sometimes it's better to stop looking back and to start looking forward, you need to get over the past to do that. Plenty of people have gone through the same thing and moved on - pushed forward.

Your standard of living, your house, job, lifestyle is all totally based on what happened 100 years ago, as is mine and I've only been here 25 years.
I don't disagree that to some extent natives do need to move on to get better but that doesn't alter the fact we benefit from a land that was taken from natives and the only way to claim its none of our business is to bugger off back to where ever our fore fathers came from.
