But I would add:

Who cares? Isn't there some sort of statute of limitation, or should we go back to every single land claim from the early 1800's and move borders all over? Should the Austro-Hungarian empire be re-instituted as well?

There ought to be a statute of limitations. In fact, there is. It is generally recognized that if you drop your claims for 50 years they are done. Argentina dropped their claims for more than 50 years.

s my indigenous friens would say: White men's treaties. White men's laws. White men's forked tongue.

Perhaps, but remember, both sides of this debate are white.
