Even though it would be fair and ideal, in the real world life isn't fair. What would it take to make amends with these broken people? In order to repair what America destroyed, how much is enough? Just look at the African Americans, reparations didn't change their trajectory much because throwing money or land does very little against several generations of suppression and hate.
It's sad, but this country, especially in the current global economy which its state affects so easily, can't afford to do what's right with the Native Americans. I'm neither racist nor apathetic to either Native Americans or African Americans, but I am a realist and don't see our country even pondering something like this when we're scratching ourselves out of a seemingly bottomless ditch of debt.
