Do you think white people's presence in the Americas is illegitimate? And what would Europeans think about us giving the land back to the First Nations and coming home?
"Going back" would include for me, that someone ever has been there. But someone who was born, raised, ... in the USA can hardly go "back" to Europe, when he never has been there. Its as if you would tell me to go "back" to France, because my mother was born there or tell children of foreign workers to go "back" into their parents country. They are at home, where they were born, just as the native american are there at home.
From my oppinion you should simply look forward to share the land, you all have inherited and whose sons and daughters you all are, in a just way and by doing so make peace with yourself. Be it with independent land, where the native americans can have their own law, or however. Sit down, listen to each other, and find a way.
