Why It’s Time To Give Native Americans Their Land Back
Vložit

- For some reason, Oct. 12th is still Columbus Day in a lot of the United States. Fortunately, more and more cities and states are adopting that day as Indigenous Peoples Day - a nice rebuke to a day used to commemorate someone who not only didn’t “discover” the United States, but also enacted genocide against entire peoples living in the Americas. But this acknowledgement of Indigenous people, past and present, doesn’t do enough to reconcile the atrocities the United States has committed against them. What about giving them their land back? Sounds a little radical, but it’s possible - and it’s slowly happening. But what does land reclamation look like, and what does it really mean? Sana hears from several activists to inform her take on the fight to get #LandBack into Indigenous hands.

We are Acknowledged, but not respected First Nations. My Tribe only owns 1% of the land that was give to us in a treaty. We had to buy it back.
All Races are just a mix bag of genes- thats called "Human Race" some are taller some r shorter some fatter some skinnier some smarter some dumber some bigger eyes some slanted eyes some whiter some darker -see it for what it is - just a mixed bag of genes.
Why should any mixed bag of genes have forever rights to any geographic location-
This is ONLY true in the eyes of Prejudiced people who think how they look rather than how they act is the defining factor of their importance..
Consider how you act and what you do when its of benefit to the rest of humanity to the rest of the plant and to other animal species of the world 🌎.
Some will spend their entire Lives trying to make the "Mixed Bags of Genes" a "Thing" when its not its just - Hmm, Maybe You should get over yourself your just not that important.

@@AlecBrady
I see color and shapes and sizes and languages so what- we are sll a mix of all those things
Maybe you need to understand Genetics 101 and Phenotypic and genotype traits and genes & how the mixing shows and doesn't show snd also is present in shades of gray
@@stressfree9780 We are not an extinct species of people that once lived here thousands of years ago. They were thriving communities of over a hundred million natives after 1900 50 million were gone forever through disease and genocide. All we are asking is for the the things that were granted to our ancestors. I think what pisses off America the most is that we are still alive after 500 years we are still alive. We may forgive but we will never let you forget. The price are ancestors paid for us to keep fighting for our land

Ok so give up your home then to the native Americans..
@@supremelyeducated3273 America’s debt to gdp ratio is well within normal. 22 trillion is a huge number, but relative to size of the economy, it shrinks to a reasonable 108%. Compare this with Japan’s 2:1 debt:gdp figures.

Hi Sana, regarding your final comments about the supreme court decision surrounding Eastern Oklahoma native land earlier this year (and based on your article, if one example of what land reclamation looks like includes the rights of native decision making power over reclaimed lands), will you investigate the activities of the office of Oklahoma state Gov. Kevin Stitt and their aspirations for state jurisdiction over environmental regulations on the same lands the supreme court ruled on?
Yeah, I'm in Eastern Oklahoma, and I'm not going anywhere. Lol good luck relocating thousands of wh*te people. Where are they going to move them all? Tulsa? Unless they plan on taking that massive city too. 😂
It's nit gonna happen. You have ti assimilate with the population or you are stuck in a failing reservation. Its nit good for your children or your future if you remain in the reservations. This isn't the 1800s anymore so you can move about.
Imagine if natives owned canada an america these days
You can’t. You don’t know anything about natives except Apocalyptica and two paragraphs from history class, if that
It will be a lot better
Folks like to forget we stole the land from the natives. Folks left their country to live a different life but somehow now we want to pick and choose who can do that.
Folks like to forget this land wasn't stolen it was conquered just like every piece of land today
@ThirdEyeOpen Shinhan nice. How do you plan on doing that?
@ThirdEyeOpen Shinhan arrows? At least level the playing field and get some guns 😂
That happened 400+ years ago get over it.
I’m sorry but don’t forget they burnt off the noses of young children.
The difference between Mexico and the US & Canada is that majority of Mexicans are Mestizos, having both Indigenous and European ancestry. The problem is that most who are in power or have the most money are White and/or Foreign descendants Mexicans. And because of their influences, many Mexicans, subconsciously, have prejudices toward darker Mexicans, even amongst the darker people. You can see this on an economic level, showing southern states (indigenous majority) poorer than the northern states (white majority).
Most economic leaders in latinamerica are jews and palestinians.
Foreigners do better 😂
That’s due to topography,the south is mountainous,the north is not. And the USA border certainly has something to do with that
Every community has it's unique challenges. Wishing the Indigenous people the power to decolonize in their own unique and specific ways.

