Elouise Cobell Speaks

ong>

While I respect Ms. Cobell, how does $1,000 per person help lift an entire people out of poverty? If you are owed $137 billion, why not get it all?

I understand that 13 years is a long time to keep a lawsuit going, but, they were stealing land for 500 years!

Indians are easily screwed because their numbers are few. How do you thin they got to be so few? By systemic genocide, theft of land, and deprivation of culture. The same thing that is happening to Africans in the country today.

How much will we accept for reparations for 400 years of slavery, genocide, and dis-enfranchisement? Hopefully a lot more than a few billion dollars.
