Who thinks we should give this land back to the Native Americans who owned it first?

I learned that Native Americans who lived on reservations in Maine were not allowed to vote until 1954.
It was "left up to the states," apparently. Why would they be allowed to vote?
Reservations exist outside of the United States... a nation within a nation. They have their own government and police, and aren't subject to US laws, so why would they have a say in US elections?
That would be like us voting in Canadian elections.

The late humorous Will Rogers once said he as prouder of nothing more than his Native American ancestry. He said the original treaties said This land will be yours and your people as long as the grass grows and water flows your people can live here "!! But we need that water. There's gold in them there hills and on and on it went. He said check out any reservation now ? The grass won't grow and very little if any water but the white man has no use for it ?

Find one treaty ratified with native Americans that our great nation didn't break.

The early Europeans did no worse in North America than the imperialistic Europeans were doing in the rest of the world. The difference was the hypocrisy of the North Americans and their descendants. Pointing their finger at the other colonial powers while proudly proclaiming "we're the land of the free" while depriving the Indians of both their lands and freedom.

The thing is red doesn't own anything to "give back". It's just an ignorant commie stooge that thinks it will get to move to the front of the line when "The Change" happens. That is the only time it is ever right, but it is not going to like the line it is in! That line ends at a pockmarked wall...

Unpopular opinion, but... we didn't steal anything. We invaded and conquered. Or "liberated," if you prefer the watered down term that means the same thing.
Historically, it's very rare that a conquering nation lets the conquered people keep land and make their own laws.
And really, it's not fair to believe that the Natives were any better. Tribes regularly went to war with one another and enslaved conquered tribes...
All people suck equally, regardless of their race

It seems that the White folks that stole it really messed it up for everybody.
