As far as I'm concerned the indians didn't own the land any more than we did when the white man appeared on the scene! Just because they were here first doesn't mean squat IMO. Lets face it, ownership goes to whomever has the muscle to fight for it and win. I'm not saying what the white man did was right, but thats what happened, and we're not going to change the past. Its as simple as that.

As far as indians having reservations in this day and age, I think its ridiculous. No other ethnic group in this country had land set aside by the government for them, and I don't think the indians should be given preferential treatment either. I can't go live on an Italian reservation because there aren't any, so why should the red man be allowed to have his own free land? Thats the same as the bull$hit story of paying off every black person because of slavery 150 years ago, or any other nationality who was persecuted in this country. Its high time the whole nation gets greased and to hell with the squeaky wheels.
