What can the Indian nations do to make up for the holocaust against settlers?
- ?Lv 78 years ago
I believe, after a fashion, we have tried. The first thing we need to do is acknowledge the TRUTH of our butchery from sea to shining sea. There is no reparation that is satisfactory. There can never be a just solution. Were we to throw all the gold in the universe at the feet of even ONE victim, could that really right the wrong? No, it could not. Then, how can we ever satisfy a debt of evil to an entire nation of victims?

This is the question that no US Government have ever asked.
I'm not Native American, I'm not even American nor do I represent the Native Americans, but I am going to give my opinion on what America must do to atone for her crimes against this people. First I must be clear that nothing they can do could ever be enough to make up for it totally, but it sure is about time some steps were taken in this direction and I'm going to base this on what the International Community have done for the Jews who also suffered a holocaust and also what the USA have done for them in the aftermath.
1) The single most important thing. Issue a formal and public apology to the Native Americans listing all of the crimes they are guilty of and recognising the tragedy suffered by these people at their hands
2) Turn over at least 2 of those 50 states back in to the hands of the Native Americans but continue to send money and aid as required.
3) Teach the children in all schools about the grave injustice served on the Natives so that they don't grow up ignorant and thinking that they were there first
4) Make a covenant with the Native Americans that NEVER AGAIN will they come to harm at the hands of the US Government and make them a priority over Israel
Isn't it funny how the United States of America feel it necessary to repair the damage done to the Jews at the hands of the Germans yet the holocaust that they themselves are responsible for they choose to ignore?
Yet people still refuse to believe that Zionists dominate the Government of the United States of America and her banking system.

We never attack the Indians they attack us, and they had a saying they were going to kill every white man on earth,
They attack the Mayflower before the white man every got off,
You wouldn't wont to hear what they did to the first white people that came into the area where I live,
the history is frighting,
I am married to an Indian lived with her for 55 years, I love the Indians, but not the thing they believed when the white man came here.

Nothing. The Indians lost fair and square in the fight for America. They tried to fight but they were so backward they were destined to lose. Why try to resurrect a failed society? It would just fail all over again. Why did the Indians not build some sailing ships and sail to Europe and colonize it for themselves? Do the lions and wolves apologize to the kin of those they had eaten alive? Ridiculous.

Powers of the world have been slaughtering each other for centuries untold and now you want someone to take responsibility? How naive.

I wonder what the people here would do now {if the Indian's took back] what we stole from them.?? I am Irish & Indian what we did is the crime of all crimes, to kill them because they didn't want us to steal every thing from them.

Whoa. It sounds cold, but can you compare 6 million dead Jewish people to how many dead Native Americans?
Ad the Natives here often gave as good as they got.
Like African-Americans, the days of retribution on long past...you are looking at 6th, 7th, 8th generations. Give me a break.
