[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that she arrived on the scene long after most of the damage had been inflicted, however,
How did she use her power and position to enact restorative justice?   [/quote]

1 As PP pointed out she has no power and no voice.

2 What would you have her do?  For whom?[/quote]

Write an article - find a way to smuggle it past her gatekeepers - about what should be returned to other nations, for example.  Antiquities come to mind.
Express sorrow and regret for all the people they murdered in the past maybe?[/quote]

Then they would remove her.  Your anger which is wrong is in any event misdirected.  Why should anything be returned?  It was obtained legally at the time.  When you see antiquities being returned today it is because they were obtained illegally.

UK and US fought two wars.  Yet they put that past behind them and moved on to be closest allies.  Does the UK want back property that colonists kept or took?  Does US want an apology for the killings of its people?  World does not work that way.  You put it behind you and move on or you not the other side are burdened by the past.  Ireland has largely done the same.  [/quote]
