I'm not posting where I live now, but I grew up on land that was in the mid 1600's from the Marsapeque, Matinecoc, and Sacatogue tribes. The guy who bought the land paid what would now amount to about $38,000 .

So, not stolen?

My neighbor's grandmother paid $5,000 for their house in 1928. They still live there (grandchildren). They stole it from the Donahue family.

I mean, guess not? I dunno - this is what Google told me. For all I know, the land was worth a lot more and the Native Americans who were paid for the land got ripped off and just had no idea.

Okay, I’ll give them back the land, but I get to keep all the improvements my family and I made.

Sorry, but that doesn’t matter. If you unwittingly buy something stolen, you still have to give it back to original owner and if you knew it was stolen, you go to jail. That’s the way it works…

We all should go to jail and the Western Hemisphere can return to the great utopia it was before evil Colombo crossed the Atlantic.

Time to put the bottle down.

Who specifically would get this land, like which particular person? Are you hiring attorneys to do your paperwork?

Would those people even want it? Have you spoken with them and asked what they want?

This process would not be as simple or easy as you seem to think.

Well, obviously it should go to the respective tribal leaders who have done such an amazing job of sharing their casino wealth with the rest of the tribe.

Weren’t some tribes nomadic? How do you determine what exactly is their land? Where would the boundaries be?

OP how would you survey this? How would you determine the $$ they’re owed?
