Has America fully repaid Native Americans for their mistreatment?

I'm doing this for a school project and I need your opinions.





- Do you think America has fully repaid the Native Americans?


- Why or why not?


- Do you think America can ever fully repay the Lakota for the massacre at Wounded Knee?|||How would America repay us for anything? Why do you people think it was a long time ago? It was not so long ago. In my lifetime, the govt was still conducting forced sterilization of NDN people. The boarding schools that took away our children to grow up away from their families in a hostile environment were still open. US govt termination of NDN tribes was in full swing, lands were still being confiscated. You people who answered that casinos were given to us are wrong. Our peoples who have casinos paid for them. They were not gifts from the govt. Investment companies loaned the money for construction at high interest and the tribes turn over control of the properties until the debt is paid. How do you pay for the destruction of 90-95% of our gene pool? How do you reimburse for the systematic destruction of culture and language and traditions that we have endured from America? No, there has been and will be no repayment. Not for the knee, or anything else.|||No we haven't; only a few tribes have casinos, and very few of them actually give out percapita. We pay the same taxes, Federal, Sales, and Income. Per capita, more of us serve in the Military than any other ethnic group.





For instance, I'm a Navajo, we don't get any free checks at all, neither do the Hopi our neighbors, or the White Mountain Apache.





We do it all on our own, been like that for decades. The Federals didn't give us schools, so we built our own, they didn't give us hospitals, so once again we made our own.





Just how things are friend, look at all these ignorant comments; they don't give a damn about us.|||Their making billions with all the casinos.





A statue carved in rock of "Sitting Bull" that's bigger then Mount Rushmore has been being worked on for the last 60 years.








This American owes no one. I did nothing wrong to the so called....Native Americans.

when they give their land back and reimbursed for their pain and suffering, then there will be pathways made to forgive, but they can never be paid back, the debt is eternal.








Then I guess this is the case for the whole ******* world since all races and cultures throughout human history have invaded, and have been invaded and conquered by someone.|||Did Spain repay Mexico? Did the all the European countries repay all the people they conquered? What about Rome? We owe the native american nothing. It was a long time ago, they were conquered and that is it. Move on.|||It's more complicated than that. Although the US definitely treated many of these peoples very badly, there was also a lot done on the other side.





Regardless if they can be fully repaid, there may always be bad blood on both sides.|||The government has not honored the contracts we made with the tribes so no. The U.S. government has a poor history of honoring agreements which is why I believe people who think the government should have more power are not very smart.|||No, but just like slavery, all of those indians that were effected by our cruel government are dead. Can my wife sue the Germans for forcing her grandfather into a WWII death camp? No.|||when they give their land back and reimbursed for their pain and suffering, then there will be pathways made to forgive, but they can never be paid back, the debt is eternal.|||America is full of Foreigners - we all came from other countries in the early 1900s. How does that make us responsible. The leftist Ideology is so stupid!





And all those people from back then are dead.





Like the FIRST INDIAN American conservative that won a seat in congress! FIRST WOMEN INDIAN!


Why didn't the left have any Indians, Cubians or Latinos for congress and senate like the right did? Is the left that racist?|||Yes they have. They get free college and all sort of free things. Plus they open all the casinos and make millions.





So get over it!|||Every nation on earth was founded on war and conquest in one way or another. What's done is done. It's time to move on.|||My ex wife used to repay them all the time at Foxwoods Casino|||They gave them p diddy and tv dinners that is more than enough eh.|||Yes.





Casinos|||Yes ten fold by their casinos|||Were they in the country legally? I think not... They don't deserve crap from us hard working conservative American Tea Partying tax payers|||They are all dead.
