That was my first thought. Do we just give it back to the tribe our ancestors "stole" it from? Or to the tribe that had it before them? What happens to people like good ol' Lizzie Warren who are both American Indian and white? Does she have to live here only half the year? Explain how this is going to work.CanyonAg77 said:

I tell you what. These people suggesting this should give up their homes to the American Indians to show us exactly how it needs to be done. They go first and set the example for the rest of us to follow.

How would this even work as a matter of logistics? Millions of people are uprooted from their homes? And exactly where do they go? ****ing stupid.
