Well, "native" can mean different things. Do these geniuses propose that what we now call "Native Americans" have always inhabited the Americas?

What point in time does one choose in order to declare a particular country's natives The Natives?

Do the English have to return land to the Welsh? (rhetorical).

Good queation, meanwhile where are we supposed to move to now that ‘the natives’ get their land back, or we have to pay them at today’s rates for the complete territory of the United States?

The U.N. has long since passed the point of no return. Will our leaders ever wake up?

Already discussed this today (before passage).

The time limit is 1492, and based only on Whitey Europeans incursions since then.

Noone else has ever pushed out/killed off any “race”, you see.

Just like no nation except the US has ever had slaves.

There are Native American (Indian) sights about this issue.

Here's the State Departments meaning of "native."

"Indigenous people generally are defined as the sector of the population descended from the original inhabitants of the region. Among the indigenous populations identified by the United Nations are the Indians of the Americas, the Inuit and Aleutians of the northernmost regions of the world, the Saami of northern Europe, the Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders of Australia and the Maori of New Zealand."
