Re-Native Americans, Luckily, both law and society have improved in the 200 years since the 1800's when Spain annexed Alta California.
I assume you think the forceful taking of native lands by the government was bad, so why do you think it is good to roll back the clock and justify doing it today?
There is an inherent contradiction here. It cant have been bad to do then, but good to do now.

- s1artibartfast 2y agoSomeone could make a slightly stronger case for giving it back to natives Maidu Indians (depending on the facts of acquisition), but they arent.
- fifilura 2y agoThis is what I meant. Or in this particular case, if the landowners are so stubborn that they can not even allow for a road crossing their land, they could at least hint at the idea?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoWho would hint at what idea?
- fifilura 2y agoSo the farmers does not want to give access to the land to the people. Maybe the government should remind them how they got their land in the first place?
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThe government should remind the farmers that last time someone resisted, the government exterminated them?
- fifilura 2y agoYou are right :) sounds like a pretty bad idea.
