Well then, just give them a participation trophy. That should settle them down.

Wars really do never end.

Which is why God told the Israelites to effectively eliminate their enemies. He knew the descendants would always create problems.

Yes, the property deed did as much to eliminate the Indians as disease and technology. Just as a thought experiment, though, wonder if the Indians could have hired an attorney back in the 1700s to argue for them that the lands, say, west of the Allegeny’s or the Ohio River valley were theirs by tradition, basically a property claim “hallowed by usage and consecrated by time.” They could point to their burial grounds for proof of their long-term occupancy. Probably no colonial court would come down on their side though.

Illegals will be wanting “reparations” next. After all, we kicked their asses out of the United States. Congratulations! You opened the MOTHER OF ALL CANS OF WORMS. LOL! Elections do have consequences. You should never fill out banana ballots with your head up your...

Sure, but who did they take it from?

Who Knows?

In the early 1700's, the Cheyenne took the Black Hills from the Kiowa.

In 1776 the Lakota Sioux defeated the Cheyenne in war and took the Black Hills from them.

About 100 years later the US did the same to the Sioux.

Why does the first conquest confer legitimate title and the second doesn’t?

No problem!

Just pay for the improvements made to the land in the centuries since.

After all, what were they using it for?

How about “NO”…

Land was not “stolen”
Your grandpa got his butt whupped and had to move on.
It happens throughout history.
I laugh when people cry about “stolen land”.
When someone try’s to steal “your” land, you fight for it.
You might lose….just saying.
This is the opinion of a landowner.

True! Almost every tribe took their hunting grounds from other tribes who were weaker than that tribe.

Here is proof they don’t want you to see. And this is just my short list! Read it quick as I have noticed many of my older links now go to “404 page not found.” The scurbbing of American History has begun.

Indians were nomadic. So they could literally claim the North American continent for that reason alone. They should be thankful that the English got to them first.

Your comment has absolutely NOTHING to do with what I am pointing out. Educate yourself on what happened in this disgraceful episode.

Considering the fact that most American universities have become indoctrination camps, I can do with more casinos.

Dude, all throughout time there have been what we call dispicable acts today. Given that they filled a graveyard the ring of vice perpetrated on innocent children by innocent and pure priests must have been wide. So, they had to bury the truth and hide from their sins.

Still to this day the tribalists do not want to assimilate.
Just like the Africans in America.

If you want to champion a cause, pick on pedophilia.
Pedophilia in the Islamic world. Mohammed had Ayesha, she was six when he married her, nine when he deflowered her. He was 54 or thereabouts. Now, all throughout the Islamic world, for all 1.8 billion, child brides are condoned. Every Islamic nation legalized pedophilia.

Islam too is tribal based. All food for thought about oppression and supremacy.

1. No human is “native” to anywhere on earth outside the Garden of Eden or Africa’s Great Rift Valley [pick one]. Ergo there are NO NATIVE AMERICANS.

2. Except possibly for some tribes in the Great Northwest, none of the present-day American Indian tribes were the original Asian settlers of the lands they now live on. Virtually all of them live on lands that were captured and re-captured in warfare time and again, four or five or ten times before the modern Indian settlers took possesion of them.

“Indians are picking the low-hanging fruit.”

Well, they are supposed to be adept at living off the land....
