Neil Gorsuch is usually good but he's squishy when it comes to Native Americans. The Americans came and conquered the land. Might is right. As simple as that. It's done with. We are giving Native Americans their casinos and some exemptions from taxes so they can sell tobacco for cheap. That should be about it.

One more Justice, we'll have the Supreme Court give all the land back to the Native Americans. You can't do that lol.

I feel much the same. This article is about Navajo and I, admittedly, don't know much about their history. In Alabama when a friend who has some Cherokee in him says, "You whites stole our land from us" he already knows my reply is going to be, "That's right. We stole land that you Cherokee stole fair and square from the Muskogee." LOL

Sometimes I remind him that he's speaking to a member of a displaced people. The first time I said it he said, "Huh?" So I pointed out that the Germanic Anglo and Saxon tribes were displaced from modern day Germany two cooling periods ago (Dark Age) when the Huns displaced other Germanic tribes (Goths) and forced them into modern day Germany (which displaced the Anglos, forcing them north into Denmark). Some say the second Anglo move shortly after that into Britannia was also a displacement after the Huns moved into Denmark, but I haven't seen enough evidence to make up my mind on that part.

The point being that pretty much every race has been both the oppressor and the oppressed.
