I'm glad the government is repaying the natives, it shows the people running the government have a conscience. That's good news to me and I'm only about 1/8 or less native from my fraternal grandmother's side she was 1/2 or less.
The US government worries me sometimes as I gaze upon it unbiased(as much as possible) history toward people which reflects the thinking of time, and I take heart when a more kinder approach to dealing with people in the way of national development is used.
I have a lot of residual distrust from living through the Nixon presidency and his carpet bombing of innocent people to destabilize the Cambodian government and bring an end to the Vietnam war with horror for USA.
