The Red Paint People were Native American people that were once believed to have crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Europe.

I saw the mention in 6th millennium BC regarding these people, and was intrigued. Someone else came along real quick & removed the tidbit about the trans-Atlantic theory that seems to accompany these people. However, the person had made the change as I was reading references that asserted that the idea has indeed been debunked. I felt it appropriate to register them as "Pre-Columbian" and invite anyone knowledgeable to deal with Maritime Archaic. User:Cwolfsheep 04:32, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
