- Sorry, but all accounts of the discovery of the Americus by Europeans describe
- nude natives. That was 500 years ago. The natives had been around for a long
- time before that and it can be assumed they were nude all that time. I am
- sure (but admittedly can not support the argument) that nudism was a natural
- way of life long before biblical tradition.
