here somehow, if there even was such a thing that long ago. But even if they did, so what? By the time Europeans made it over here, they had no descendants left here, or if there were, they weren't white.

Were there actually white northern Europeans at the time the earliest people made it to this hemisphere? They don't even know that for sure. If some were with the first Eurasians that came here, if that's even where they really came from, I don't see how that gives modern day white people any kind of claim on anything. I thought that the whole time they were fighting over "Kennewick Man".
