“ask the native American tribes”
That was one of the examples I had in mind. Some are broken for wrong reasons.
No treaty trumps the Constitution or the sovreignty of the U.S.
an 'inconvenient truth' is that, by US law, the Native Americans still legally own a great deal of land = especially in the mid-west. They may yet, one day, "inherit the land" - 'Manifest Destiny" = dastardly excuse for murder and mayhem to grab what is not yours.
