Hey, guys

Use "a native of" when you're talking about where a person was born, for example: I am a native of Detroit.

Use "native to" when you're talking about a category, characteristic, or species, for example: Tigers are native to India. (I have no idea if that is factually correct, btw. :) )
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
