It isn't about reparations Katmeluv. It isn't about giving back anything and it isn't about who stole what in the first place.

What I am saying is "Don't take any more".

You are right Kat when you say "What of all the people and families of all races who would be effected by this, negatively or positively in the here and now?" It would certainly have a negative effect on some of us if we are not allowed to steal more of these resources. Stealing often has a positive effect on the thief. That doesn't make it right.

Jack, Just 'cos you didn't steal anything, doesn't give anyone else the right to keep stealing.

It has nothing to do with our constitution or our declaration of independence or our bill of rights. It is about how much more of the land are we going to take.

Rap, you say "Find some jobs to help end the 40%+ unemployment rates on most rez" Perhaps those resources would help to do that. For us to steal more of them certainly won't help.
