If we look at where man might really have come from,ie evolving from ape-like creatures,I don't believe there were any of those indigenous to North America.So I would deduce that American Indians didn't drop out of the sky or pop up through the ground and thus all mankind in NH came from somewhere else.Do they teach this kind of thinking anywhere?
Beyond this I would guess being born in NH and nobody is around that was born in the part of NH that once was Mass.

I tend to agree which is why this is kind of silly.
There will always be someone claiming to have deeper roots from "here" than someone else so since there is no real starting point then "natives" have to deal with what they think is the problem.
My take is that if you make a place more attractive economically to live and work than surrounding areas then why would anyone be surprised when people from "away" move here, eventually becoming the majority and change the demographic and/or political makeup of "here"?
