Well, not in some of the same ways that native American aboriginal tribes often brutally dispossessed each other. Though in the way that possessing the means and methods they would've likely and similarly conquered Western Europe, I guess so. Except that I believe that history has meaning. And that the divinely desired state is for history to move forward to the One God of moral and spiritual redemption. Thus, the ways it has played, and is still playing out. Though in some similar way of the Great Spirit, that some American aboriginal descendent might claim ownership of my land too, based on some arcane claim to "sovereignty", well...I guess he could try it.

But I wouldn't recommend its "healing" qualities.

You're wasting your energy on Onedoug. To people like him there is no such thing as theft from Indians, it is called emanate domain and white people have been using it for centuries and in fact it is still working today.

Ive been keeping track of the water,farmer,indian problem up by Klamath Falls Oregon. The farmers were promised land and water forever from the U.S. Gov. and now the Gov. is reneging on the promise. I feel for the farmers but can't help thinking : now white men can see what it feels like when a government flat out lies to you.

There are a certain amount of people (quite a lot actually)that feel the same as Onedoug, believe me I am Indian and see it all the time. Unless they are of Indian blood and been personally screwed, they have no heart for it. Let them get the shaft and then listen to the squealing.
