I do think we owe them something, but I'm not sure we can pay it if we want to. Same thing goes for the decendants of slavery here. I suppose an apology might be a good start, but then what? A number of our decendants we immigrants who did not participate directly in either slavery or the decimation of the American Indian, but we still benefit from a system that was built on their corpses while they enjoy second-class citizen status. What can we do now? Maybe honor our treaties?
