But you and I did NOT. I see a lot of people online who can't make the distinction.

EDIT: Thanks for replies, all. Some good conversation here

That doesn't mean everyone living on stolen land gets a pass just because they weren't the ones to steal it. They have an obligation to make it right.

My town just voted to give some land back to native American descendants by buying it from the current owners.

You don't have to listen to the dead, have you? Just sayin'

Just sayin' but there are still several native tribes still existing across the Americas. We can talk to them.

Both sides must come to an agreement that both agree to, without coercion by sword. All involved.
