Good afternoon, hailing from the DMV (D.C. area) and this is my very first post on this site. Anyhow I'm a biracial woman of African-American and European heritage, with the European heritage being heavily Irish, from the areas of Counties Antrim, Leitrim and Waterford, thus I'm greatly interested in Irish history and culture. but have read so many varying accounts of where the Irish actually come from, some saying we're related to the Vikings, some saying we're originally from the Middle East, some saying we're related to the Spanish and/or French, some saying we're from Central Europe and some saying we're related to the Scottish. I always thought that the Irish were an Indigenous people, and if I'm not mistaken, the Gaelic language that the Irish speak is an indigenous language to that region of the world, so what's the real deal on us, are we actually indigenous or are we actually settlers after a previous culture?
