EDIT- To the people that are starring the post where I might get the "Worst Post Award". Don't be a coward. Tell me why you believe I am wrong and lay out your points. I am interested to read them. Don't be scared.

The deal is, they didn't kill them, or defeat them. They signed treaties with them.
We hinge law on treaties that go back 700 years. But it would appear that we only pay attention to the treaties which are convenient.

I got your point in that post (and I am one of those that feel that the Iroquois should at least have historical recognition with regard to the U.S. cheating them when it came to treaties), but apparently there are those that simply didn't. I wouldn't expect a plethora of responses to your challenge, though.

I think that is a good attitude to have, working for yourself. It would be great for all people to take on the same mentality especially those from hard circumstances because they'll need it.
But, I do think there has to be some widespread acknowledgement at some point that our history had a lot of victims and never should be repeated. Settling debts, I'm not so sure about. But I think the conversation at least brings awareness on the debts that exist and the tilted structure of our world that is built on part from ruthless conquest.
