Unfair is unfair.
Your words. Was it fair to to confiscate their lands,destroy their culture and at one time the US Government paid bounties for murdering Indians. What does the Bible say about that? Also the sovereignty of Indian lands was agreed by Congress and treaty, so now you wish to dissolve that? There are many more divisive projects going on in the US now that are far more serious and costly. But the Indians make a pretty good target to some.

It was unfair that Eve got tempted with the devil, how far back would you like to go?

Indians have land now in the form of reservations. But certainly you can see that that doesn't mean they should also now ignore every law that you and I obey. If we go with your line of thought, then in another 200 years families of American businessmen and women will be able to claim destruction and confiscation of THEIR property and also want "reparations." THEY will need special prividges for the "wrongs" done to them by unfair Indian preferences. Wrong is wrong.

Sometimes you have to wipe the slate clean and move on for the good of all. again, a new unfairness doesn't make things better. This is two hundred + years later, Bob. Let's move on from the hurt of hundreds of years ago. Or would you also agree to pay "repartions" to blacks in America as well?