It's not their land if you get conquered it's not your land i can't believe i have to explain this to you
@@tonio7848, it is not true conquest if only 48 out of over 500 tribes went to war with the U. S. And to give you the benefit of the doubt the "just war" legal Doctrine prohibited the replacement of one sovereign people for another. Many people even legal scholars ignore and suppress the fact that the "just war" Doctrine was active until mid-19th century and that the U. N. would replace it with its charter and Vienna Convention.
@@waltermorales3084 i understand what your saying but its not the Europeans fought that only 48 tribes went to war. And that is just how is was during that time if you weren't good enough to defend yourselves you where going to get conquered
@@tonio7848, no that is not the way it works specially when there were conquest laws like the "just war" Doctrine and the "Right of Conquest" that prohibited European people including the colonies from replacing one sovereign people with another.
And the historic record shows that about 90% of tribes did not go to war with the U. S.. What part of that did you not understand?
@@waltermorales3084 you know what your right but this is how i see i don't give af thats the Europeans broke the laws if the native American want there land back come get it back if not quit crying about it
This is happening in Canada too. Our Truth and Reconciliation council has put 94 calls to action to pay pack for the horrible treatment of the Indigenous peoples since the start of the Residential School system. Unfortunately resettling millions of people is hard but if I could I would give back “my land” to the people who were here first. This is common sense
They said you dont have to leave but you should give the power of the land back over to them. They make the rules and we will have to live naturally like they want.
I think that natives should have more control like how Quebec basically governs itself
ya they discuss Canada it’s good
'Anglos caused most of the world's problems' (David Cameron, British Prime Minister, 2010-2016).
Anglo caused centuries-long notorious global -

- World War II, and the list goes on.
Besides, among the five main Anglo nations; Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all but Britain is looted from others.
Speaking of Canada, how come Canada, a most harmonious nation with a mere 37 million population, is the largest trading partner of the USA, which has 340 millions?
Main exports of Canada, the second largest land nation on earth, are land-based natural mineral resources. Less than half a million indigenous Native Canadian people remain the most marginalized and poorest racial and ethnic group in their own beloved motherland.

This video still doesn't actually define what 'land back' actually implies. "We need to be able to take control of our communities". "We need to abolish the military industrial complex". Okay...so do you want to be granted control over major governmental institutions? Do you want a form of territorial sovereignty over the vast swathes of now settler inhabited areas? I still don't know what 'giving them their land back' means from this video.
@@ChuChuBelo So it's a useless term
Well said. But bare in mind this video is a think-piece, and certainly not looking for real-world, applicable answers. But very well said indeed. My hat’s off to you today, sir. Thank you for commenting.
land back means what it means. it is not "interpretable" or a metaphor. it means GIVE BACK OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND. it's simple. whites and other non-black non-hispanic settlers get out of government positions. the natives should decide if the US continues or not. they should get to decide what happens. it is not "useless" just because you do not understand it, white dude
@@balkanwitch5747 yeah but like, that will never happen? That would be a basically authoritarian policy that the majority of the population would violent reject. You would literally deport and disenfranchise all whites and Asians? And why would blacks and Hispanics not be characterized as settlers as well? Especially when a lot of Hispanics are themselves the descendants of Spanish/European settlers? You’re talking about a political unreality.
We cant give up our military ever especially during this time. This is a stupid idea. If you want to take control of land then take the Natinal parks. One tribe is doing great because the bought and oil field and banked on that ownership of pumping there own cruid oil.
The real American native Indian lives in American prisons. Remember that
EXACTLY !!! They put you there family so you wouldn't be able to fight for our land. The majority of them are $5 indians. People don't realize it, SAD😭
Proud to be Lakota!!! Seriously Pine Ridge on this vlog...Thanks for this post...
We had gotten to the point where the vast majority of Americans respected and admired Native American culture. This is going to cause a big backlash if it continues. You are NOT going to get all your land back from 500 years ago, because 300 million plus Americans have nowhere else to go. Maybe these vandals should consider the fact that most of tribal members also have European and African ancestry. There are very few "pure bloods" left. You might as well hate yourselves.
@@robinlillian9471 Yup a lot of "natives" have a lot of European and African blood flowing through them. I'm sick and tired of how Indians have been romanticized. There was a lot of tribal and ritual warfare between them.
@@NeTxGrl exactly. Just because Europeans did the most damage, everyone else all of a sudden were innocent angels filled with nothing but love.
@@NeTxGrl Europe had the most advanced weaponry, war tactics, and methods of travel at that time. If any other cultures had access to that kind of stuff when nobody else did, they would have done the same damn thing.

