If the Indians or the UN want it back or to have any kind of say in the matter...They are going to have to take it by force from us first.
...and I am ready anytime you want to try it!

Lone Watie: We thought about it for a long time, "Endeavor to persevere." And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union.

I have been interested in archaeology and anthropology for over 25 years and I am unaware Homo Erectus ever lived in North America.

The UN charter says that the purpose of the organization is to prevent wars BETWEEN nations. They are not to interfere in internal affairs. This twerp has NO right to condemn America at all.
Moreover, just about every large nation has an issue with what to do with indigenous people who once owned land that a majority took over.
It isn't just America or Canada. There are little tribes all over the planet that are dealing with how to keep their land and culture.
Plus, early American Indians were stone age hunters and warriors who were often constantly at war with each other, killing and torturing their enemies. These tribes often destroyed neighboring groups to take over THEIR land.
It wasn't romantic "Dancing with Wolves" kind of life.
If this UN Bureaucrat had lived then he would probably be the first one scalped.

Sure.
Why not?
Just a bunch of old white guys.
Who cares?
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Absolutely not. Never.
I do fear, however, that our Dear Leader will bow and scrape his way into submission. Sadly, it wouldn’t surprise me.

Speaking for myself and almost every American I know, or have ever known : SCREW THE UN .LOL!! What you said. :)

Native Americans?
Don’t most all of us, like the Blue-eyed Squaw from Massachusetts, have a little Indian blood in us?

Whos with me?”

“Why would he be allowed in the US for such a mission?”
He probably lives here. His mission has nothing to do with Indian sensibilities and evertything to do with to do with ceding everything around us to the UN who are already riding heard on our own government agencies like the EPA. These busybodies plan to hang around around to pilot spaceship earth after they use the rest of us for fertilizer (These stewards of the environment will probably be eaten by rodents before they even learn to make a campfire).
Anyway, there are a few references to UN Agenda 21 on this thread. Click on the link on Post 11 to get an idea what they’re up to.

What about Americans? Don’t we have any “sacred land”? I mean, what could be more “sacred” to Americans than Mt. Rushmore?

Come on, UN. Try to enforce it. Be sure to wear to wear those blue UN helmets. They'll blend in with the Western landscape.

As a compromise solution the faces on Mt. Rushmore will be reshaped into the faces of Native American heroes according to anonymous sources.
