As part Cherokee, i would say, ask, no. Whats done is done. Leave it in the past. No amount of money or privileges will change that. Those things are for the guilty, not the victims. Nothing we can do today will restore the native american people. Just let us/them be who we are without bias or prejudice. We are strong and must adapt, just like the Mexicans, the Blacks, the Chinese/Asians, the Europeans, the Jews, the Christians, on and on and on. Respect others who you meet, learn about them. Or continue to be eval to others and suffer the consequences.. i still know how to hunt and have better weapons now.. : )
