Of course. This highly unlikely scenario would transfer the rights to
farmland, woodlands and fishing grounds back to people who, on the
whole, would be better stewards of natural resources. As things stand
today, these are mostly in the hands of corporate concerns, with fresh
water quickly being monopolized by same. I have almost no confidence in
government today, and would welcome any such change, even if it marked
only a transitional period toward greater respect for our only home.
Realistically, I doubt that there can be any compromise, excepting such
return, that would restore the well being of Native people. Government
schemes haven't worked because they are merely designed to distract from
the countless injustices of dis-inheritance. They can't solve a problem
if they never admit to the cause of its inception, nor can they continue
to hope for positive results from programmes devised as compensating
bribes. They need their land for their healing. And we need to give it
back to them for our own healing.

Do you realize that this includes MOST of North and South America?