Land has been fought for since the beginning of time. Will all countries of the world have to give back land to ancestors of the people they took it from centuries ago.
Great point!
Also, the implication that white people are European seems fairly insidious given modern Europe is no more or less diverse than North America. It also implies those of East Asian descent are themselves colonisers, alongside many other things that seem to paint a fairly politically far-right image many groups like AfD tend to push as well.

@@littleone5201 Okay but the vast vast majority of people living in North America are not indigenous.

@Steve Sherman you identify or are Native?
Its only a drop in the bucket but I've been saying for years, a form of reparations for indigenous peoples should be TAX EXEMPTION. That covers the whole gamut: Property taxes, Income taxes, Estate/Death/Inheritance taxes, etc. Its kind of a slap in the face that you can be Creek, muscogee, Sioux pick your tribe and you have to pay taxes on a house and land that was legitimately and originally your ancestors to a government that stole it from you or didn't honor treaties after they acquired them. I also say tax exemption because the political space(old racist white folks) are against "Handouts" tax exemption means you keep what you earn and don't pay a toll to keep and own your property outright. Also when an indigenous person dies all wealth and property should stay in their family if said person has no next of kin it should go to their tribe. ... Like I said it's not a lot but a start
Donations too should be tax exempt to them
lmao native ppl on reservations aren't Canadian or American soooooo
Would just increase taxes for other people. Good luck getting support on that.
I’m a Canadian Cree First Nation, and let me apologize for commenting before even watching you video.
“How do we give it back”, you ask?
You don’t. Certain bands get what’s called oil money here (lump sum payments received reflecting their portion of the resources taken off that land that’s paid upon reaching legal adulthood), and believe me when I say all that filthy blood money has destroyed lives. We wouldn’t do good things with it either.
Any self-identified Indian, indigenous, aboriginal or first people go ahead and @ me. I buried too many friends & served as pallbearer at too many funerals to kid myself. How many family members have you lost in the battle for self government.
No one can give us liberation unless we give it to ourselves first, and that process has been killing us in far worse ways than were ever used against us; we’re doing to ourselves.
Why I say this? Because the land was given not US, but to EVERYONE; so spoke the creator. Humanity has had that wrong since the dawn of civilization, and it’s not changing anytime soon.
That’s all. Thank you for asking, I hope you’re not disappointed with an objective answer.
Edit 1: Thank you for even caring enough to begin with; you got heart in addition to a keen mind, that’s rare. That you still have one & kept it safe as long as you have, that’s rarer still. You’re ultimately proving me wrong in my doubts on humanity’s future, please continue to do so.
Edit 2: ...not going to lie; I haven’t enjoyed getting as involved in any comment section in ages. My self-proclaimed controversial standpoint is fairly tame in some comparisons. Most fascinating.
Hello Mr, Crazy Fool, I apologize but your name begs for multiple translations, I'm a reasonable person so I made only one... I am Canadian too and this issue has been floating on my waters for many years now and I think I see a simple, satisfactory and hopefully logical way to do this softly without making unnecessary storms: there is so much unoccupied, unregistered and ''maybe not pristine but close'' territory unfit for greedy speculation that hey, I say let's call the Queen!. Of course when I am reminded of the past and present atrocities the conquerers have relentlessly inflicted on usually welcoming and harmless people all over the world, right now I am looking at Vietnam, the destruction and the pain are beyond comprehension... So anyway, I am white, I feel guiltty all the time so I thought, maybe that would also cure my insecur... NAH, I'm perfectly fine, I just think that the land would LOVE to talk to you again. Happiness.
Roses & Prog - your comment just tickled me, thank you. The name is indeed not a misnomer, I’m certifiably batshiat & I have a highly controversial opinion on the matter. I don’t even claim to be right, just say it’s an answer; it’s sadly not altogether wrong either, no matter how it’s cut.
But when I read, “The land would love to talk to [me] again?”? I swear the first thing that popped to mind was a quote, “You know the funny thing about people who hear voices? They always crazy.”
Lovely prose, btw. You have a way words I found quite delightful.

