They are more primarily European, but there are related entities all over the world, but not in the sense that the European faeries are.
As for them being in America, they are. Since we came over here in mass droves, they came with us. It is not to my knowledge how the native entities and spirits got along with this, though.
Elves appear in folklore and myths as small. In fact if you read the Old Norse texts you will discover that the Dökkálfar ''Dark Elves'' are synonymous with dwarfs. Furthermore most giants are also small, the name is a corruption and doesn't (always) relate to stature. MacRitchie (1893) covers this in one of his works, extract below:
Note how in most myths, giants are called dwarfs. Its because the word giant has a dual meaning, especially in early usage. It also means savage or a cave-dweller (nothing to do with huge size).But to assume them to have been of gigantic stature is both totally at variance with the bulk of the evidence regarding them, and at variance with the fact that the word "giant" has very frequently been used to denote a savage, or a cave-dweller. No more appropriate illustration of this can be found than the local tradition that a certain artificially hollowed rock in the island of Hoy, Orkney, was the abode of "a giant and his wife." Now, this same "giant" is also remembered as a "dwarf," and the largest cell in his dwelling is only 5 feet 8 inches long. Similarly, there is in Iceland a certain Tröllakyrkia (literally "the dwarfs' church") which is translated "the giants' church."
It has academic support, and has a lot of evidence. Furthermore its rational, instead you are proposing that fairies are spiritual or otherworldly entities which you claim you can see.This whole "Picts were pygmies" is ridiculoius. Sorry.
If you are really claiming to see fairies as balls of energy, light (ior whatever you propose) then you need to be put in a mental asylum. You are clearly ignorant of the origins of folklore and myth.

No, they weren't Dwarves were a whole different entity. But I'll let a person who's more well versed on Norse folklore explain that.
I don't know what legends you've been reading, but in Celtic folklore, giants were just that- giant.Note how in most myths, giants are called dwarfs. Its because the word giant has a dual meaning, especially in early usage. It also means savage or a cave-dweller (nothing to do with huge size).
It's funny that you actually believe that. Since your ethnicity says Pictish, I'm assuming you're a swarthy pygmyIt has academic support, and has a lot of evidence. Furthermore its rational, instead you are proposing that fairies are spiritual or otherworldly entities which you claim you can see.

Oh, so now you want to start flinging insults at people who believe in the otherworldly creatures when you have no proof that they don't exist? This shows that you have nothing to refute it with and are lowering yourself to insults to try and tear down someone else's argument.
