That doesn't mean everyone living on stolen land gets a pass just because they weren't the ones to steal it. They have an obligation to make it right.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just sayin' but there are still several native tribes still existing across the Americas. We can talk to them.
