Who did the Indians get it from? When did ownership start? Did they take it from someone? Buy it? What if they wiped out an ethnic group prior to Euros coming over? Human history is full of people gaining land and losing it - happened in Germany, France, England - why not here?
It's done - move on. Tear up the treaties, end the corruption, neglect, abuse, poverty and bigotry. Assimilate.
