The United Nations is once again sticking its unwanted nose into the affairs of American governance and history by suggesting that the United States should return some of the lands back to Native Americans in order to combat discrimination.
James Anaya, is a UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples and making leaps that giving land back with somehow improve poverty issues for the Indian people.

Let the UN and the Indians take it back.
Yes yes
Most of that land was stolen from the Indians by other Indians.
Great point, Jonathan!
You can start with the land that the useless U.N. is built on!
Those lands were not stolen, they were taken! That’s the way things happened through history.
Yeah, they’d neglected to build walls, big beautiful walls.
Karen, are you saying these idiotic things just to troll normal thinking people? Obviously you do not know history where peoples fought and gained and lost lands all the time. The Indians were the victims of their own ignorance and lack of preparedness.
Yup.
The Dutch bought NY from the Indians……Indians were squatters, they didn’t pay for the land,.They were.just here when a more advanced culture landed…
