DNC admits Minneapolis is built on stolen land, but refuses to return it

[marvin martian]

I think they should give it back.

Anything else is racist, right?

Stolen from who? Indians migrated here across the Bering Straights in one of the Clovis migrations.

Based on this acknowledgement...Trump should offer it back to the indigenous people it was stolen from.

N/As never "owned" the land my ancestors settled on, they migrated in and out of it for centuries (if you go by the dates of the arrow/spear heads they left behind) hunting and fishing but never stayed. Sorta odd as it's a nice area.....Ft. Valley, Virginia.

Not to mention tribes that raided, looted, and slaughtered other tribes mercilessly.

Very true.

If we give them Minneapolis, perhaps next time we'll get 99%.

We can put it to a nationwide vote.

Nomads in No Man's Land

The Indigians only had temporary territory. After hunting out what they had, they'd wander from place to place stealing their neighbors' hunting grounds.

They clearly haven't learned a damn thing.

They're forever stuck in 2020.

Nuh uh.

They also never warred with each other, or raped each others' squaws, or enslaved their enemies.

White man bad, peaceful indigenous people good.

End of story..........

End sarcasm.

They already have a good chunk of south Mpls.

Personally I wouldn't go there even during mid afternoon.

It's all theirs.

The richest tribe is about 40 miles south of the Twin Cities in Prior Lake. The casino serving the Twin Cities has made a fortune and it is estimated the 200 or so Sioux on the reservation there get a payment of about $100,000 per month.
Worked on a couple big houses on the res.

Called Mystic Lake Casino.
We call it Mistake Lake as many white people have donated many canoes in losses.
