What About The White Indians from Panama?

From the scrapbooks of James Churchward, ‘proof’ of the remaining white people driven from Central America by the Mongols.

In 1924, news reached the United States under the title, “Blond Indians reach Colon” of “three specimens of the so-called “white Indians” and six others of the regular copper hue” on their way to the US to be examined by the Smithsonian Institution with the American explorer Richard O. Marsh.


A few days later, the media releases the news that they are on their way.

There is another long article on the subject in the scrapbooks, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that maybe these children are not the descendants of the ‘Moundbuilders’ or the pure white ‘Mayans’ that built the monuments in the Americas as described in Synopsis of the Earliest History of Central America and Yucatan and other literature. I was surprised to find so many references to Marsh’s book “White Indians of Darien,” and blog postings supporting illogical theories about the genealogical background of the Guna people.

If the Guna people didn’t have a high rate of albinism (a fact rarely mentioned in these blog postings,) or the possibility of intermarriage with European settlers (another ignored point,) then maybe it might deserve further study.
On the other hand, unscrupulous folks are known by their words and actions.