Exactly, they constantly talk about injustice, but justice implies law. Who's laws were violated? Whites were the ones going to war, so can't be theirs, but the natives were once warrior peoples as well, they also took land by conquest from one another. Whites won because of a technological advantage, unfortunate for the natives, but that's how history worked. We should either speak only of war or of peaceful cooperation, not the removal of whites willingly, who would willingly choose to leave? The natives fought hard to keep their land, so too will the whites if it comes to it.

'Ae! Native Americans and Native Hawaiians both have histories plagued by colonizers.

@@christianprattx But you hate white people. Why should we help you if you hate us?
The Arab nations should give landback to the Assyrians, Coptics, Chaldeans, Berbers, Maronites and leave the Jews alone.
I've been saying for a long time that it is like stolen car; if you steal my car and sell it, you don't get to keep the car or the money. I get my car back and you have to give the money back before paying a penalty for your actions in the first place. We live on stolen land, land that must be returned. _I_ live on stolen land--land not covered by treaty. And even though every case that goes before the Supreme Court is found in favour of the First Nation that brought it, the colonialist government we live under still delays, denies, and just plain refuses to acknowledge the rights to the land of our First Nations.
Recognizing the need for reconciliation, I work to become a non-colonial occupant, one that is a good neighbour to the local First Nations and First Nations in general. Recognizing and dealing with our past is essential to us all going forward.
It can happen and it will. We will start a civil war if we have to but the land is coming back to us.
So if white Bob steals your car am I suppose to give you my car because I am white?
Thats a horrible comparison. Getting your car jacked and conquering land are 2 very different things.
@@northernyetigaming8566 Well, considering that it is an analogy to explain simply that possession is not 9/10ths of the law. Under the colonialist legal system this is how ownership works--theft only transfers possession, not ownership, This is why First Nations consistently win in front of the SCC. The analogy is meant only as a simplistic and relatable way the show how ownership does not change with possession.
@@rocketblogs2874 great joke. Land belonged to your ancestors until it was conquered. At that point, it wasn't theirs anymore.

Can I ask if we did infact give land back who would actually get it? Cause lets be honest many tribes have faught and claimed rights to the lands. Many tribes that no longer even exist so who gets that land? The tribes that killed off those ones? I am not in now way saying what white settlers did was ok but lets be honest withourselves here everone is shitty to everyone. Also don't some tribes view that no one owns the land. So is this not the same thing of one set of people trying to take shit from another set of people just with different methods. No longer warring and killing but legal battles???? To be honest I have no real steak in the game I am asian by birth so I have a pretty meh view on this.
What you're saying is 100% true.
Land isn't owned, it's held. 😀
It’d be dope of native people’s are able to end the genocide that’s been waged on them for centuries. Also how does this fit into the conversation of reparations for the descendents of enslaved peoples? I’d be interested to find out how both movements work together to strive for liberation.
It's their time to give back. To end the injustice.
I'm commenting with no intentions to promote more suffering- I've noticed many live with this ideaolgy our "land was taken"? As an adult now I've spent much time outdoors . Im very aware "the land is still there" it seems very silly to identity with this "they" took some land mentality. As far as I'm aware no one really owns any land . Also that would imply someone owned it to begin with ? This has never made much sense to me . These beliefs will continue to prevent growth and social progress . Maybe I'm missing something but ?......... (Also a native american even tho that shouldn't need to be stated) It's still there....all of if , where could It have gone?
Well done.

You can give it back by making a Native American President because that's the way it should be from the beginning
So~ Native American Barack Obama? That's probably what would happen. Or maybe a Elizabeth Warren, lol.
Excellent and important work as always. I always try to point out to non-Indigenous people (I am also not Indigenous) that just bc they're just now hearing about something, doesn't mean it's new. This is a long time coming and I'm afraid it won't be over w/out a fight. I will make sure to bring both cane and walker, as it's a walker I can sit on and I'll be able to hit them w/ my cane.

