After 200+ years, it's a little too late to be talking about giving the Indians all their land back. I'm sure you wouldn't feel that way if the land that you paid a great deal of money for, was suddenly taken away from you, especially if it was for something that happened over 200 years ago.

You have a valid point - however, since the State of New Yrk ILLEGALLY attained the land, they should be forced to compensate anyone that wuld lose property... of course, the way states are, WE pay for their mistakes, because they'd raise taxes to cover it instead of cutting useless wasteful programs... ;0)

I don't advocate forced removal of people from land they own, BTW, so don't get me wrong - I just think the State screwed up and both sides are paying for it...
