As a Swiss descendant, I guess the people of Rome owe me, as do the Germanic tribes, and lets not forget the Gauls. It is now believed that the Caucasians (white race) may have been the 1st people to locate in North America (based on bone fragments found in the western US), and they disappeared upon arrival of the Mongols from whom the American Indians are believed to have descended. Hmmm. Does this make Caucasians "Native Americans" and the Indians owe us too? Where does it stop, two generations from now, ten? I take responsibility myself not my ancestors. Shouldn't everyone? Sorry, You pumped me up again, lets forget this census thing and get back to genealogy.
