This question was brought up in one of my school history books, and I wanted to know what you all think.

I think they should. Native tribes were here first, and we kinda just... shoved them aside. They deserve to have land to live just as much as we do. Besides, it was theirs in the first place.

exactly. i mean, they have reservations but they almost never include sites or areas that are important to the respective tribes, just whatever nearby land the us found expendable. the best way the us can apologize for past mistakes is to give back natives their land, making sure that it includes all the proper areas, and forget about their "not my problem" mindset for once.


⁴ Bella ⁸¹ I agree native tribes should get some land back. But if you think about it, most places are now urbanised. They may not get that much back

✰ g i g i - jisung season ✰ (jisqngzzno1) | 440 comments Hi! Native Sioux and Choctaw here <3
Over 80 percent of our land has been taken, and honestly, we don't appreciate it. I'd like our land to not be reservations, I'd like our land to be de-urbanized, so we can live like the tribes of old, it's just rude the prices of products in reservations too...

yes. I'm done with people living on land that was taken by people who didn't understand the importance of it.