No one gave the land to the you and no one sold the land to you. Your people were just occupiers just like we are just occupiers. And by the way, my paternal grandmother was full blooded Osage Indian. My dad is one half Osage Indian.
Better business strategy to collect rent.
"Money is not the answer; the answer is land."
I wish I had access to land that I could call mine! I think its the hope of most humans and most humans have nothing.
@Steve Sherman Even getting to use it would be good. Around me land is £100 000 an acre. It might as well be a £billion an acre, its so out of my reach.
@Steve Sherman £100 000 an acre is just for agricultural land without a house. A house on an acre around me would be the better part of £2 million pounds.
My property is 300m2, with a four bedroom property on it and that's valued at £440 000.
I absolutely know that everyone in the UK on the average wage will never afford to buy land in UK. You need many many, many, many millions of pounds to do that.
@Steve Sherman Currently I am looking anywhere in England, Wales or Scotland with a budget of 1/2 a million for a house with some land. I am struggling to find anything suitable, so I think you are a liar to say you can find places for many times less than what I am finding.
unfortunately land and property belongs to USA I think is ridiculous that if you want to make improvements in you house or even fence up your property have to go ask for permission where is the freedom everybody talks about
USA is a great country but too controldd by the government I'm Mexican American all countries have good and bad there is no perfect place in earth but 1 thing I love Mexico is you have 100% freedom on land and property I can start building a home tomorrow and no need permits or inspections or anything else you own the land is yours I can build any shape size or whatever I want in my property and government doesn't bother you in fact we don't even pay taxes in our properties cero we don't bother government and government doesn't bother us sims as that my parents are from a small town where everything belongs to us lots of land belong to the community for cattle also each person owns land for agriculture and everything is tax free it's ours
most people only tals about how bad Mexico is but nobody talks the good stuff about Mexico you can open up.a business on your property like grocery store auto shop tire shop hardware store etc without probkem got that you get a business license like anywhere else but it can be next to your house just build a garage or whatever they don't care you on you own buddy
land conquering has happened since the beginning of the human race.
And you sir have failed to comprehend the concept of colonialism.

@@michaelsalmon9832 nope. Because if he did, he'd understand that how that translates into modern day. You and him both have a surface level understanding and choose not to use critical thinking skills.
@@stephanieamanze6763 what’s happening in the modern day is not colonialism, and the scholars who say it is happening in the modern day, I’m arguing are wrong
Native Americans and Canadians have no more right to any land than anyone else does
They are suffering from the after effects of settler colonialism, yes. Low household wealth, poor land on reservations, and racist treatment by the state and by whites (and non whites). This results in a lot of other harmful symptoms of those deeper problems. But those problems are a) broadly similar to the problems faced by any minority in the west, and by the working class generally and b) cannot be solved in an antagonistic relationship with other oppressed peoples in the west, white black or any other color, but only as members of an equal struggle in a community of equals who all experience some level of oppression and all have something to gain from fighting against it. “You got screwed, I got screwed, I’ll help you and you help me so we both don’t get screwed again”.
The only allies natives will get with their current approach is the shallow, empty and fashionable support of moderate and left liberals, and that’s been demonstrated time and time again with every other insipid intersectional movement since the 1960s
Ok?
Thíwahe wicóni!

All Races are just a mix bag of genes- thats called "Human Race" some are taller soms shorter some fatter some skinier some smarter some dumber some whiter some darker- see it for what it is - just a mixed bag of genes
Why should any mixed bag of genes have forever rights to any geographic location-
This is ONLY true in the eyes of Prejudiced people who think how they look rather than how they act is the defining factor of importance..
Consider how you act and what you do when its of benefit to the rest of humanity the rest of the plant and other animal species worlds 🌎.
Some will spend their entire Lives trying to make the "Mixed Bags of Genes" a "Thing"- Hmm, Maybe You should get over yourself your just not that important.

Buy it.
Anyone white people, Hispanic people or Asians with homes they own want to give it up to an Native American Indian press "1". Go!!... 😂
People should only be able to speak about this if they already gave up their land.
I have always been a huge advocate for helping indigenous people get back what was rightfully theirs. How can I or we help?
You’ll have to remove me and my family too. I own shares in Remington and Beneli. Good luck.

