Bill to Grant Native Hawaiians Sovereignty Passes House

[Twoller]

You can argue all day long about what the native Americans deserve based on their own culture. But in the end, you are up against the grim reality that native americans have had their land forced from them. It doesn't matter that native Americans have suffered the same inadequacies that cultures tend to suffer from. They deserved to own and be identified with the land they were found on. If anything is to be disputed, it is which native Americans are entitled to which land so far after the fact.

The Aztecs were a bloody, inhuman empire. Does that mean they deserved to be exterminated as a culture? Didn't they deserve a chance to see what the rest of the world was like and confront their own inadequacies in the face of new knowledge about their own and other human existance? Didn't they deserve their own land? Where else would they be expected to go?
