Sure… downstream of a genocide. I’m not saying the rights aren’t complicated or they aren’t casino operators. I’m saying both of those are a direct consequence of genocide.

No, it’s really not. Did the boarding schools not exist? Did the reservation I was born in not exist? Did the one that I grew up next to with suicide rates 2x any nearby district not exist? Are the migrating megafauna still roaming or are they extinct or so close to extinction they must be protected? Are the rivers still flowing or have they been dammed?
