It has nothing to do with me supporting those actions two centuries ago. I'm just describing history. Were the same tribes in charge of the same land for the past 10000 years, or did borders fluctuate depending on intertribal wars for resources? Acting like the Iroquois and Algonquins (or substitute any other aboriginal tribes with adjacent borders, for that matter) didn't spend hundreds of years slaughtering each other for territory before they were both deposed by the European invaders is a little naive. So who, precisely, is supposed to get the "stolen" land back? EDIT: just to be clear, I'm not advocating that first nation's are not due compensation or allowances for the loss of their lands, nor that slavery must be swept under a rug. On the contrary, we must look for the root causes of social unrest/upheaval and meet them head on. But you're not providing any practical courses of action that should be undertaken.
