Stop Saying Give it Back to The Indians. They Live Better Now Anyway.

We gave some back. They turn it into casinos.

Who the fuck is saying that?

Your fucking idiot op.

The natives who lived in the Appalachian mountains were forcibly moved during the trail of tears.

Their reservation is not better than where they came from.

However the Navajo are on their ancestral land as well as some other tribes but to be fair there should be reservations on ancestral lands for all natives

Of course you can't give it back, it's not logical in this day and age. Just like you can't send blacks back to africa. You can't right the wrongs that were committed many many many generations ago, it's not possible.

I'm not a libtard, i'm an extreme conservative, but I do know what is right and what is wrong. What was done to the indians is wrong no matter how you want to spin it.

Mass genocide was commited against the indians back then, look up and read about the trail of tears and see what they went through. Horrific, vile and evil was done against them on a massive scale. And that is wrong........not only wrong, it was evil, pure evil.

This isn't taught in the schools, this isn't talked about in america. This has been swept under the rug like it never even happened because it's not nice, it's not happy and we don't want to talk about it. It's much nicer to talk about the pilgrims and the indians around a thanksgiving table and ignore the atrocities that happened.

No, it is not our fault, we didn't do it. None of us were alive then. But, it is our obligation to tell the truth even if the truth isn't nice.

I do not participate in thanksgiving for this reason...because to me, it's all a lie.

And no, they don't "live better now anyways".......that's a lie. They are suffering from very high levels of drug abuse, depression and alcoholism, more so than any other ethnic group in the usa....not to mention poverty too.

So please tell me exactly how great they have it?

What about my people that were displaced by the Indians?
Where is our lands?

Why? According to their belief nobody owns the land. Plus they weren't the first. Lastly.......NO

I did some work representing Native American tribes in the Indian Trust Settlement including Blackfeet, Sioux, Apache, Cherokee, Comanche, Aleuts, and got to know some on a personal level. They are a wonderful people for whom I have the utmost respect. To this day they are abused by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Many are abused by their own tribal councils. They deserve better. BTW, I'm a staunch hard-right Republican.

Same here Lisa.
Soon as i learned the truth, i too quit the thanksgiving scenario cuz i can't stand lies and that is all schooling was was being fed lies.
I'll spend the rest of my days and have for the last 15 yrs unlearning what the psychos taught me and if i could do it all over again i would have quit school in jr high when i could have!

Indian culture seems like something stuck in the 1800's.

They can't live that way any more even if we give them back everything west of the Mississippi.

Times are different and the nostalgia for the Indian culture is not doing the Indian of today justice. They have to function in the here and now.

The indigenous of the Americas are the chosen people and there is a movement underway to restore Indigenous wisdom and ways. Google 13 Indigenous grandmothers. Just one of many too come.

I believe they are one of the lost tribes of Israel.

There is genetic research that is trying to reach into man's earliest beginnings and the trail from Denisovan DNA shows that today the strongest populations are native Americans and Australian aboriginals.. a long way from europen royalty

Indians in Canada today wouldn't survive one single winter without white people.

True story.

You're a special kind of stupid, ain't ya?

Now that the black and blue haze of a general election cycle is wearing off perhaps the 300 or more indigenous from AROUND the world in ND is grabbing some well deserved attention

Why can't we give back Israel to the Caananites, Philistines and Jerichoistes?

Now you know why.

Frankly I'm fed up with the revisionist history crap...the bullshit story about the chicken pox blankets in particular. What happened is in the past. My great-grandmother was Cherokee. I don't expect a dime from the government.

We're in the 21st century. You can't go back. Move on.

idiotic post by an idiot who has no idea how american indians lived before OR now.

I agree they should not be so isolated instead they should be apart of our nation, they should have industry in their area as well as tourism and all other things that would make their peoples better off financially and structurally wise as well.
They darn sure need to be protected like any other state or area in our nation.

HAHAHA
Nope. You'd be embroiled in tribal conflicts.
Infant mortality would skyrocket.

Well, even the Indians say there were folks here before they were with red hair, and there were giants in those days. Maybe we should give it back to the giants?

Which Indians ? They all stole it from one another anyway.

History of the human race folks. Every nation has been built on someone else's back. The blacks, Asians, Indians, etc.. are as bad as everyone else.

I never believed that BS about how evil the white man is. Fact is, the entire human race is collectively fucked in the head.
