state and never has been a state. It is a commonwealth that is a part of the US, acquired as a result of the Spanish American War. Should the majority of Puerto Rican residents eventually vote for Statehood, and the local legislature approves a resolution to petition the US Congress for Statehood, and the Governor of Puerto Rico approves the petition to the US Congress, then the US Congress (both House and Senate) must pass a resolution to admit Puerto Rico to the Union. If this resolution is passed and signed by the President Puerto Rico would become a state.

I am of Mexican descent myself. My mother is a Mexican citizen, my father was American, also of Mexican descent. "Of Mexican descent" or "Mexican" is just fine with me.
