Yes, I’m entirely too familiar with how native americans have been screwed over…you’re close to making another “I know more about Detroit than you do” mistake, actually. Please proceed.

But the problem is the native americans should have absolute right to do whatever they want with their land, it does have effects beyond their land (even though their land SHOULD be…well, the whole damn continent). If what we had done was smaller

The problem gets more complicated when you add in the fact that the people who are currently benefitting from the historical theft of the native American land and are living next to them now, and have built their lives there aren’t the people who stole the land in the first place.

It’s complicated. And I love that you try to flip the script and make me the colonialist…doesn’t work too well since Nestle does have an established history of that manipulative colonialist behavior.