Sell your house or a huge plot of land to a native (depending on which ancestral lands it occupies) and embrace your heritage roots and country.
"Rightfully theirs"
Now there's something very wrong with these two words
@@goxyeagle8446 It seems that the best evidence we have points to that. These lands belong to the Natives, not "Americans." In fact, we can stem this to even more issues... If it's true, then all "Americans" are illegal immigrants and don't have much say about the Mexican "illegal" immigrants as well and puts them in the same category. I believe the 13 colonies were the only legitimate fair purchase of land... Everything else was B.S. and many if not all treaties by pre-Americans or Americans were not honored. I'm still learning and the truth is on the side of the Natives so far
So what about the tribes that the Sioux drove out of the Dakotas? Do they get their land back from the Sioux? Serious question... after all the Sioux raped, killed and took land long before white man.
Great video, please cover Syria
Will syrian arabs also give back land and go back to the arab peninsula? will the other arabs in levant and north africa do the same? will turks leave cypruss and anatolia and go back to the asian steppes ? no? so why should u.s give shit back ?
Where do I sign up I want land
Are you an indigenous person?
Most land on this Earth is stolen land.
European pilgrims along with African ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) settled in North America hundreds of years ago and have since then taken over and become part of the new natives. This has happened to many places many times throughout history, such as with ancient China who replaced the populations of it's neigbors by outbreeding them or Japan who's current population decended from Koreans or how the Islamic caliphate replaced a lot of rival cultures. Aryans migrating to South Asia. Arabs invading North Africa and becoming the majority in North African countries like Egypt and Morocco. African descendants in Caribbean countries like Jamaica, Haiti, Bermuda, Dominican Republic. Khoi and San are the indigenous people of South Africa. Not Zulus and Xhosas.
The Zulu were part of a wave of Eastern Coastal Bantu, displacing & absorbing native Khoisan peoples. The hills & caves of Zululand have Bushman paintings. Bushmen were there first. The Zulus invaded, stole land, and outbred the native Khoisan people.
That is why they are the majority ethnic group in South Africa today
There are many more examples.
you really typed that all out and for what? what is your point that somehow it's justified or that it's fine and we should continue with the status quo? because like no thank you
Actually black Africans were in America before Natives. The indigenous black native Americans were wiped out by the ones who came from Asia
@@jordanparker5962 they weren't wiped out and they weren't africans lol they were in the americas after all. much like australians and melanesians, the earliest inhabitants had dark skin, but there wasn't total replacement there is still a strong signal in south american natives' genes that makes them look a bit like melanesian genes because the mixtures were similar
so you're saying its ok?
THANK YOU! I never understood this stolen land crap when it's been going on all over the world since the Stone Age.
I find it ironic how these Native American activists talk about “living in balance with the land” when many native would routinely over harvest natural resources such as the Northwestern natives over fishing the salmon runs. It’s one thing to give some acknowledgement to a treaty. It’s another thing to do it using a romantic image of the native Americans which is largely false.
@willl 77 True but that largely has to do with large amounts of corruption within the bureaucracy that handles native affairs.
Like the old saying goes fight back never back down never surrender
If you have the Native Americans their land back then wouldn’t all Europeans would have to go back to Europe?
Too bad... I'm keeping it

@@purpleblastoiseWhatever you say, hippie.
The legitimate owners of the continents of North and South America are the Natives (America Indians or Native Indians) in the politically correct world. So give the ownership of the land to the natives and ask them for the usage of the land.

The amount of oil, gold, gemstones, farm-ability of the land taken would accumulate in the dozens of trillions... There's no way the govt could restore equity w/o going bankrupt many times over..so I say a good start is, tax exemption, free healthcare, free education (private, public, and ivy league), free legal consultation, and if you have a solid business plan govt funded grant of $500k ...I haven't even mentioned the basic value of owning land itself and the wealth generation it can produce if I'm the landlord. Those items listed is getting off extremely easy
Land back 🔑💚🌈🍄
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free land to live on and grow food on.
End farm subsidies
Everyone has the right to grow all their own food.
